Lol, you think voting in Russia is free and fair...

I have a Russian employee who is always astounded that our election results aren't known within half an hour of the polls closing. Yet they manage to do it in Russia. You remind me of her.

Check the quality of Chinese girls who came to a party with the guy from Facebook.

They definitely don't mind dating a good IT guy with a good salary.

That's for foreigners.
Zero Chinese IT guys I know are interested in arranged marriage. And would you marry a prostitute like in the video?
In China college graduates marry college graduates only, almost no exception.

So now the Chinese are using cultural Marxism together with economic fascism, all operating under a typical end-stage socialist totalitarian dictatorship. No thanks.

It's officially called "socialism with Chinese characters" not communism.
Sometimes I wonder why Americans confuse socialism with communism. Intentional?


China has never practiced real communism either (according to Marxism), because even during Mao's era, the redistribution of products is not need-based but as a compensation for labor.
Also China never fully eliminated private ownership even during Mao's era.


Many people died in 1959-1961 but not 40-50 million. In fact, Chinese population increased a lot during the Cultural Revolution.

Did he only kill 20,000,000 or 30,000,000?

I heard that a boy without his own house or apartment has no chance to marry a good-looking Chinese girl. It's probably difficult for a young college graduate to buy a house.

No, never. China's population reached 1 billion not long after he died.
When the PRC established in 1949, the population was about 400 million.


People died in a bad economy and Mao should be responsible for that. But saying he killed XXX million is a lie.

Difficult but not impossible, depending on where you live.

In China parents take care of the down payment.
Nobody buys houses either, only apartments. And usually people don't get married right after graduation.
