As I guy who lived in China for 9 years as a 老外, I passed elementary school and for unforeseen reasons could not continue my stay in the country. In elementary, at least in my time, it was tougher than that of western schools, I was in a regular Chinese school and there were teachers who hit their students with rulers, but with time it smoothed out and I saw it less and less. Speaking of GaoKao, yeah, it’s fucking insane, last time i have talked to my old classmates I only have been able to do at weekends because only then does she(in her case) have time for that. I think the whole thing starts even before high school, in middle school, where the students start to get prepped. China is not solo in this one though, for example Russian ЕГЭ(and post Soviet countries in general) are also hard and matter a lot for your possibilities to get into a good uni without having to pay with your soul. Chinese case, is in my opinion, just eastern over-achieving, which should be made easier for the sake of poor students. In Russians case, it is the consequences of a broken education system.

Yeah man, I agree. USA should do so too. Ya know, too big of a country eh? Texas and Florida should separate and California following them as an example. Especially California, I hate California.

Thanks for the critique! I agree with you on the part about Putin being the most adequate choice on town. But it still shouldn’t be taken as the normality. I think that my country could grow immensely if it had more candidates that were presentable. I simply dream of some change and of better future for Russia. I of course am against all the pro western guys now, and quite ashamed of supporting Navalny in the past. I am saying honestly that I am not very smart in the region of Russian politics as my time spent outside of the country and far away from political concepts make my ideas skewed or outdated. I really should invest some time in investigating the political ecosystem of Russia. Summarizing, I think Russia should focus on healing the political landscape and introduce some competition between the parties. United Russia is holding a big part of the gos duma and if a new more left leaning player would enter the landscape it would add more choice. Now I should invest some time reading about the politics in Russia and catch up on the recent events. Thanks again for your critique and i would love to hear from you again.

When I was saying about that, is the small but somewhat existent choice of racists and past racists. It is not significant in the bigger picture but at least imposes a view of a politically involved country.
