As it turns out, the response from the safety crew at the Shanghai Circuit was nothing short of a complete and utter clown show, and it was fellow driver Loek Hartog who made the split-second decision to stop his Porsche right on the track and make a beeline over to Millroy’s Ferrari, which was still on fire.

I was taking the train from chengdu to chuanzhusizhen to see jiuzhaigou, and we passed the most beautiful city roughly 45-50 minutes into the train ride. We had passed all the stops before the hour stretch to chuanzhusizhen. Many wide skyscrapers like dominoes painted red on the bottom half and yellow on the top half. A couple skinny towers follwowing the same color scheme. Does anyone know what city this is?

China has a heavily male-skewed sex ratio due to female foeticide, so I understand that women hold immense bargaining power in the marriage and dating markets.

​When I watch YouTubes by international students living in China or documentaries on Chinese culture, men pay for almost all dating expenses, are expected to provide a house, a car, and luxury goods for marriage, and even hand over money to the woman's family. Is this an exaggeration, or is it actually like that in reality?

​If I were a man in China, I feel like I'd rather live alone than date under such humiliating conditions.

Hi everyone! I’m a Moroccan student currently studying Economics at university, and I’m trying to figure out my options for continuing my studies in China.
My plan is to complete 2 years of my Licence in Morocco and obtain my DEUG (Bac+2), then move to China and continue studying there, ideally in Management, Business Administration, or International Business.
I’m mainly interested in universities in Hangzhou, especially Zhejiang International Studies University (ZISU), but I’m open to other cities/universities too.
Ideally, I’d like to:
Study in English
Have my previous university credits/DEUG recognized
Complete the remaining Bachelor’s requirements in China (I’m okay with spending 2–3 years there rather than necessarily entering directly into Year 3)
Potentially continue with a Master’s in China afterward
My question is:
do chinese universities generally accept a Moroccan DEUG/Bac+2 for transfer or credit recognition? And what universities r those.

I will be staying in Beijing (Sanlitun) in October, and I'm looking for a nice modern restaurant to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. Something unique. Any suggestions?

I’ve been in this country for quite some time, but being less outspoken and introverted has made me loose certain opportunities at some chances, in a country where foreign business strives I shouldn’t be finding it hard to get some cash daily, please do anyone have any business ideas that requires low capital that a student can start, and make certain reasonable amount from it and also ways to invest well

Hello, I'm considering accepting a teaching role in the Xicheng District of Beijing. I'm in my early 30's so a huge bustling city appeals to me, but I see very polarizing reviews online of the city, and some people saying the city is depressing or too sterile, along with the complaints of being too spread out of a city and too cold. I am wondering, any thoughts on living there as a foreigner for your first time in China?

I've also looked into schools in Suzhou, which I know must be very different than Beijing.

Any insight is appreciated!

Hello, my boyfriend and I are planning a trip with a 10h layover in Beijing and we were wondering what to do during that period.

I'd like to go out and explore, but my boyfriend is worried we are not gonna make it for the next flight.

Has anyone had experience in Beijing airport? Are security checks fast and smooth? Is it hard to go back to the airport and find your way around? Is there anything to do for 10h??

If I manage to convince him, what's the best thing to do in the afternoon/evening? What's something unmissable near Beijing?

Thank you all!

On August 28, 2026, China’s National Development and Reform Commission held a meeting calling for faster funding and project implementation to stabilize investment. Technology, industrial upgrading and new infrastructure were among the areas identified for further investment. Official statement, in Chinese

That same day, Sheng Songcheng and co-authors argued in Yicai that local governments should be wary of treating AI infrastructure as a replacement for property-led investment. Their concern is that building facilities before establishing demand could reproduce problems of overinvestment and debt. This is their assessment, not a conclusion of the NDRC meeting.

I've been reflecting on these issues recently, and I welcome any challenges or discussion.

China already had a national AI plan in 2017, so the strategy cannot simply be explained as a response to the recent property downturn.

My working hypothesis is that several motivations overlap: raising productivity, reducing technological dependence, and sustaining the CCP’s claim that it can lead China into another stage of development. Local financing and project incentives may also shape how those goals are implemented.

The difficult link is between national technological success and improvements in household incomes, employment and economic security. Neither technological achievements nor failed projects, by themselves, tell us how people evaluate the government.

Which part of this framing is weakest, and what evidence would support or challenge it? I would particularly appreciate studies or concrete project examples that help distinguish these explanations.
