Let's slag off the Chinese
Firstly a question which I want everyone to at least try to answer.
IF China ever became the next superpower, what effect would it have on westerners? Would they find us and kill us all or would our homelands just be less wealthy than they were?
I'm not sure the Chinese can ever be top dog if my staff and customers are anything to go by, they seem to have no initiative whatsoever.
This I think comes from years of communist rule and being told what to do and not being free thinking. I like my staff but they seem incapable of doing their jobs without being told to, even though it's the same day in day out.
The customers are thick as shit and rude, they let their kids shit in the street, they ask me if they have any questions - in Mandarin of course - despite the fact I am surrounded by 4 Chinese staff.
They are dirty and their lives mean nothing to me, they are mass produced, ten-a-penny, bargain basement human rats who do nothing but consume and breed and defecate thousands of tons of faeces a day.
They are nosey buggers too and stare all the time, they invade your personal space and they treat animals appaulingly compared to Thailand and some other parts of Asia.
I was just in the supermarket buying aubergines and took my camcorder to film stuff, includng the suffering frogs, some with all the skin off their heads, eels and fish in such crowded tanks the water is the consistency of slime and terrapins in plastic nets... Anyway, about ten minutes later I was buying some ruby red grapefruit juice and the manager came up to me with an obsequious smile and said 'no no no' whilst gesturing toward my Panasonic NV-GS1 which I'd rested on its inverted leather case on the push bar of my trolley, facing forward so I could get a good POV shot with the front of the trolley just visable at the bottom of the screen.
Did I also forget to mention that it is not possible to buy an overseas call card (IP card) in the huge phone section of the supermarket upstairs yet they are readily available from any tiny family back alley shop.
I know some very nice Chinese people, but not many... One is well educated, one is a Christian (My sis in law) and one is half Canadian.
None of us are happy with this place, Beijing was a slight improvement but the people make the place and the people are in such a multitude that it's rediculous.
Quality not quantity, will they ever learn?
