This shit right here is the truth. You can't trust the Chinese as a Westerner, you have no face there.

After having had a Chinese roommate for over a year and gone to a university that's 40% foreign Chinese students, I can confirm that they're terrible people. Over there they refer to corruption and bribery as "having connections," and it's completely socially normal and expected.

Yes a Chinaman at college told me about how people simply buy their grades back in china. The chinese going to american school just have the money to get good grades.

This thread just made me die inside a little, I should have expected this fuckery from the country that produced the girls who filmed 2 girls one cup. The chinese are fucked man, it seems like a dog eat dog world out there, and a man eat dog world kek. But seriously, thanks for letting me know your experiences over there, wish me luck.
