Baduanjin (Eight Brocade), one of the most popular sets in the world. Now it's for real.

Too bad they don't know Al Colangelo's Monk Set #1.

Too bad they don't know "our methods". Nothing else even remotely compares.

Too bad they don't care about the basics of sanitation. Got that one right on the knocker. We had a survey some time ago that pinpointed the dirtiest restaurants in Auckland and most of them were Chinese.
Mind you, I wouldn't eat at any restaurant. Too many years of going through the kitchens installing phone lines etc and seeing the conditions they hid from their customers. Chinese or otherwise.

Not accusing you of anything here, macky. I love you man!
I've noticed an animosity growing in some people toward the Chinese. I don't think that is fair at all. They are living their lives (socialist? Hmmm?) as best they can in their situation.
I appreciate their culture, actually, as I'm sure you do too.

If friends can't exchange opposing views (or any views for that matter) we might as well pack up and not post at all.
We're all different, but there's enough overlap for happy times together.
We can only speak from our own experiences and opinions, plus some knowledge we pick up from the Net etc. I have every respect for Chinese or any other race because I was born colourblind which was always a problem for my mother.
My experience of Chinese eateries during my 90's decade of between 3-5 jobs a day installing phones and lines in the CBD in Auckland was apart from other races' eating houses, the Chinese were by far the worst. Not all, to be fair. Most.

It was only that what you said triggered the thought of what I've been seeing lately, that's all.

My best friend is Japanese and said he already has been on the receiving end of anti-Asian racism. Funny of course because for me I can tell the difference between a Chinese and a Japanese easily enough, but for some Americans I guess they're all the same. My friend has been through this before, he was born in California and is as American as anyone else, yet he was shipped off to a concentration camp in 1942 at age 11 by our benevolent government. An action that, let us note, was carried out by order of "liberals" like Franklin Roosevelt and Earl Warren. Anybody who thinks "it can't happen here" needs to study up.

Google "Chinese wet markets" and take a look at the results and you'll see these were excellent breeding grounds for a virus of this sort. In a small isolated country as part of their "heritage" it would be bad enough. In a country as populated and that exports as much as Communist China does, it's absolutely criminal. Especially with a government that fully does have the power to change it.
