There’s a running joke about the Chinese Firewall existing not to limit China’s exposure to western media but to contain the unlimited might of the Chinese Sick Burns brigades from being unleashed on a naive and unsuspecting western world.
Someday I hope that we can see the Roast of America, hosted by Jeff Ross, and featuring China’s internet.
I mean, they’re not wrong.
Aren’t Chinese names always, like, five puns in a trenchcoat? Or is that only PRC, not Taiwan?
Cantonese is spoken in Canton province and Hong Kong, not Taiwan, i think Taiwan speaks mandarin
They speak Mandarin and a Taiwanese dialect that’s just different enough from Mandarin to be infuriating.
But also, even Mandarin isn’t entirely one language. There’s a ton of variation across the provinces. Beijing and Shanghai have their own dialects, for instance.
Yeah AFAIK Mandarin is official in Taiwan but a few others (chiefly Hokkien) are common.
If you know Chinese Mandarin, you would have a tough time understanding Taiwanese Mandarin.
I see, I don’t live anywhere near the area nor speak any Chinese languages, so it’s good to ve corrected
Best I can say are Japanese names are just things
I really don’t know much myself. I think the brand Huawei both means Chinese progress and red lotus? So their logo is a flower but their name is also a salute to China?
And then apparently a bunch of fandom stuff but I can’t remember any of it.
Is this for real? It would be a delicious little nudget, but I don’t seem to find a way to check it
Make it so
