Re Asek,
actually, for people moving into Britain, they have to pass a basic English test. I don't think it sounds racist at all.
Re Sandshrewz,
They did try running a desalination plant, but at that time, China simply lowered their water price to lower than what the desalination costed. Then they wrote reports on how it wasn't cost effective or efficient, etc.
after the desalination plant closed, they see that there are no competitors and kept raising the price in monstrous amounts. Really the thing that makes it so hard for competitors is that one side is backed up with politics. China wants us to rely on them, so when we become too rebellious, they can stop giving us water.
Re Shiruba,
Whilst I don't understand why it is rude to speak a different language, the majority of British people somehow do. They say it feels like deliberately excluding someone from the conversation. This is something I probably will not really understand because in Hong Kong, one can hear different languages everywhere. One simply does not expect people to speak one's language. There's English,
Mandarin, the Filipino ones, Muslim countries ones, Japanese, and so on. They are just being blown at you and you simply get used to it.
Heck, I get upset if people tell me not to speak my own language sometimes. It's like, why don't I have the rights to speak mine but you can speak yours?
If someonr tells me to not speak Cantonese inside Hong Kong, I'm going to ignore him/ her. It's not his/ her territory, goodness sake.
(a lot of Mandarin speakers ask why we have to speak Cantonese, in a rude/ diminishing way. )
