it's easy to be romantic about foreign china when you completely handwave the existence of their social credit system
there's a reason their people all behave like completely soulless automatons, and that will be you if you decide to live there. you will integrate and lose yourself to their system, or you will be removed (if you're lucky)
probably best not to look up the open-air organ harvesting operations that are literally grabbing people off the street into mystery vans to this very day
or the crumbling corncob infrastructure of fake styrofoam-structure buildings
there's a lot of problems with china

I've been going at it half-assedly off-and-on over the years. I'd like to get back into it but the effort-to-reward ratio seems unfavorable. Do you have any resources to make the process more engaging, efficient, or enjoyable?

What draws you to that work? I don't know anything about it but looking at the date of publication you might want to make sure you find a modernized one that uses pinyin romanization instead of the older, less accurate Wade-Giles.

I like their hieroglyphics. Some of them are literal drawings of things that they've been drawing in a similar fashion for thousands of years and I think that's kind of charming. Tonal languages are an abomination however.

Have you ever studied Latin, DEUS VULT flag?

What makes Japanese easier? The number of foreign loan words? FSI ranks them both as "super hard."

My suspicion is that this has to do with the Cultural Revolution gutting traditional Chinese virtues and creating a scenario where a criminal class was by definition the only class of capitalists for a number of years, giving bad actors a head start when they eventually liberalized their economy.

>China drinking all US brain drain
unlike the us whose stance is "you can be american if you are useful", in china you're always a fifth rate citizen if you are not chinese. the first four are all chinese, so you're lower than a chinese peasant. at best they'll pump and dump.
