At the start of the month, the ranking had already dropped to the forties. That wasn't scientific.
So I was working hard to add more updates.
The <Regulations on the Administration of Permanent Residence for Foreigners> had been quite a hot topic lately. Since I'd been busy writing, I hadn't examined it closely, but as a cultural worker, Feng Xiao had one question: why were there no provisions protecting native civilization?
They were foreigners. They only had the right of residence; they should not have the right to freely spread their culture.
Native civilization concerned cultural inheritance, national cohesion, and self-confidence. This was our nation; protecting it was naturally correct in legal principle. It was Bacon forging the soul, and it concerned the great rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation.
I really wanted foreigners to take the legendary Xia Nation Language Level 10 exam. I wasn't joking—some countries had official language tests. That's right, not just for studying abroad, but for permanent residence.
Foreigners absolutely, absolutely had to respect our culture. That was an inviolable bottom line.
If a guest didn't respect the host, then he was an unwelcome guest.
Unfortunately, that bottom line wasn't reflected. I couldn't leave a comment on that draft, so I'd say a few words here in the author's note.
If any readers wore watches, please help pass this along.
Lastly, the usual plea for monthly votes.
