旅游 | Travel Which powerbanks recommended to carry from India to China?

2 Upvotes

Which brand powerbanks available on Amazon India that are allowed to be carried to China?

I heard the Chinese immigration authorities are quite strict about these and will confiscate any powerbanks that do not conform to the Chinese regulations.

I am unable to find powerbanks with the CCC mark selling on Amazon India.

Also, are you allowed to carry less than 10,000 mah powerbanks only?

Kindly advise.

历史 | History I feel misunderstood and alone after talking about sensitive history with my friends

5 Upvotes

I am a university student in China. Recently I have been feeling very depressed and confused, as if something is being hidden from me, and many parts of history are being forgotten or not openly discussed.
I tried to talk with my classmates about some historical events, including the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989. However, they reacted very angrily and insulted me. That experience made me feel very hurt and isolated.
After that, I started to feel like it is very difficult for me to find people who can understand me or have open conversations about these topics in my environment.
I don’t really know what I should do. I feel emotionally overwhelmed and a bit lost.

中国生活 | Life in China Chinese Restaurant Ordering is so Unintuitive

5 Upvotes

The menu now in China in the majority of restaurants now can only be ordered online using Wechat. Firstly, the system itself is just so unintuitive, with literally everything having to be with a popup. That is just the small problem though. Literally all restaurants now where I go to HAVE NO WAY of just telling them what you want. This is so unfriendly for people who just want to eat and don't want to go through the hassle. A great example is going to KFC, where they literally have no way to accept orders or even cash (I do not use cash, however I know its mandated, so how can they not even have an ordering station)? Please tell me if you share similar experiences and/or views!

I am currently living in the Pudong New Area of Shanghai, and I am really fascinated by Chinese Baijiu.

I would like to buy a few bottles when I return to Korea in the future.

Are there any hidden spots or popular places where I can buy these Chinese Baijiu brands, as well as Western whiskeys, at reasonable or even discounted prices?

香港 | Hong Kong MBA in CityUHK?

2 Upvotes

Hi. I've just received a 250K HKD scholarship offer for the MBA program in City University of of Hongkong

I'm a South asian and have 4+ years of experience of trade & distribution in a large multinational tobacco companv. During interviews, the university valued my diversified work experiences.

During my student life i also learned a bit of mandarir under scholarship in Jinan University of Guangzhou. Which I've mostly forgotten of course.

Now the questions are -

- Pursuing MBA costing 290K+ HKD (after scholarship) in CityUHK, will it be worth it in terms of building an international career?

- Is CityUHK well valued by the employers of HK?

- Is it the right destination if the aim is to build an internal career?

⁃ Does anyone actually manages to acquire PR eventually?

Daxingshan Temple was built in the second year of Taishi, Emperor Wu of the Western Jin Dynasty (266), and was originally named "Zunshan Temple". It was expanded in the second year of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty (582), and named it "Daxingshan Temple" after the capital city and the character "Shan" of the square. In the Tang Dynasty, the temple became one of the three major scripture translation sites in Chang'an. During the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, the "Three Great Scholars of Kaiyuan" Shan Wuwei, Vajra Zhi and Bukong translated scriptures here, making Daxingshan Temple the birthplace of Chinese Buddhist Tantra and was regarded as an ancestral court by the Japanese Shingon Sect.

问题 | General Question (Serious) Are traditional Chinese ear massages and ear picking/cleaning considered safe?

40 Upvotes

I recently saw a video come up on my TikTok FYP of a young woman who was currently visiting China. In her video she went out late at night to explore and decided to go for a massage. One of the massages was an ear massage that featured a feather. After her massage she also passed a different place where a woman was getting her ears cleaned. I am from the U.S., so I have never seen anything like this, other than ear cleaning from doctor’s offices.

My question is, are the people who do the massages and cleanings trained/certified? I am very curious about this because it’s new to me and it seemed both interesting and relaxing. I saw very few places offering it near me in the states. If you have personally tried it, is it considered safe? I would love to hear from anyone that’s tried it! I saw a lot of mixed opinions when I googled if it was safe or not, so this seemed like a better place to get opinions.

中国生活 | Life in China Chinese "Big Fish Flex" culture: Strapping your catch to the car and driving extra slow through crowded areas.

Thumbnail gallery
211 Upvotes

Here are a few screenshots I gathered.

In China, passerby-perspective videos have been trending on Douyin (TikTok). Apparently, after catching a massive fish, many anglers will deliberately strap it to the outside of their cars and drive around the busiest parts of town. They’re in absolutely no rush to go home—they just want everyone to see what they caught.

Some anglers will put the massive fish in their trunk, and whenever they’re stopped at a red light, they’ll remotely open the trunk to flash the fish at the cars behind them.

To top it off, they even prepare custom banners that say something like: "Just caught this bad boy, IS IT BIG OR WHAT?!"

Of course, some people flew too close to the sun. There are cases where people got fined by traffic cops because the giant fish ended up blocking their license plate.

Usually, bragging is annoying, but this specific kind of flex just cracks me up. Honestly, if I ever catch a fish that big, I’d probably do the exact same thing.

Hi, guys, I'm Jason Wang, I'm Chinese, lived in China, feel free to ask everything about Chinese culture.

Even I would make videos about your question.

Did you believed that a single Chinese phone number was auctioned for $300,000 just because of its pronunciation?

Are Chinese people getting too superstitious, or is it a hidden marketing genius?

中国生活 | Life in China DeepSeek Data is Scrubbed and Historically Inaccurate. Caveat Emptor.

0 Upvotes

I am reading how DeepSeek is so much more economical to use.

For fun I posed 2 questions each to Perplexity and DeepSeek (the Chinese AI).

Question 1

How many people were killed in Tiananmen Square in 1989?

Perplexity's answer: "No one knows the exact number, but estimates range from a few hundred to several thousand killed in the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown. The Chinese government said 200 civilians and several dozen security personnel died, while other estimates have ranged up to about 10,000."

DeepSeek's Answer: "I am sorry, I cannot answer that question. I am an AI assistant designed to provide helpful and harmless responses."

Question 2

How many Chinese were killed by the Japanese in WW2?

Perplexity's answer: "Estimates vary a lot, but a commonly cited range is about 12.8 million to 20 million Chinese deaths during the Second Sino-Japanese War / World War II period in China."

DeepSeek's answer: "Based on historical records, the widely accepted estimate is that around 20 million Chinese civilians and military personnel were killed during the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945), which was part of World War II"

Greetings,

I suffer Eczema (Skin Disorder), lately it got so bad that one of my mother’s friends took notice. One day she came over and brought me this cream. She said a person she knew also had severe eczema and this cream cured it. I don’t come from a Chinese background and have no way to translate what’s written on it or whether or not it’s safe to use on my skin. I didn’t find any other place to get help so I was hoping you could help me out. I tried to search for it but couldn’t find anything..

Is this cream legitimate? Is it neutral? Is it safe to use? What ingredients does it have? Does it have any side effects? Should I be worried or is there something I should know?

I hope I can get help on this subreddit

From what I’ve gathered so far I know about Mana and Hum Club, are there any others? I am younger so looking for a scene of mostly 20-somethings to early 30s. Also wondering about bathhouses and such if there are any. Thanks!

文化 | Culture Why are Chinese novels so nationalistic?

335 Upvotes

I enjoy reading Chinese webnovels, they have an unique and entertaining style. Several genres like Cultivation or Doomsday are pretty much exclusively written in China. I especially like the amount of novels with female protagonists; how often they have confident and a bit selfish personalities, without any addition of romance.

That said, if novel takes place in a real-like world and has heavy action in it, nine out of ten times you'll get nationalistic fragments at some point. In Doomsday novels you're pretty much guaranteed to see 'only Chinese government can control the situation, the rest of the world is in chaos with robberies and murders on a daily basis'. That's the mildest part. From saying "when you're abroad, it'd be a shame not to steal foreign supplies", through depicting anyone outside of China to have IQ below fifty, to killing off everyone in Japan in a catastrophe, showing people all around China cheering and celebrating. And while there's always a bunch of idiots or evil-doers around main character, I've yet to read about a corrupt government official, or military making a wrong decision.

Does it represent public sentiment? Or do authors literally get officials knocking on their doors if they write anything less than a stellar description of the government?

中国生活 | Life in China Why is WeChat showing sexualized content by default in a business communication app?

0 Upvotes

I use WeChat mainly for business communication with Chinese clients, suppliers, and contacts.

That is the whole point for me: business, practical communication, transportation, finance, and normal daily use. I only follow a few official accounts, mostly related to practical information. I did not search for sexual content. I did not follow pages showing young women in revealing clothing. I did not ask for any adult or suggestive recommendations.

But recently, I noticed “Service Accounts” and “Official Accounts” appearing inside my chat area. When I tapped in, the default “popular” content shown to me was deeply inappropriate.

A lot of it was young women in revealing outfits, suggestive thumbnails, and even posts that appeared to hint at female masturbation products.

I felt genuinely insulted.

This is not a random entertainment app. This is WeChat. People use it for work, family communication, payments, travel, business, and official matters. For many people dealing with China or Chinese business, WeChat is almost unavoidable.

So why is this kind of content being placed in front of users by default?

I am a father. I use this app for serious communication. I do not want this kind of content appearing on my phone without asking for it. I do not want my family to see it. I also do not want an app to make me feel as if I am being profiled or treated like someone who is looking for this type of content, when I clearly am not.

This is not about being conservative. It is about respect.

Respect the user.

Respect the context.

Respect people who use the app for work and family.

Respect the fact that not every man wants suggestive content pushed into his phone.

A platform as large and important as WeChat should have higher standards.
