What are the benefits of learning Chinese? We all know that with Japanese you get access to tons of games, anime, manga, movies, novels, music, and other stuff that either isn't translated or takes a long time to get translated. What about Chinese? What are the Chinese equivalents? What games, movies, TV shows, books, comics, animation or websites are worth checking out? What kinds of things are people missing out on if they don't know Chinese? It's the most spoken language in the world, so there must be something for everyone to enjoy.
>>540324315>What are the benefits of learning Chinese?None. They won't be around in 10 years.
>>540324315I don't want to understand chinks, they're all demonic and soulless.
>>540324315>It's the most spoken language in the worldnot including english...outside of china it is the 5th most spoken language.most educated chinks already speak english to some degree, considering it's a mandatory subject in higher education.
>>540324315Probably Chinese Opera if you are into it, although I don't know if that's a different language/form of the language.
China has a great web novel scene. China also has great historical writings, ut you would need to be able to read classical Chinese for that.
>>540325047>China has a great web novel sceneHow so?
>>540324315>What are the benefits of learning Chinese?Chinese is the language of the economy, but unless you need to negotiate bulk goods prices with small factory owners its going to be useless for you outside of entertainment media.
>>540324315objectively, chinese is not a useful language unless you have a particular obsession with china. translation software is good enough these days, and chinese is notoriously difficult to learn.really the only reason to learn it is for the challenge, in which case there are better uses for your time.
>>540324315The absolutely black pill is that there is no Chinese pop-culture in terms of scale. They barely start to make movies in the 2020's, like Ne Zha. China has zero soft power. The only benefit is to move to China. Maybe(most likely) in 20-30 years the situation will change.
>>540325602Do Americans learn Chinese?
>>540324370Holy fucking delusional
>>540325653Filtered
>>540325887There are thousands of not tens of thousands of good movies. Decades of music of any genre you could imagine. Video games are the only thing that are relatively recent. Just because you're too stupid to find them, doesn't mean they don't exist
>>540324315>Japanese>games, anime, manga, movies, novels, musicYou should check /vg/
>>540324315learn traditional if you want to. Who cares about talking to modern Chinese. Non CCP, traditional characters like Taiwan uses carry deep meaning and reading non-CCP Chinese texts from before and after you can find some very good spiritual things. I started many years ago when I started practicing Falun Gong. There was a lot of immediate energy things that developed, so I wanted to read the original texts to make sure I wasn't missing. No regrets, but it is harder to learn when it isn't conversational gossipy trash talk because you are practicing with yourself most of the time.
>>540326496>You should check /vg/What's there?
>>540327174>Unironic falun gong posting WHEW
>>540325481Don't let that burger trick you into reading Chinese yaoi.
>>540324315>What are the benefits of learning Chinese? We all know that with Japanese you get access to tons of games, anime, manga, movies, novels, music, and other stuff that either isn't translated or takes a long time to get translated.China is already creating their own version of anime, some are dumb but others have good critics.You main benefit is that as America is being displaced form the tech world the world is turning to china for technology, in that regard if you work in tech mandarin proficiency could be an advantage.
>>540326484It's very niche, incomparable even with Japan and Korea, let aside the Anglo culture.
>>540329316You're exposure to it, yes. Because the Chinese don't want western influence and likewise don't care at all about appealing to a western audience. Again, just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. If you didn't know already, the Great Firewall isn't to keep them in, its to keep people like you out
>>540329316The burger is right, China has a lot of high quality cultural content that does not arrive to the west, from war movies to even romantic commedies, quality is certainly better than hollywood woke slop.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNJooWEKCEQThe problem is propaganda, when western goverments keep funding propaganda against china you come to believe that they are a backwards people who do cheap electronics and steal tech.Why cant we have a global brotherhood of nations? I dont want Global Homogenization nor America as the only cultural hegemon.
>>540329644> its to keep people like you outWhich is not very smart, considering that sooner or later China would be need a reason to forcefully reopen countries that's would fell to communism/nazism other kind of isolationism and protectionism.
>>540324315I've studied japanese (JLPT N2) and mandarin some tooI see absolutely no reason to touch chinese again as it's ugly and there are no media of interest they produce.
>>540329759>Why cant we have a global brotherhood of nationsIt's only can by imitated, like political correctness. I dont want Global Homogenization nor America as the only cultural hegemon.I don't want it too, but again, the status quo is impossible. That's like two massive objects in the universe, sooner or later they or attract each other or lost forever, they can't have stable orbit toward each other for trillion years.
>>540324370Go to bed, Zeihan
>>540330009Stupid nigger, China has been a proper civilization since before you slav-monkeys crawled out of a cave lmao they don't need anybody
>>540324315YELLOW PERIL FUCK CHYNA FUCK CHINKS
>>540324315Practically zero. Chinese sounds fucking ugly.
>>540331930>China has been a proper civilizationThey can shift back in time and become North Korea again, if you considering that as an example of "proper self reliant civilization". But they wouldn't, globalism gave them the power to take the world, only the fools would pass. > they don't need anybodyNo, they need everybody, it's where they generate the money. >you slav-monkeys crawled out of a cavenigga you was living in the next cave back then.
>>540331930lmaochina is almost 50 years old.nigga they only finalized the "List of Commonly Used Standard Chinese Characters", essentially their dictionary, in 2013.
>>540332539>nigga they only finalized the "List of Commonly Used Standard Chinese Characters", essentially their dictionary, in 2013.So? Languages constantly evolve and can never be "finalized".
>>540332437> Become nk againStupid hohol, china is thousands of years old. The burger is right, they're were a civilization before any of us could build anything. This includes eurofags like you.
>>540324315Smoke enough weed and you'll speak some ching chong>https://youtu.be/D6HsQ5NLVx8?is=XnomJuoC-I-pbeUG
>>540324315https://youtu.be/HwqjZ84gD_c
>>540332539It takes like 2 weeks of learning grammar and some archaic characters but anybody that speaks Chinese could read ancient Chinese texts no problem. It's been largely unchanged for like 3000 years. Fucking retard gets all his information off of 4chan shill memes
>>540325653This gave me the courage to give up before I even tried, thanks
>Chinesei am currently trying to read a cyberpunk lesbo vn. Emphasis on trying.
NIGGAI DIED IN A WELL AFTER 7 DAYSSMASHOR PASS?
>>540324315Just so you know. If you want to study classic chinese literature, it's an entirely different language.Even I can't read them.
>>540332657Iraq and Egypt has uninterrupted urban history since 3000 BC. China only since 1600 BC (the Shang Dynasty, first writing system, oracle bones). The history before industrialization mean nothing.
>>540332648most languages evolve over time.the swap from traditional to simp chinese was a massive mess of an overhaul. even now they are trying to force beijingese on all chinks, and there's still only a 92% adoption.for such a massive population as china that's more than 100m chinese people.their claim to that millenia of history died with the destruction of confucius' tomb.
>>540324370>None. They won't be around in 10 years.you mean 2 weeks surely.
>>540332862I can fix her
>>540332967>the swap from traditional to simp chinese was a massive mess of an overhaul.This is just ignorant beyond all belief. Unless you mean increasing literacy rates by like 80% is a "massive mess".Are you a victim of falun gong propaganda or do you just have no idea what you're talking about?
>>540332933And your point is?
>>540332967>>540333095Oh my bad I just double checked. Completely eradicated illiteracy. Yeah what a "massive mess". Dumbass redditor sounding nigga
>>540333097My point is that Chinese civilization before 1800 was inferior towards Europe. And after 1979 it slowly become superior.
>>540333280Go read one single book about the Tang dynasty. What an ignorant post holy shit just stop dude
I can ting dong a decent amount of zhong wen, but when it comes to hui shuo wo bu haoIve been thinking though, a white chud like me if I git gud at my Chinese, I could probably join the CIA and go to Asia and do stuff
>>540333280That's actually the other way around.The Chinese are just climbing back to their original state, that's why they mention the century of humiliation.China always kicked ass my dude. They were always a significant civilization / economic powerhouse that got messed up in the 19th hundreds. Monarchy collapsed and they have a couple of decades of instability, then the retarded commies came in and took them long enough to realize this crap doesn't work, so they refashioned it.
>>540330995>>540332971like clockwork lol
>>540324315Makes buying shit from china real easy. Just message anyone and you'll get what you're after.
>>540332967Always the bong flags with the most retarded and butthurt comments as if trying to drag others down will return your empire to you.
>>540333674i love that screenshot along with this one. back from when /pol/ wasn't a chink wumao colony.
>>540324315There are like 15 different "Chinese language"s
>>540333391>the Tang dynasty. It was 500-900 CE, we talking about modern time. Yes, China had invented the powder, the compass and the paper. I know. But somehow it didn't help to start the industrial revolution
>>540333776I don't think history begins with the industrial revolution.
>>540326392>>540326430>>540326484>>540328790>>540329644>>540331930>>540332701>>540333095>>540333256>>540333391i used to think the weaboos were cringe, but now i kinda miss them. much better than these militant wumao clowns.
Ching chong ping pong.
>>540333776You're not making a coherent point. You just don't know anything about Chinese history. 1850-1950 was absolutely an anomaly. For thousands of years China has been the single most powerful actor in Asia and it's not even close.
Poland is ahead of us
>>540334016Cry more. I kinda miss when we didn't have memeflag niggers shitting up every thread on the board
>>540333885Not the history, but the economic power. I mean that, when made my prognosis toward China's future.
>>540334354Chyna177
chinese cultah numbah waaaaaan that's why nobody talks about their movies long after release despite making a billy and some in box office sales
>>540333713good one.why is china still an undeveloped country?
>>540333768And they all nowadays understand a "common tongue" form of Mandarin / Zhongwen aka Putonghua
>>540324315>What are the benefits of learning ChineseSincerely, none. Most chink zoomers can't even write something coherent in their own language (being fair, though, neither can most Western zoomers), and plus European minds don't think in scribbles and chinks are basically subhumans anyways, imo.
>>540334096>For thousands of years China has been the single most powerful actor in Asia and it's not even closeAbsolutely true, the Middle(central) Kingdom. But in the East and South-East Asia, not in the world in general. >1850-1950 was absolutely an anomalyHow is that 'anomaly' had suddenly happened? Qing was in stable charge for 150 years and then boom and the century of humiliation begin?Or maybe China was too weak in terms of productivity because of the bad national politics?
>>540324815Nice catch.
>>540334662The US congress actually passed a bill saying China is not a developing country.https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/1107Meanwhile, Trump recently singled out China in a memo to U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, saying that “the United States has never accepted China’s claim to developing-country status and virtually every current economic indicator belies China’s claim."
>>540334971One of the statistics they cited is that China's electricity generation per capita has surpassed the EU and the UK. And their GDP is 3x larger than India's and Africa combined.
>>540335046They also said that China under reports its GDP to get WTO benefits for as long as possible as China never properly transitioned from its Soviet-era Material Product System (MPS) system of national accounts to the United Nations’ System of National Accounts (SNA) standard, where MPS accounting is only concerned with material production and services are considered costs of production and excluded by design, i.e if Soviet standards were followed by the US national accounts, it would yield a "net material product" of perhaps about 5-6 trillion dollars, over 80% lower than their official GDP.
>>540334971
>>540335205Yup, they're gaming the system. Remember, South Korea claimed develping nation status until 2019. Singapore, the country with the lowest child mortality and Qatar, the country with one of the highest gdp per capita, also has developing nation status as categorized by the WTO. The WTO actually relies on members to self-declare their developing country status which then gets them special treatment.
>>540335166Do you not understand what that says? Just like the other anon said, it's just a label they have in order to get beneficial treatment in the WTO. It is not a literal description of China's material living conditions or technological advancement
>>540325602The Chinese secretary responsible for receiving orders on Alibaba already knows English quite well. Learning Chinese is a waste of time
Uhhhhh... If you want to filmograph animal crush pornography, this seems like one of the best countries to do it?
>>540335323Which is something that Trump has rightly criticized China for so they don't get special WTO treatments.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYry1G7_VKU
This thread is for shills to fill their engagement quotas. Not one has ever watched bilibili here, it seems.
>>540335625Yeah fair enough. Just not sure why that britoid thinks it's some dunk on China
>>540334128you must be new then
>>540324370Delusional but also correct on the first part. You wont get any deals because youre not Chinese. If anything they will fuck you over more because you thought you could be a traitor.
>>540335700Imagine being such memeflag nigger that you have an entire cope essay saved and ready to go
>>540324315Don't.
>>540335793cry more wumao
>>540336044>Wumao derangement syndrome
>>540336382>noOoooOOOOoooo!!!!! you can't just be on this racist board and hate chinks!!!!!>you just can't do it, okay? reeeeeeeeeeeeeeget real, nigger. 5 years ago you would have been bullied off this board for being a faggot shitskin lover
>>540324315You can start a youtube channel translating CCP slopaganda.
>>540324315Chyna is the future. If you want financial stability, learn it. If you want to jerk off to hentai raw but no other benefits, then Japanese. Keep in mind that for Romance language speakers, Japanese is harder to learn than Chinese.
>>540324315If you're starting a business, you can fly to China to test the equipment before buying, Chinese customer service is actually pretty decent and they make decent machinery.
>>540336784>Cries the memeflag Lol okay ranjeesh
>>540337824uh oh looks like your little hissy fit cope was all for nothing. now what? gonna call me a jew?
>>540332725
>>540324370Neither will the USA.
>>540324315I own this. Scarce 1st.
>>540324315Took Mandarin in college. The only thing I remember from that class is the professor standing in front of me saying shi, as I replied shi, and him responding, no shi, shi, no shi, shi, no shi, shi, no shi, shi, listen to me shi, shi, no shi
>>540324315There's actually an increasing amount of porn animations on sites like Iwara coming out from Chinese animators. And a fair number of them have Chinese dialogue.Although the Chinese make a lot of NTR, so maybe that's not a plus.
>>540324315>What are the Chinese equivalents? What games, movies, TV shows, books, comics, animation or websites are worth checking out?I don't know about their video games since they are never translated,but this series is really goodhttps://animekhor.org/guan-yi-zhan-cangqiong-episode-1-subtitles-english-indonesian/3 eps so far.
>>540338998What is it about?
>>540324815> 5th most spoken language> sort by second language
>>540339838The author asks a question at the beginning of the episode,And you have his answer at the end of the episode.It would be spoiler to say, but it's really good.I guess, if I had to give an answer without spoinging, the first episode is about mountain climbing.Climbing out from that sinkhole you see in that pic.
>>540324315China's economy is deteriorating year by year, and the country will face a crisis regarding its political system in the 2030s.If you are going to study Chinese, you should wait until 2040.
China is a country where a dictator emerges every sixty years and destroys the nation.That is how we Japanese view China.
>>540334914Haha you really got a severe head wound at the front eh
>>540340795>dictator emerges every sixty years and destroys the nationThe plan isn't going very smooth.
>>540324315Ya serias menos de un indigena analfabeta pero se te queda lo jincho/prieto y no ganas dinero
