Here, we continue on our exploration of China from the comfort of our own personal computer, personal laptop, or personal media device. This is a multi-part post because too many videos will prevent the post from loading, and also, I tend to get sidetracked on various issues.
Also, please keep in mind that the purpose of this post is to illustrate that the rest of the world, outside of America, has moved on with their lives. That while they might not be as great as America is, they are doing just fine thank you.
And while America has been squandering it’s money, decimating it’s resources, and just being cavalier with it’s military, the rest of the world has done the opposite. They have husbanded their day to day fortunes, and you can see this in their day-to-day lives.
This is the final ninth of a mighty mega-post.
As a quick reminder, to all the new comers here…

Chinese monuments to THEIR history
Conservative traditional nations always have monuments to their history. They revere their past and teach the lore to their youth. They are never ashamed of it, but rather use it as examples of how to live your life in various ways where all the good attributes are passed on one generation to another.
We used to do this with such American heroes as Johnny Appleseed, Paul Bunyan, Davey Crockett, and George Washington. It’s sort about how the Marxist progressive liberal democrats in the United States worship Karl Marx, Che, and Barrack Obama.
Statues are erected to the heroes that have shaped the society that we live in. Those that want to change the society, and demolish the social order, desire to tear down those statues.
The Chinese SJW folk wanted to do just that. Luckily they were stopped in the 1970’s and today, China honors it’s collective past.
For those of you who are fixed in thinking that these are just” statues, you are missing the point. The point is a continuation of societal virtues for a continuation of the positive aspects of ones’ culture.
For instance, where would the Thanksgiving turkey be, if no one celebrated Thanksgiving? What if they called it “Eat a bird day”, like how the progressive liberal Marxists have done away with saying “Merry Christmas” at work in America. We treasure our past through stories, and history. We also eat our history, in great delicious bites…
Further, we have many variations of this holiday that has developed over the years. Such as having turkey sandwiches (hot and cold) all week long, and turkey soup, as well as the leftovers from the main event. Good eating, for certain. Life is too short, not to eat well.
They be swanging…
Other nations, not having to worry about war and excessive taxation to support the wars, can spend their time on other things. This is often in the form of new and unique parks, buildings, public structures, and just plain fun things to do.
Riding a swing is pretty darn popular in China.
Life is about having fun. We are all so caught up in the news that is designed to frighten and manipulate. Don’t allow that. Think about good things, important things, delicious things.
Life is far too short.
Racing through the snow
Yeah. I know, I already talked about HSR, but I just cannot help myself.
Why worry about carbon emissions when everyone is using public transportation? What if it was cheap, clean, well maintained, and easy to access? Wouldn’t you prefer to use it for casual rides to the local store? Wouldn’t you prefer to use it to go to work?
I know that I do. It’s stress free (usually).
If only 10% of the population uses HSR and public transportation instead of driving, that means that there will be an extra 10% more of fuel availability. this will be reflected in cheaper gasoline prices. As such everything is affected that is impacted by gasoline costs… like food.
Po-Dunk China
And as I had stated earlier on, let’s keep this all in mind, shall we…
Also, please keep in mind that the purpose of this post is to illustrate that the rest of the world, outside of America, has moved on with their lives. That while they might not be as great as America is, they are doing just fine thank you.
And while America has been squandering it’s money, decimating it’s resources, and just being cavalier with it’s military, the rest of the world has done the opposite. They have husbanded their day to day fortunes, and you can see this in their day-to-day lives.
In case I am not making myself clear on this issue. This little po-dunk Chinese town looks like it has nice infrastructure, good roads, is clean and has a happy vibrant population. This could be Detroit. This could be Los Angles, and this could be Baltimore. But No. No. Noooo. The money is for use else where.
That money is for far off wars where large amounts can be skimmed away without any kind of accountability. Who is left holding “the bag” for their greed? We are.
And, you can see how this manifests all over the United States.
America. Wake up and look around. These are our cities. If the elected officials have failed we have two and only two options. They are;
- Continue using the same methods and elect replacement officials. Hope that they will do a better job than their predecessors. (Don’t hold your breath.)
- Scrap the system. “Nuke from orbit.” Start all over from scratch and appoint trained, and talented (real) experts to manage the city.
Look around people. Those whom are running the nation are frigging idiots. They do not have our best intentions in mind. They are evil, corrupt and have gamed the system against us. Either we go along with their game, or we start all over.
These sociopaths are not liberal or conservative. They are not Democrats or Republicans. They are not beholden to a country or community. They care not for their fellow man. They don’t care about future generations. They care about their own power, wealth and control over others. They have no conscience. They have no empathy. Right and wrong are meaningless in their unquenchable thirst for more. They will lie, steal and kill to achieve their goal of controlling everything and everyone in this world. This precisely describes virtually every politician in Washington DC, Wall Street banker, mega-corporation CEO, government agency head, MSM talking head, church leader, billionaire activist, and blood sucking advisor to the president. -Us vs Them
You can easily see just how bad they have been when you compare the United States to other nations. Oh, it’s one thing when there were only three news stations and they controlled everything. Now they are trying to do that again through Facebook, Twitter, and Google. Don’t let them.
This is not acceptable…
Do you know what this looks like?
I’ll tell you. It looks like the rich oligarchy in control of the American government has declared war on the American people. That is what it looks like. In many ways, the liberal progressive cities in America look like war zones.
What is needed is to tear out the rich oligarchy that has completely destroyed America, extract them, and set in place preventative measures to guarantee that this sort of thing will never happen again. Sort of like this…
Bonus awards for employees
In China, bonuses are quite common. No, I’m not talking about the (tiny) fractional add-on bonus you get for this or that which are common in American factories. I am talking about the real deal… cold hard cash. Handed to you in person. No strings attached, and no taxes due.
Yah. You spend that money girls.
Guangzhou
Yes, America has been put in a stranglehold by powerful interests. They do not care what happens to the country or the nation. All that they care about is their power. For them, it is not enough to live like Kings. They want to live like Mayan rulers. With the rest of the population treating them as Gods.
These sociopaths are not liberal or conservative. They are not Democrats or Republicans. They are not beholden to a country or community. They care not for their fellow man. They don’t care about future generations. They care about their own power, wealth and control over others. They have no conscience. They have no empathy.

This comes into sharp focus when you visit other cities elsewhere in the world.
How the factory owners live
In China, as a traditional nation, it is a land of merit. It is a meritocracy and great rewards await the successful person. Many of them are so far removed from what a typical American would be exposed to that I won’t even bother reporting on them.
That’s it for now.
Thank you for visiting. I hope that you enjoyed yourself, got a taste of what life is like in another nation, and maybe obtained a better or worse appreciation of your home nation.
I apologize for my various rants and raves, but it adds some color to the article. Like how you can add hot chili peppers to pizza. Too much and the pizza is inedible. Too little, and it is too bland. What we strive to do is to hit that “green zone”, the “just right” mixture of fact, opinion, humor, and rant.
BTW. I wish you all a great life, and happy travels. No matter who you are, or where you are. Go get yourself a nice cigar, and a tall pint of frosty beer, and maybe some delicious food. Treat yourself. Have a good time.

This is the real deal. Forget about all that nonsense that you find in the British tabloids and an occasional write up in the American liberal press. This is the reality. Read or not.
Learning About China
Contemporaneous Chinese Music
This is a series of posts that discuss contemporaneous popular music in China. It is a wide ranging and broad spectrum of travel, and at that, all that I am able to provide is the flimsiest of overviews. However, this series of posts should serve as a great starting place for investigation and enjoyment.
Parks in China
The parks in China are very unique. They are enormous and tend to be very mountainous. Here we take a look at this most interesting of subjects.
Really Strange China
Here are some posts that discuss a number of things about China that might seem odd, or strange to Westerners. Some of the things are everyday events, while others are just representative of the differences in culture.
