TIC (This is China)

[MJH]

I would like to think they do that as a joke, that they are making fun of people that put so much emphasis on brand names. But not likely more likely is that it could be that some that view the emblem never realize it is not an actual BMW and are impressed, that gets recognition. Then if that person is a woman she may also give up some face to get access to the cash she think he has, but really does not.


It is not that hard to figure out dumb fucks is it.

OK, some might quibble that, for political reasons, this clip does not belong in the TIC thread. But we don't (yet) have a thread called TIT (This is Ta*wan). Anyway, this does represent Chinese ingenuity at its "best". (With apologies for those without inside the firewall without a grannybuster.)



cheers!

the truck driver must be from Huzhou - Anji - Moganshan area as you see that particular unloading style all over the place with fully loaded bamboo trucks....

I was thinking the same thing, but the Chinese signs in the video are too blurry to pinpoint a location. The poster says he made the video in Ta*wan, and the trucks driving by do not look like typical mainland trucks. And the yard is tidier than one might expect in Zhejiang...

This technique certainly would explain why so many trucks in China appear from behind to be badly out of alignment.

Surely TW.
Just wondering how they are loading it

The sound in the sound track is either in Taiwanese dialect or Fujian dialect, which are close enough. I'd venture to say this is Taiwan, probably not Taipei. Once you leave Taipei going south in Taiwan, it's quite similar to mainland in appearance by and large.

Definetly not mainland - the truck is not blue

Nope it is fair to say that all of us are slowly but surely paying the penalty for living here, albeit in more ways than we might otherwise imagine. The consequences though are likely to be felt for many far and distant from now.

Check this out, just to get a visual idea ...

Please dont' think pollution is the domain only of china. There are parts of Christchurch city (NZ) where no building is allowed. The ground is totally poisoned from years of timber treating. Last year alone many containers of NZ milk powder (60 tonnes (CW 270 tonnes) total were blocked entry to China because of standard regulations. Previously the Melamine fiasco company was actually in partnership with a NZ milk powder company. I use NZ as an example as it is reguared as a clean and green paradise, which it is.. THERE YOU GO. if NZ is so bad, China doesn't seem as bad after all. The reason why pollution levels have increased over the last 10 years is simply because of the massive increase in the amount of cars.

We all know it, right .... but frankly it scares the hell out of me to see that pic ...
And that is only the air ... how about food, fruit, meat, water, fish, ...

Mate.. ther is no word for LOGIC in Chinese.. the word is LUO JI.. it is simply borrowed from overseas and they found words with a similar sound. Logic comes from the word LOGOS in greek and the the world LOGOS means THE WORD.
This is a fundamental cultural difference. For example. A dildo will do as well as or better than a bloke in satisfying a woman, however it wont' get her pregnant.
The concept of ZERO is also signified in Chinese with a CIRCLE as their number system failed to include zero, the "logic" being "if there's nothing there, there is nothing to talk about."

That was my point. The Eskimo snow thing is a fallacy just as the idea that there is no word for "logic" in Chinese is as well.
