what an actual shithole lmfao
even after prostituting to US markets, the whole city looks like a vague asian or jeet dump

>>213692811 (OP)
Because in the 400 years of Taiwan history we didn't have to eat each other to survive while in mainland china there have been many cases of this happening. People aren't kind and don't share if they don't think there will be enough to eat tomorrow. During the great leap forward the farmers that shared their crops died while those that ate them all before they could be collectivized survived. That's just 1 example of the 8 or so similar events that happened during this time period

Shut the fuck up you vapid golem. Your smoldering crater shithole is ground zero for the type of sodomite globalist mindvirus that has plagued the entirety of western civilization. The only thing you and every son of a bitch posting here under the US flag knows how to do, is kneel to blacks and worship transsexuals, fucking faggot. I can smell the cock on your breath from here. You believe that men can give birth. Anyone competent at your workplace has been replaced by a DEI hire. Go kneel to George Floyd and set yourself on fire for Palestine

People who have visited both Taiwan and mainland China often observe differences in how people interact, with Taiwanese frequently described as more friendly and polite in general interactions
.
Several reasons may account for the perceived difference:

Cultural Differences and Traditional Values: Taiwan, having not undergone the Cultural Revolution, is seen by some as retaining more of China's traditional culture, including a stronger emphasis on Confucian values like respect for elders and politeness.
Political and Historical Factors: Differing political and historical experiences of Taiwan and mainland China, particularly the impact of the Cultural Revolution, may have shaped societal norms and values regarding interpersonal behavior. Some argue the Communist Party's suppression of traditional culture and promotion of class struggle damaged social trust and politeness in mainland China.
Emphasis on Social Harmony: Taiwanese culture places a strong emphasis on maintaining social harmony and avoiding conflict, which translates into polite and respectful interactions. A study found that a significant portion of Taiwanese attribute the importance of respect to preventing conflicts and fostering harmony.
Open-mindedness and Curiosity: Some suggest Taiwanese people are more open-minded and curious about others, including foreigners, leading to more welcoming interactions.
Use of Polite Language: Taiwanese people are noted for frequently using polite phrases like "thank you" and "excuse me" in everyday conversations, a practice less common in mainland China according to some observations.
Development and Socialization: Some argue that Taiwan, with a different pace and trajectory of development compared to mainland China's rapid economic growth, may have experienced a more gradual "socialization" process where traditional values could be better integrated with modern lifestyles.

1. South China is different from China.
2. Taiwanese aren't genetically Chinese.

Important considerations

Generalizations and Stereotypes: These are generalizations, and individual personalities and experiences can vary widely within any population. There are friendly people in mainland China and impolite individuals in Taiwan, according to Quora.
Perceptions and Expectations: People's perceptions of friendliness can also be influenced by their own cultural backgrounds and expectations.
Evolving Societies: Both Taiwanese and mainland Chinese societies are constantly evolving, and social behaviors and values may change over time. Some observers note an improvement in politeness among younger and more educated people in mainland China.

In conclusion, observations suggest that Taiwan's cultural values, historical context, and emphasis on social harmony contribute to a general perception of Taiwanese people as friendly and polite in comparison to mainland Chinese.

Taiwan isn't nasty Confucian. it's Daoist.

kek fpbp

>>213692811 (OP)
Because Taiwan is Daoist while China is Confucian. You might not think it makes a difference but it's literally as big as the difference between Christianity and Islam.
Confucianism
>Only family and your boss matters, in every social interaction there must be a leader and a subordinate
This leads to extremely toxic behavior where you have to "save face" to keep your position and boot lick those ahead of you. It leads to lack of empahty
>Daoism
>Be one with nature
More closely related to western values of inner values based on morality than hierarchy. Daoism promotes individuality and local communities.

Actual Thai people hate you Chang

China, Hong Kong and Singapore are hyper competitive environments who live in a dictatorship. Taiwan is also competitive but the result of not going the college path isn't homelessness (Hong Kong/Singapore) or 996 death factory (China). So Taiwanese can be more chill. Also as >>213693465

Daoism is more chill as well.

I visited at T1 city in China and liked a lot, except for government control.
I also like Japan and would live there if I could, but I have no hopes of getting a permanent visa.
I'm White. I have remote job and fill all the requisites for a remote Taiwan visa.
Should I consider moving there? Will I have a good time?

I lived in Taiwan, Japan and China for 1 year each. Taiwan is the most boring but also the most comfy to live.

But again it's also boring if you care about things like partying or meeting singles.

You do know that had a massive cult of personality like the mainland.

>During the great leap forward the farmers that shared their crops died while those that ate them all before they could be collectivized survived.
Each part of China had radically different levels of adherence to Mao's agricultural policy. It wasn't because "those who shared got ruined", it was because some admins directly adhered to TSD and other just didn't do it. The mainland is know for being super decentralized; on one hand a benefit, on the other it can cause disparities in policy. As seen in how some areas have a wide array of nuclear and renewable energy while others go for coal.

Based sexpat who lives in China who posted videos of how shitty China looks irl while fucking Chinese sluts daily. The seethe he caused from Chinese shills is so legendary they can't go seconds without mentioning his name.

No they didn't. The Taiwanese never liked Shek and replaced him and his regime the minute he died. Though even then his worst was still better than Mao

Ty for answering fren
>Taiwan is the most boring but also the most comfy to live.
Eh, I'm getting old so that is not that much of a con.
The idea is to have a fixed chill place to live an travel to other asian countries nearby depending on my mood. I wanna travel all over Asia. Japan-lite without tons of tourists and crazh work culture sounds awesome
>>Most convenient due to there being more 7/11s than people
Nice, that's a huge pro
>>People are friendly and don't hate foreigners
I stayed for a week only in Guanzhou and found the people there friendly enough, if Taiwan is even better than that's perfect
>>Freedom and no police bothering you for being a foreigner like in China
Honestly didn't have this probably while in China, quite the contrary. I was with a retard who was acting like he was still in Brazil and the police didn't seem to care
>partying or meeting singles.
I have MASSIVE yellow fever, but I'll be bringing my own Asian-passing latina wife kek
Taiwan seems like the perfect place for what I'm looking for:
Asian civility
Peace and quiet
Nature
Malls, technology
Japanese culture
Friendly locals

Is it possible to get by on English, at least for some time?
How "clean" is the country,?

>>213694206
the french flags, alex ford meacham

where are there??

>>213694221
>I stayed for a week only in Guanzhou and found the people there friendly enough,
They are but it's different. Chinese are friendly to foreigners but rude to each other. Taiwanese are friendly to foreigners and themselves (except to SEA, they treat SEA like dirt)
>Japanese culture
Only superficially. They like Asian anime and culture but don't act Japanese themselves.

If you are moving to Taiwan and already have a wife I recommend somewhere other than Taipei due to the cheapness. Where I stayed in Changhua was $180 a month while in Taipei it could be up to $900 a month.

>>213694082
Weird how Chinese can buy their way into other whoreish, loose countries with their money and be allowed to say what they want with no repercussions, whereas mutt paypigs immediately get kicked out for being annoying pests? Why would you admit to being a cuckold like this and try to glorify it?

>>213694278
You don't get kicked out of China though. They don't know if you are posting on 4chan. They can't track that like they can other social media they created. Alex is still living in China probably

>>213694305
Answer my question though. What does it say about your country if it lets foreigners walk on your soil and trash it?

Can you call me Akex next. I want to be Able too

>>213694380
This. When china let African migrants come to china and rape their women without punishment, what does that say?

>>213694277
>I recommend somewhere other than Taipei due to the cheapness.
Ty for heads up, will definitely consider it.
I loved how cyberpunky Guangzhou felt. Any cheaper city with the somewhat similar vibes, or Taipei is my only choice for that?
asking again:
How clean is the country?
Is it possible to get by on English only?

Thank you

>How clean is the country?
The country is very clean, but some areas have a lot of older buildings. You can look around areas of random neighborhoods to get an idea of what to expect.
>Is it possible to get by on English only?
In Taipei, yes. Elsewhere, no. You'll find fluent English speakers everywhere but the further away you get from Taipei the lower that percentage is.

>>213694411
That's more of an American thing. They don't even get prosecuted for their crimes here.
White boys have a whole category of porn that they get off to where they masturbate to black men having sex with their wives.

>>213694622
There were massive protests because the CCP lets Africans rape any woman they want. I know you seethe at the USA (Despite moving there) but rape is illegal in America

>>213693715
We have more home ownership and our houses are cheaper than Taiwan tho

>>213694506
Hello Alex. Still fucking that yellow puss?

>>213694752
To own yes, to rent no. In Taiwan the government has rent control so things have to stay a certain price or below

>>213694769
No one rents in Singapore except foreigners

Yes life is harder for foreigners, but fuck em : )

>>213694736
I never moved anywhere. I'm stuck here though, so you're gonna have to acknowledge what I write.
>There were massive protests because the CCP lets Africans rape any woman they want
Provide a source
> rape is illegal in America
I only hear about blacks raping people in the US and getting let out with impunity. I talk to cops. Serial rapists get let out if they're black because da instetutshuh be oppressin a black maile n sheeit. It happens everywhere in this country.

>>213694802
I never mentioned foreigners. I'm saying renting is cheaper in Taiwan. Also
>Foreigners
Nearly the entire country is foreigners since it's supplied with Indians and Chinese every year.

The CCP lets Africans get away with rape because they want to keep them coming to China and spending money

Taiwanese couldn't even build their own flagship building, they had to use another countries construction company to build it.
Meanwhile China builds all of her own buildings. LOL how embarrassing!

Actual answer: Taiwan was the crown jewel of Japanese colonialism. It was their first actual colony and started developing it with the utmost care and paternalistic humanitarian fervour, similarly to the first phase of the colonization of Korea, their only other actual, proper colony. Japanese rule stretched from 1895 to 1945, giving ample time for the newly settled culture to stick and truly influence the way of life. Also, unlike Joseon which as incredibly backwards as it was, had an established culture and proud identity, Taiwan was itself already a mishmash of Qing-era Han settlers and aborigines.
Korea retained bits and parts here and there, even in the language today. But meaningfully, they demolished almost all buildings erected by the Japanese. In Taiwan, you can still see them, and even the presidential palace is still a colonial building.
In Taiwan there were definitely episodes of friction and violence, but the Japanese left a mainly good memory of their rule there. They lived according to Japanese customs with tatami in their homes and all, and you can still find old people who speak the language.
From that, it's not a stretch to posit that the current Taiwanese psyche and way of conducting themselves is at least partly deeply influenced by Japanese culture in peacetime day-to-day living, given that they share a similar characterization by those who visit them to this day.
