What does the survey say about domestic violence in China?
Topic3 Mainland tourists prefer Taiwan over Hong Kong?
An article published on The Wall Street Journal says that as Hong Kong begins to lose its appeal for some mainland tourists, Taiwan is rising in the ranks.
According to Taiwan's Tourism Bureau, the number of mainland tourists visiting the island over this month's Labor 1 Day weekend holiday rose 33% on-year to nearly 32,000, while Hong Kong saw a 2% decrease to 388,070 visitors, the first drop in nine years.
Is HK losing popularity among mainland travellers while Taiwan is gaining popularity?
Topic4 "Rice theory" explains north-south China cultural differencesA study published last Friday by a group of psychologists in the journal Science finds that China's noodle-slurping northerners are more individualistic, show more "analytic 2 thought" and divorce more frequently.
By contrast, rice-eating southerners show more hallmarks traditionally associated with East Asian culture, including more "holistic 3 thought" and lower divorce rates.
Is there a character difference within China?
