we need more chinese in Nunavut Canada

I'm a Chinese 14yo who grew up in canada. this summer, I'm going to visit China for the first time and I wanted to make some friends with people my age!! so I'm curious about how they usually act and what's popular among the Chinese teens.

Would love to hear people’s thoughts on this one! Obviously China is quite modern and is quite nice in a lot of ways but cost of living can be high, job market difficult, etc. Do you think it’s better as a place to live or as a place to visit (for family, tourism, etc)?

here in the west, there are a variety of stereotypes for different social media. twitter is seen as horrible and toxic, reddit is seen as full of circlejerking dweebs, tumblr is full of young nerds (and often type in a specific, easily identifiable way), etcetera.

do chinese social media platforms also have these kinds of specific stereotypes?

i saw a group on Facebook selling dij drones. probably from the factory directly. How sure can i be that its not a scam?

Thanks for replies! 😊

Hey, I want to write a the apothecary diaries (an anime and light novel series) fanfic with kpop demon hunters as AU (alternate universe). So since the apothecary diaries is set in China, I would like to have chinese mythology and culture in it instead of korean one. To make it as good and respectful as possible I would need to research a lot for it. I thought that maybe some of you know some good media sources for that, it could be anything like youtube videos, online articles, podcasts and more. I hope that wasn‘t too weird of me to ask.

hi everyone,

I have received pre-admission letters from three different universities. Recently, my government announced the MOFCOM-CSC scholarship, and the deadline is May 3.

However, I just found out that there is a restricted list of only 26 universities eligible for the MOFCOM program. Unfortunately, the universities I received pre-admission from are part of the regular CSC program, not the MOFCOM list.

At this point, I’m feeling quite confused and worried. Is there any chance to obtain a pre-admission letter from one of the MOFCOM-approved universities in such a short time? Has anyone been in a similar situation or has any advice?

I would really appreciate any help or guidance. Thank you very much.

Hello! I’m planning to visit china in august and i need some help on how i should plan everything. Im travelling from copenhagen denmark to shanghai from 30 july to 12 august. I want to be in shanghai first and the longest, but i dont know how long. Then, it doesnt matter in what order, but i want to see the avatar mountains of zhangjiajie (sorry if misspelt) and maybe stay there one more day if it’s an interesting city (please let me know). In chongqing i want to stay for 3 days and lastly i want to see the national park of jiuzhaigou. As i said it doesnt matter what order everything is in (shanghai first).

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Hello everybody! Im planning to start exploring the world of contemporary China. I am quite tired of the western narrative that everything China related is bad, so i wanted to form my own opinion through exploration(in general i just want to enrich myself as a person). I have downloaded red note, i play some hoyo games but apart from that i find it hard to get in touch with chinese culture primarily because of the online firewall that makes it hard to access chinese media.

Music for me has always been a force that pushes me forward to get a deeper understanding of a nations way of life and language. For example, two years ago i discovered japanese city pop, jazz fusion and j-pop and that pushed me to start studying japanese. Because of the cultural revolution however it appears that the chinese music scene didnt develop a strong jazz fusion scene and so far the only artists representing that genre were from Taiwan(they are amazing but im looking for someone from the mainland).

So do you guys have any recommendations? Any type of artist would be good to be heard but as i stated above i do have a preference for jazz fusion and j-pop(i would be interested to hear the chinese equivalent of j-pop). I know that Spotify is banned in China so where can i discover these artists? Thank you for your help and recommendations in advance.

hey everyone! i just finished a master of laws at an african university and i also have a bachelor of laws degree. i hope to go to peking university to get a masters in international relations/international studies in about three years. i'm gonna work to make sure everything is in order (mandarin, work and research experience etc.) before then.

i'm curious if someone who went to peking university for international relations can tell me what it's like (bonus points if you were/are a postgrad student, a foreigner and/or black) . how's the campus life? course rigour? i've already looked through the module list and i'd like to know what were your favourites. how likely are you to land a job as a teaching assistant as a foreigner? my country has a bursary agreement with china but do you know of any others? how do the people in the area treat black people? social life (does it exist?)?

this isn't an exhaustive list, any info you have would be great!

My husband and I are traveling to China from the US for his cousin's wedding in a couple of weeks. This will be my first time meeting some of his family in China, including his aunt and the cousin who is getting married, and I would like to bring them some gifts from the US. They're in Shenyang and his aunt and uncle are middle aged, the cousin is a male in his early 30s. What would people in northeastern China appreciate in addition to the red envelope we intend to give as a wedding gift?

I’m sorry this is so ignorant but based on the entertainment content it seems like it’s almost normalized in society/culture? Just curious for no reason at all.

TO CLARIFY Chinese shows and stuff seem to normalize it? Social norms are what I’m more interested in getting some insight one. Like if you cheat on your partner and tell your friends how do they react? Is it all fine? Do you feel guilt? If you get cheated on do you leave right away? Is cheating a deal breaker?
