Report: Cheap Chinese NBA Players Falling Apart After A Couple Seasons

Hmm, I doubt it.

I need pics of you at those places to prove it.

 

No, you represent the girl next door.

 

She is your neighbor...just go knock on the next door

 

Funny thing is that other 21 bosses also wish that. Let their dreams come true Les!

 

Agree.

 

Hi, we can discuss about that.
As my experience of communication with Taiwanese, I find the divarication and angry are mostly from the misunderstanding of concept of 'China'. Maybe it's because of the influence from media of both goverments.
It's not arrogant.
When we say 'Taiwan is part of China', it means national China not govements China.
Of course we know the govements of China and Taiwan are total independent with each other. But we can not accept the conclusion that 'Taiwan is independent with national China'
When we say 'Chinese', it means ' 华人 ' at most time, but not people from People's Republic of China.
In our mind, ' 中国人' = ' 华人' at a lot time.
but in your mind ' 中国人 ' = 'people from People's Republic of China'
Maybe that's the biggest culture different occures for the 60years of division.

 

When you start talking 'Taiwan province', you have lost your case. You are the one need to go somewhere else.

 

I appreciate your courage to stand up and agree with all your points. Let's cheer for the rockets!

Go Rockets!!!

 

China is still a developing country. We have too much skilled workers but still lack of high educated business elites. I understand there is no reason for people to like low quality products, Although it's nothing to
do with Chinese basketball players.

 

This thread would put even the D & D to shame..

 

You raise an interesting point regarding the difference between what is considered ethnic people versus government but I think the Taiwan / PRC situation is a bit different than that. Ethnic Chinese in Singapore call themselves, ' 华人' , but no one would consider Singapore to be '中国'. I think the difference between ' 中国人' = ' 华人' quite greater than how you portray it the use of '中国' does imply a single nation unit rather than just an ethnicity.

For people who don't know Chinese the Chinese terms ' 华人' is generally considered the Chinese ethnicity / culture and is generally used by the Mandarin speaking Chinese diaspora to refer to themselves while the term '中国' is the name of the country of China, FYI it means Central State, and ' 中国人' would be a litterally translated as "person of the Chinese (Central) state."

 

Not true.

that's my point, man. whatever, i think it's enough for this thread now. really enough!

 

i can't bear even people from sg come to this place to talk about what "chinese" is, come on man, this is clutchfans, wanna talk about chinese? go to other bbs, yahoo china, ok?

 

my thread didnt get one star I'm seriously considering leaving this cursed place, full of crappy threads and low quality posters

Now this thread has everything. Misunderstood jokes, Pryuen getting angry, and arguments about Tibet and Taiwan are essential parts of all great threads. But it's not complete until there's a Street Fighter reference.

 

Wow, how did I miss this. This thread really transpired into a thread.

 

Lighten up folks. It's funny.
