I’m a western born hua ren and I sit down. Makes cleaning my own bathroom a lot easier and less gross. Back when I was married to my ex, she really appreciated it as well. Also, I don’t think it’s any less “masculine“ at all. What‘s so “masculine” about splashing tiny droplets of toilet water and pee all around your bathroom?

Like politics, friendships, relationships etc. do they get discriminated etc

Hi friends, I hope everyone is having a good day.

I am a mod on r/HerpesCureResearch a community composed primarily of patient advocates dedicated to spreading awareness and tracking the latest scientific developments regarding the herpes simplex virus and other types of herpesviruses. As many of you may know, HSV is a lifelong neurological infection for which there is no cure, and has a number of negative effects.

Recently we have noticed a lot of positive signals coming from China regarding this field, for example there is a gene editing program known as BDGene currently in late stage clinical trials, whereas the American equivalent of this technology is languishing in preclinical purgatory, due to lack of funding. There are other projects as well, but BDGene’s project is the most interesting one. In addition, China recently announced a 5 year pharmaceutical development plan for 2026-2030, which emphasized the intent to invest in first in class therapies.

Overall China seems poised to find a cure first, or at least significantly more effective treatment, for this virus which has plagued humanity for millions of years. Our community has been buzzing with excitement as we watch these developments unfold, and many people are already discussing possible medical tourism in case this medicine makes it to Chinese market first.

So, with all of that in mind, I wanted to ask the fine people here who may live or have lived in China, if they have any thoughts on this subject, and on HSV and medical tourism in general. For example is HSV common in China? How does society view it? I am very curious to know about how Chinese society views HSV, and if there are any patient advocacy groups we can communicate and collaborate with? I have been using AI to search Chinese language internet but I haven’t had much luck or I don’t know where to look.

Thank you for reading and we welcome any thoughts or comments.

Most people who are not residents of China have encountered a problem when registering Chinese tiktok (doyin), and I myself have been looking for a way to solve this problem for a long time, and by pure chance I discovered it. You need a Filipino phone number, you can just rent a phone number For 20 minutes and register, and during registration, surprisingly, it will not require you to go through several steps of the

I was able to register 2 accounts in this way, and it seems to me that this is a temporary method that will be fixed soon.

I've been in China for a month now and realised chinese people waste a lot of food. They order loads of dishes and finish like 50% of them, why is this?

I have a few possible reasons, please tell me how accurate they are:

1. A lot of the dishes are in very oily sauces so they dont want to eat the food thats at the bottom of the plate because it too oily

2. They get excited and order too much, even though they are adults, they can't seem to gauge how much food is needed for the group

3. They enjoy wasting food

P.S this behaviour seems to contradict other videos I see of chinese people being super greedy and taking all the food in the buffet or all the toilet paper from the bathroom. Anyway, I'd appreciate all comments, thanks in advance!

EDIT - I am talking about eating in restaurants not at home

just wondering because I have been living here for a while and every time this happens I am shocked!

There is saying in Pakistan - “Pakistan and China are brothers”

What is your take on this?

I feel like no matter what I look up online from the states I’ll get very skewed and propagandized info, but I see a lot of varying positive posts about chinas economy and governance with how public infrastructure and overall services to the public are in a great state and constantly improving. Anyone from China care to comment on this? How is it on a day-to-day?

大家好，我是一名30岁的澳籍华人男性，家里的亲戚都在上海。

我打算带女朋友回国度假，期间会在上海停留探望亲戚。我想请教一下大家，给家人带什么礼物比较好？家里有两个分别1岁和5岁的小孩，当然还有中老年长辈。

我记得很多年前，国内的人很喜欢澳洲的皮草、巧克力和红酒，但现在情况似乎不太一样了，所以我不太确定送什么合适。

请大家帮帮忙！

For Halloween was thinking of dressing as a contestant from Squid Game or one of the guards

I searched on Taobao and Alibaba using English and Chinese 鱿鱼游戏 but no result.

Am I just out of luck? Or do I have to search something more specific.

Hello! I want to get a 碧落 (biluo) tattoo and did my fair share of research, and I like all the meanings behind it, both in Chinese and Japanese, but I speak neither of those languages, so I’m interested if there’s something I’ve missed or if there are any meanings or nuances that I’m not aware of. I’d also like to know what it actually means to native speakers.

Besides the social apps ban, is my work email completely out the window? And what would happen to my steam account since I heard there's a Chinese version of it am I just gonna lose access to my current profile and library? And are there things that most people don't realize or prepare for before moving?
