I don't think the issues with parking would be quite so pronounced if there were less damn bikes. That's the tipping factor, the sheer volume of bikes that don't so much line the sidewalk as they do blanket any open space. Take the hoard of bikes near Tai Koo Li. Are you telling me we honestly need upwards of 100 bikes three rows deep taking up 3/4 of the space?

And as for people complaining, well, if you didn't park like an arse I can understand. However, there appears to be more than a few people who took the 'park where you please' part all too literally. They spoiled it for the rest of us.

If you have a motorcylce license and car driver's license together its easier to convert, it makes no sense but if you apply for car and motorcycle license you can take the exam in English and that's it you will get your license within a week. If you only have motorcycle license you can convert it but the exam is only in chinese.

Yes , this is the easiest way and as you say, the test is in English. Just convert your existing license.

Regarding driving within the 4th ring road. The chances of getting caught are pretty low to be honest if you stay away from the government buildings. Know people doing it for years

Many times you get away with a warning only.

Of course Chinese can't go anywhere else they need visas for everywhere (including HK) because nobody wants them in their country. Fucking losers lol...

So true. They will never see how others hate them. Too narrow minded and too third world like.

So, does this place sell coffee or bespoke caffeinated vignettes?

That is not a pizza, someone just baked bread and threw some slices of meat (looks uncooked) with green vegetables. When is a pizza place going to make a real pizza? Pizza bread, not too thick like in this article, cheese (for some reason Chinese don't know how to make decent cheese and they don't know how to import it (German beer ok, but where is the decent cheese zhongguoren?), next is pepperoni. Their sausage meat tastes like oily candle stuff. Be very careful when you buy Chinese sausages. Their bacon is nothing like bacon in the West. Finally, mushrooms. I know they have decent musrooms, but why don't they put all that together have make a decent pepperoni mushroom pizza on pizza bread with cheese?

This is not pizza they are making in Beijing. They are just slopping stuff on thick bread.

Without including this deplorable exhibit, China's perspective on Africa has been less than charitable as seen by recent events.

This summer's blockbuster film Wolf Warrior 2 was notable for its nationalist themes as well as massive collateral damage to an "unidenitifed" African country and its people. And, it will all be revisted in the upcoming Operation: Red Sea in which the Chinese army is again deployed to Africa to rescue hostages and, as the trailer shows, blow up stuff.

Over in real life, this past summer saw a weird internet phenomenon by which poor African kids were exploited in an intern et campaign to promote Chinese products.

This past summer also saw that whole unfortunate "it's so hot in China that an African got a tan" Chinese news trend. And let's not get started on that Qiaobi laundry commercial that the Global Times turned into a national issue.

But hey, what do I know, I may be confused. Just like this (also unfortunate) Chinese internet meme that exclusively features black people:
