Fili's World: How to enrage the Chinese people

  • Mark S. · 3 years ago
    Tell them that, for many reasons, Chinese characters are less well suited for writing modern standard Mandarin than Hanyu Pinyin.

    I've found that works pretty well in pushing reactionary buttons. Heh.

    Interesting article. Since this was the first article that I read linked from Problogger, I was expecting something else. Interesting nonetheless. #2 & 3 doesn't affect me since I have feel no love for China, or more specifically, the Communist government of China.

    Besides, isn't Israle in the Middle East? You kept saying 'the west' and 'back in our west' and gave me an impression that it is part of America or Europe! So I checked the map and saw that it is to the WEST of China - no wonder you feel so smart about yourself.

    You're right, ofcourse.

    Israel is in the (western) middle east, but it seems that the Israeli culture is more Mediterranean and western that it is middle-eastern, which might have do with Israeli history.
    Oddly enough, for political reasons - when it comes to sports and economics, Israel is "considered" Europe, and anybody visiting Israel notices that Israeli culture is highly influenced by the US big-brother.
