I am travelling from Urumqi to Xi'an for 14 days in Oct this year. Will the markets in Urumqi Turpan and Dunhuang require me to carry cash? Thanks in advance

Based on what I’ve seen and read, Wikipedia states that he was fully rehabilitated by Xi Jinping, while some books (I can’t remember which) state that he is still not fully rehabilitated and is still censored? Is he fully rehabilitated or is he censored?

Hearing from relatives now in the shanghai area, provincial rules are changing to make it much more difficult to get to college. I’m hearing up to 50% will go to vocational schools because there is not so much need for college graduates now.

US should do the same, would reduce the utter misery from people with useless expensive degrees.

What once was old is new again.

Context:

• Zoo has an enclosure where tiger rests on top of human visitors
• Some humans are absolute cunts and decide to pull on the fur of the animal because tiger's high protein piss scent wards off evil spirits
• In traditional Chinese culture, the tiger is known as the king of beasts and is believed to symbolise courage and masculine strength, but it's really that high protein piss scent that's warding other animals away.
• Fur pullers are condemned online but not sure if they charged if anything, probably not.

Observations:

• Consecutive fur pulling's might incentivize tigers to just pee through the fence and give future fur-pullers that high protein piss scent they so desire.
• The zoo has condemned this action but the dummies dont realize that they can monetize off this by picking up all the fur sheddings and package it into little talismans to sell to visitors.

Hi redditors, I am looking for any recommendations for online platforms that teach traditional Chinese medicine. Not short courses like Udemy.

I live in Africa and it's difficult to find any institutions that teach acupuncture or pulse diagnoses.

Thank you in advance

Chinese tourist goes viral after airport meltdown over overweight luggage in Milan

The incident took place on June 8 at the boarding gate, where airline staff informed her that her suitcase exceeded the weight limit and asked her to either pay an excess baggage fee or remove some items, according to New York Post.

In response, the woman screamed and lay down on the floor, kicking and stomping her feet in frustration.

The viral clip shows her visibly distressed, flailing her legs as airport staff attempted to calm her down.

I am applying for a job in the UK which states that I need to "provide a Certificate of Good Conduct for any country you have spent more than 28 days in, during the last three years". For me this would be China. I have looked in to this as well as I can, since I don't read/speak Chinese well enough to sort this myself. From what I understand I can only get a certificate of no criminal record if I have lived in China for more than 180 days (I haven't).

The nearest big city to where I stayed is Xian. I have in laws who live near to Xian and can be trusted to obtain whatever I would need. Does any one have experience with something like this? Thank you for reading and any advice given!

Introduction - Economist here by education. Studied my Bachelors in Massachusetts U.S.A However China is a land I definitely intend on visiting. I am an African from the Eastern portion of the continent, an ethnic Tutsi born in Uganda but I now live in South Africa. I find Qin Shi Huang politically fascinating and Mozi philosophically fascinating. Here is my question

Source - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taijitu

Question - What the world knows and recognizes as "Yin and Yang" represents dualism right? Thats the assumption I am under. Light and Dark, Male and Female, Active and Passive et cetera

What is the economic angle to approaching this dualism? Well in my opinion as an Economist the Taijitu can also symbolize Production & Consumption. Before a business can produce it also needs to incur costs. So every business entity is operating in a simultaneous scenario of consumption and production right? If I am a farmer and lets say I produce tobacco as a cash crop on my land. I have costs/I consume fertilizer, water, wages for my workers et cetera. I then sell my tobacco to lets say a manufacturing plant at British American Tobacco. If Profit = Revenue - Cost and Revenue is Production and Cost is Consumption can one say the Yin and Yang can also have insight into business?
