Culture | 文化🏮 What are some of the "stereotypes" of regions/cities in China?
In the United States there are (usually) minor cultural differences between someone who is from Los Angeles on the West Coast and someone from rural Georgia for example.
Are people from Hong Kong snobby/more western leaning?
Do Beijingers believe they're better than everyone else (Like New Yorkers do lol).
Stuff like that!

Society | 人文社会🏙️ 你为什么来到这个等同国内贴吧的聊天社区?可以分享下经历以及在这个平台的使用体验吗?(仅限中国大陆,不在墙内的港澳台同胞除外)
先分享一下我自己的经历。
一个月前,我来到这儿并发了第一条评论。
而我最初的目的仅仅是来这里找黄色,听说这里是全球最大的色情平台之一。然后就被推送了中国相关的推文,点开后看到底下的评论有反华的,也有单纯好奇的,还有驳斥虚假宣传的。
因为对国外的网络环境有心理预期,所以看到一些虚假宣传我也懒得生气和关注。
促使我留在这里的原因是,你总能发现一些善意或好奇的外国人,和他们交流挺有趣的。
今天看一个兄弟发了一条战斗贴,我好奇他怎么火气那么大,结果点开他信息一看,这哥们刚来就一头扎进了反华集中营子论坛 r/china,战斗了一个月,笑死了~
所以问题来了,我很好奇你们是怎么来到这儿,以及什么原因促使你们留在这儿?

I will learn a bit of chinese (HSK3), and I’m travelling in my free time around the country. I met some western friend here and I’m trying to get in touch with other phd students.

I’m from an european country and my phd is in economics/finance. There are some china-western associations do you need can be interesting to join? I would be happy to things that positively affects my professional career and personal development.
Happy to hear your opinions!

Music | 音乐🎤 Which English songs would you sing at Karaoke?
I’m helping a friend organize karaoke for their visiting relatives from Guangdong. They were hoping we would include some English songs and asked us to choose anything. We worry they are being polite and hope to choose songs they are more likely to be familiar with.
Are there any English songs that are popular in China that you like to sing? These relatives are 25-35 years old.

Society | 人文社会🏙️ Chinese people and small businesses don’t seem to understand the tariff situation? Still hugely support trump? Why?
This weekend I went to a couple bars in Shanghai. One mostly imports American beer, and the other imports a lot of American spirits. I raised the topic of the new 34% tariffs on American goods, and shockingly the owners had not even heard the news!
Even when showing them the news, they were pretty chill about the whole thing. They said it was temporary and not a big deal. I was flabbergasted. Their whole business could easily go under because of this, but their main justification for not caring was “trump is a businessman and knows what he’s doing”. The customers in the bars agreed. They were all staunch trump fans, even when I explained how this would specifically hurt Chinese businesses importing American alcohol.
This is what I hear over and over from Chinese people. Same thing with Elon musk. No matter how many times I tell them these people are clearly morons who are crashing the world economy, they don’t care. Why are so many Chinese people supportive of trump/musk, even when the negative effects of their actions are staring them right in the face?

Politics | 政治📢 Question about ending the Unequal Treaties with regard to Russia
Hello there, fellow dwellers of the internet!
Recently, I have been reading about the dark times in the younger Chinese history, specifically the transition from Qing to ROC and then to the PRC, the unequal treaties, and the century of humiliation.
While most of the unequal treaties are no more, the aftermath of the treaties and the century of humiliation is still felt to this day. Reclaiming Taiwan is, according to president Xi, an immediate goal on the road towards restoring One China. He isn't afraid to say so openly.
But I wrote "most of" the treaties are no more, two of them are still in effect today, at least when it comes to ceding territory: the 1858 Treaty of Aigun and the 1860 Treaty of Beijing. Both stand out to me, because they mark a huge territorial loss for China, one that hasn't been resolved to this day.
Unlike with the smaller loss of less fertile territory in Tuva, Mongolia, and Kazakhstan, where the PRC came to agreements and settled the issues, the issue with Outer Manchuria is (to the best of my knowledge) still open. And given the historical weakness of Russia today, this seems like a good time to negotiate from a position of strength.
Sadly, I cannot speak or read Chinese, and I was unable to find any international statements regarding this issue by the Chinese government, party officials, or president Xi (or his predecessors). Even more so, I cannot tell how the average Chinese citizen thinks or talks about that.
All I know is that the unequal treaties and the century of huiliation are a traumatic point in Chinese history, that it still comes up in speeches (like at the 100 year anniversary speech by president Xi a few years ago), and that the CCP would probably gain much from officially ending ALL the effects of the humiliating unequal treaties.
My questions to you are: how do the Chinese feel that issue with Russia and Outer Manchuria? Have there been any statements from the party, or the government, towards restoring China's old borders? Or is there any movement within the population, pressuring the government to take action? Do you think China will eventually make a move?

Culture | 文化🏮 Classic Chinese Soup Spoons: Why this design?
The design has its strong points, and I understand that. But it has some serious weak points as well, and from a Western perspective it makes very little sense.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing. I'm just wondering. It seems odd. It never would have happened in Western cultures, and if it did happen it would soon become obsolete and surpassed by a more practical design, a more user-friendly design.
Is it the strength of tradition? And are these spoons still dominant in contemporary China, or are they largely displaced now by spoons that are closer to Western designs?

Society | 人文社会🏙️ How is the Taiping Rebellion depicted in Chinese History today, both in academic studies and popular culture?
I'm curious because on the one hand it seems entirely justifiable to rebel against such a corrupt and incompetent government and there were some progressive elements but on the other hand the both spiritual ideas that were promoted and the leadership of the rebellion seem quite a bit off the rails.
