The law only says teachers must come from a native English-speaking country, the big 5: Canada, UK, USA, South Africa and Australia. Twenty yuan says this requirement isn’t from Chinese people, it’s for some school for children of racist diplomats. Beijing is just the worst.

    Possible, but there are far more rich people who choose to stay in the country than those who choose capital flight. And not specific to this kindergarten but plenty of places have this kind of hiring practice catered towards petit bourgeois rather than full on bougies. I personally know a couple people in Wenzhou and Wuhan who had to move to grey market tutoring after they were replaced by white teachers.

        Sure, and now there are new bourgeois, that’s what 2 of the stars on the flag are for. Just because they’re under the control of the state and not the other way around doesn’t make them any less bourgeois. No one needs to pretend China has already achieved socialist utopia, that’s a WIP.

          One star is for shopkeepers and the other is for patriotic bourgeois who donated their whole fortunes to the Revolution.
          Do not lecture me on the five stars. I’ve worn them; you haven’t.

            LMAO I’m literally Chinese please don’t assume (not that it gives me any more authority than anyone else to speak on the matter, I can only speak for myself and my own experience).

            How do you expect me to explain the presence of capitalists in China if you can just claim the bourgeois were all liquidated? Is it possible to be so secure in the belief that just because they’re under the thumb of the party that they’re somehow no longer exploiting workers? Or that they are no longer a force that can threaten the revolution if allowed to enact further capitalist restoration? These things are put up with to develop the productive forces; that they are unpalatable does not necessitate denying that they exist at all.

              Chinese as in ethnically Han? Or PRC nationality? My guess is ABC as this is a suspiciously native level of English. ESL always mentally translate from Chinese and there is a whole awkward vocabulary of political terms.
              I used to translate government documents back before auto-translate and they were a doozy. Whole concepts that I had to read a book to understand.

              The presence of capitalists in China if you can just claim the bourgeois were all liquidated? It’s called Dengism. Sir, this is a communist website.

                No, born in China, spent half my childhood in China and half overseas, hence the English proficiency (My hukou is definitely expired at this point).

                I consider myself Han but I know there’s some amount of Manchu in there too.

                I think we were just talking past each other regarding semantics then, I’m in agreement with this lol.

                    Yeah, it says 汉族, and it says Han for the ancestor who I’m certain is Manchu, such is the case for not an insignificant number of 东北人。

                    Without looking it up, who were the Gang of Four?

                    Bruh really? What’s next, uploading my DNA sequence for the CIA? What am I supposed to prove here?
