Western culture adoption by Chinese.

Majority of people in China will speak Mandarin even if China absorbs a lot of neighbouring countries.

Tibetans' mother tongue faces tide of Chinese

Teenager Dawan Dunjhu is Tibetan and lives in Tibet, but says that if his friends and classmates can't master Mandarin Chinese, they have little hope of a professional future.

And what’s your point? Do you deny that for most people speaking Standard Mandarin is a requirement for a successful professional career in China? Countries have compulsory education to make sure kids learn what they need to learn. All Chinese students are taught English despite some parents‘ call to abolish English classes.

It's okay to learn how to handle spoon, fork and knife but why heels ? I find women wearing heels to be fake-posing. Their walk becomes artificial and not elegant. I wonder which idiot invented heels.

apparently high heels were first worn by Persian men, as the longer heel helped with keeping the foot in stirrups when horse riding. I don't know when it became womens fashion.

So it went from Iran to India to Europe. And this :

In 1430, chopines were 30 inches (76 cm) high, at times

Bloody hell !

This :

Then, during the Medieval period, both men and women wore platform shoes in order to raise themselves out of the trash and excrement filled streets

Reminds me of the excrement-throwing shout - "Gardyloo" from Scotland.

A 17th-century law in Massachusetts announced that women would be subjected to the same treatment as witches if they lured men into marriage via the use of high-heeled shoes.

Hmm.

After the French Revolution in the late 1780s, heels, femininity, and superficiality all became intertwined.

Heels and superficiality... at least that part is correct. I find the gait of women wearing heels to be fake.

How many people are attending these classes? It's just people taking an interest in foreign culture. Loads of people learn Salsa or speak a foreign language, or learn dishes from foreign cuisines. Look at how many European people do Yoga. It's not a problem to take an interest in a foreign culture or to adapt aspects of which which you find attractive.

The problem comes in when people value the foreign culture in such a way that they undermine their own and spread discord in their own society. Pakistani liberals are a perfect example. In fact they say a picture speaks a thousand words - I saw this on Twitter as a perfect example.

Not a second thought spared to how many Malala's, the drones killed sleeping in their beds.

First time seeing these classes, and I am sure if i posted this video to bilibili( young people most favorite site, it will get 90% dislikes).

I think in modern culture they're linked to the trend of hypersexualisation of society. There is no logical sense in wearing something so uncomfortable and awkward to walk in. Long term use also causes damage to your feet. Fashion dictates that women wear them so they look more appealing to men. A woman in heels has legs that appear longer, more tones and her buttocks more defined because she has to arch slightly to maintain proper balance.

Agreed.

You are correct.

Well, I am not attracted to female basketball players.

I don't really find heels to be sexy.

Chubby, voluptuous. I like the roll of the word Voluptuous.

Got through the thread, I was responding to a chinese member deflecting to what’s going on India by citing the case of English language and its adoption in India.

Truth: Majority of the countries will opt to merge with China if provided an option.

Haha, then why are there border disputes and why is China still contributing to one of the largest emigration (Chinese moving out of China) pools in the world?

Also the fact that Chinese are atheist, the Muslim world would not like that.

There are borders because China is not providing an option for them to merge with China.

It is the magnanimity of China that she is providing her intellectual and financial capital to other nations for them to grow.

Out of curiosity, is the source of your opinion first hand experience of living in china, or something you read on the internet?

 

[DoTell]

Wish every country was autocratic like China- invade, impose and imprison. Cultural homogeneity would be established more effectively without trying to go the more difficult route of learning a second language that enables people with different mother tongues to communicate with each other.

You have been fed well by your own propaganda. It must feel good knowing China's development is simply the result of its evilness. You Indian angels are too civilized for that kind of thing. You should come to China and see for yourself how us lowly slaves live. Maybe then you will have real pity on us

China has invested 100 Billion USD and counting in CPEC. If given an option Pakistan will merge with China.
