What Factors are Contributing to the Loss of Business for China in Apparel and Textile Sourcing?

There are several factors contributing to the loss of business for China in apparel and sourcing textile materials, including

Tariffs and trade wars: The tariffs imposed by the United States and other countries have significantly impacted China’s apparel and textile businesses. The tariffs have made Chinese exports more expensive, reducing the competitiveness of Chinese products in the global market.

Labor costs: The labor costs in China have been increasing, making it less attractive for international buyers to source from China. Additionally, the lack of labor mobility in China has made it difficult for businesses to access workers.

Environmental regulations: The stricter environmental regulations in China have made it more expensive for textile and apparel businesses. In order to operate in the country, leading some companies consider alternative sourcing options.

Intellectual property concerns: Some companies have been concerned about the protection of their intellectual property in China. Therefore, it leads to a reduction in the number of businesses sourcing from the country.

Political instability: The ongoing political tensions between China and other countries have made some companies hesitant to source from China. Due to concerns about supply chain disruptions.

These factors have contributed to a decline in the competitiveness of China’s apparel and sourcing textile materials business. Consequently, it leads to a loss of business for the country in this sector.

Saw the director of Addicted Heroin Thailand had posted this on his Facebook account:

This man looked at the show that was the tipping point of the first big anti-gay censorship wave in China in the 2010s, and decided to remake it and intentionally self-censor, just to see if he could attract the "Chinese BL is superior because it doesn't rely on kisses or NC scenes to show the emotions" audience to Thai BL?

I am so mad about this.

Hetalia characters with dishes typical for their country - part 1 (part 2 here)

Italy: Maritozzo (cream bread) -> This Roman milk bread is said to be dated back to times of Ancient Rome. The baked good is filled with generous amounts of whipped cream and somtimes decorated with fruit or pistachio. Young man also used it in courtship by hiding jewellery or a ring in the filling.

Germany: Breze(l) mit Schokolade (chocolate dipped pretzel) -> A baked pastry with sweet or salty toppings, best known for its distinctive symetrical, knotted shape. Dipped in chocolate the soft pretzel is a popular snack at funfairs and markets, but there are also small, crispy pretzels that are to be eaten like crisps/chips.

Japan: 和菓子 (wagashi; plant based sweet) -> Originally meaning "Japanese confectionery" the term now refers to a traditional dessert made from plant based ingredients. It's artful shapes are influenced by season, nature, or even poetry.

France: Quiche Lorraine -> A savoury tarte traditionally made with a filling of eggs, heavy cream, ham, and bacon. Today cheese is often added, though it is controversial among professionals. (In the drawing there seems to be leek added too which is not mentioned in the original recipe either.)

England: Scotch Egg -> Supposedly inspired by the Indian nargisi koftas, this dish consists of a hard-boiled or soft-boiled egg wrapped in pork (sausage meat) which is coated in breadcrumbs and then baked or deep-fried. Often served in pubs and a popular cold snack as well.

America: Hamburger -> A popular fastfood consisting of a patty (traditionally made from ground beef) between two halfs of a sliced bun. There are countless variations made with all kinds of additional ingredients and condiments, including expensive high-end versions with edible goldflakes.

Russia: пирожки́ (Pirozhki; stuffed bread) -> This popular street food is a baked good made from yeast-dough is typically boat-shaped and filled sweet or savory with meat, vegetables, fruit, jam or tvorog (an Eastern European fermented milk product with a consistency similar to curd cheese)

China: 小籠包 / 小笼包 (Xiaolongbao; steamed bun) -> Steamed dumplings made from leavened or unleavened dough traditionally filled with minced pork, traditionally eaten for breakfast. The top of the dumpling is closed by folding and pinching it. Authentical dumplings have at least 14 folds, preferably 18.

why did i just see a noahpinion tweet with 30k likes try to claim the chinese social credit system was a thing. i thought we were done with this

All in favor of pointing and laughing at Noah (☝️🤣) but tbh not a fan of how "social credit isn't a thing at all" has become the standard talking point among anglo pro-china people bc. It is a thing. The reason these takes are ridiculous is bc they're acting like it's targeted towards individuals & some black mirror individual scoring system shit that controls the lives of individuals, when in reality it 1) does actually exist 2) is primarily targeted towards businesses (hence why "man on the street" interviews with people tend to show normal ppl in China don't really know about it) & 3) is actually cool and good

Closely connected to the act of name signing was the act of writing poems on walls. As scholars have already pointed out, with beginnings traceable to the Six Dynasties, wall poems (tibishi) were already very widespread during the Tang. By Christopher Nugent's count, well over one thousand entries in the Complete Tang Poems had titles indicating that they began as inscriptions on some surface other than paper or scrolls. These surfaces included walls at places of gathering and transit, such as post stations, scenic sites, inns, and increasingly in the latter part of the Tang, Buddhist temples, which also served public roles for lay gatherings and performances. (100)

In one anecdote, a latecomer casts aspersions on a first writer's literary skills, comparing him to the general Xiang Yu (232-202 BCE), who was infamous for having learned just enough writing to manage his name: "Li Tang signed his name on a pavilion in Zhaoying County. When Wei Zhan [jinshi degree 865] saw it, he took a brush and dashed off a taunt: 'The rivers of Wei and Qin brighten the eyes, / but why is Xiren short on poetic spirit? / Perhaps he mastered only what Beauty Yu's husband could / learning to write just enough to put down his name.' " ... It would not be a stretch to imagine the sniggering of those who read this inscription in a frequented pavilion. (102)

For a degree seeker in Chang'an, these circuits of information and judgment received more discussion than the actual examination itself. Tang literati wrote copiously about activities such as name signing, public exposure, and triumph. It would not be an exaggeration to say that in ninth-century temples and popular recreation areas, the vertical spaces were teeming with verses that clamored for attention. (104)

Flash Family Reunion 4

Wally: Okay, guys! We need to figure out who reverse-engineered Brainiac's tech to take over the world!

Wallace: It was Bart.

Wally: Huh?

Avery: After Max came back to life again, he decided to brainwash everyone in the world so no one would hurt him ever again.

Wally: How do you know this?

Jay: He told us.

Wally: Wha-?! Well, why didn't you stop him?!

Jay: Because, it's Bart. He's really cute!

Avery: (chuckles) Yeah, you should've heard him! He was all like; (impersonating Impulse) "All resistance is futile!"

Wallace: (impersonating Impulse) "Those who stray from the path will be corrected!"

Jay: (impersonating Impulse) "Today, a safer Central City! Tomorrow, a safer world!"

Wally: Are you crazy?! How could you not see that he was dangerous?! Actually, now that I think about it, that must've been adorable.

Flashfam: D'aaaaaw.

Wally: Okay, let's take that cutie-patootie down!

Monkey Cop rant

I find the cannon existence of Monkey Cop in LMK so funny because Sun Wukong was the most anti-establishment, ACAB, F the police, anti-government guy before the police were even a thing in China. He’s literally the opposite of a cop, a well known criminal who’s anti-discrimination.

and yet in a way it fits. Because monkey cop isn’t Sun Wukong it’s what most mortals thought the elusive Monkey King was like. MK thought Monkey King was this cool super hero who beat up bad guys, always saved the day, and did no wrong despite his cheeky rebellious demeanor. And this is partly because he hasn’t read journey to the west but partly because of how people in power will often change a myth to fit their ideals.

The many iterations of Nezha come to mind, mainly the ones that interpret Nezha giving his body to his parents as the ultimate act of filial piety when more likely it was originally a way of cutting ties (think giving back a birthday gift) based on how Nezha later gets in a huge fight with his father and tries to kill him. The story was changed to fit the moral of filial piety and Confucianism. Nezha is willing to give everything to his parents including his own body, so should you. Monkey King is a cop and he’s super cool and respectable, cops are super cool, respect cops.

Or I’m reading to far into this and the LMK crew just wanted a stupid action movie series for Sun Wukong.

the experience of writing fic for svsss has been absolutely insane so far. I posted a fic less than 24 hours ago and it already has twenty comments. I have been in so many fandoms where you have to BEG to get comments, where you'd be lucky to get more than ten comments and the ratio between hits and kudos/comments/bookmarks was vast, but so far the scum villain fandom has been super responsive! The hits/kudos/comments/bookmarks ratios have been super tight, even on my fics which have all been oneshots under 10k!

And it's not just me! I regularly see fanart for svsss fics, which was a rare sight in a lot of other fandoms I've been in. People reblog minifics that get posts to tumblr and leave tags and replies on them. I've written for a lot of fandoms in my time, and this a shocking amount of fic engagement compared to many other fandoms I've been in!!

I can't help but wonder if it's because of the nature of scum villain itself? Other people have talked about how the story uniquely appeals to writers, and it ultimately is about the relationship between a writer and reader, especially in a fan space. I can't help but wonder if the combination of this being a fandom with a high density of writers and it being a story about engaging with writing encourages a fandom culture that is super engaged with fanfiction!
