中国的什么东西是你乐意花更多钱购买的？



[–]bradj43 
I would pay 15,000 rmb to be able to have a number and card that works exactly as a Chinese ID card in every way other than having anything to do with my citizenship.
Any time some app or website only has a spot for 身份证, picking up train tickets at the machines (or swiping at the gate), using alipay outside of China, doing anything with telecom companies, etc. I would pay even more if it was good for life.

我愿意支付1.5万元购买具备和中国身份证一样功能的卡片，可以不用成为中国公民。
某些APP和网站只要求身份证，火车站自助购票机也要身份证（或者火车站刷卡也要身份证），在中国之外使用支付宝，做和电信公司相关的事情时也需要身份证。如果是终身的，我愿意支付更多。

When I lived in Japan, they issued you an ID for foreigners.
I liked it because it did just about everything their IDs did and I could leave my passport at home where it belongs.

我住在日本时，他们会给你发一个外国人的身份证卡片。
我很喜欢，因为和日本公民的身份证功能差不多，我可以直接将护照放家里。

Most countries with relatively large foreign populations do. The Party just doesn't want life here to be convenient for foreigners.

大部分拥有大量外国人口的国家都会这么做。但是中国不愿意让在中国的外国人过上方便的生活。

The Party just doesn't want life here to be convenient for foreigners.
To be fair, they do want it, they're just struggling to achieve it. The new FWP is the first stage in the process (though it's not 100% clear why they had to do it in stages and couldn't make it useful already).

公平的说，中国是想让外国人过上方便的生活。新的来华工作许可就是第一步（虽然我也不知道他们为什么要分阶段执行，而且到现在还不能用）

You're talking about a one party state that often boasts about being able to get things done with extreme efficiency and speed (unlike slow, inefficient democratic countries). If the government here really wanted to issue us with ID cards, they could do so easily. Literally all we need is a cheap, plastic card and an ID number. The system for granting work permits is already in place.
The government seems to make announcements every few years that things are going to get simplified/cheaper/quicker/more convenient etc, but all that has happened since I've been here is things have gotten more complicated, time consuming and expensive for everybody involved. The FWP (you mean foreign worker's permit, right?) does absolutely nothing to make life more convenient for people working here.

你现在谈论的是一个经常吹嘘自己能高效快速完成事情的一党国家（不像缓慢低效的民主国家）。如果中国政府真的想给我们分发ID卡，他们肯定能轻而易举的搞定。我们外国人需要的就是一个廉价的塑料卡片还有一串ID号码。中国给外国人颁发工作许可的系统已经存在。
政府貌似每过几年就会发表声明称事情将变得更加简化，更加便宜，更加快速以及更加方便等等，但是自从我来中国以后我发现事情变得更加复杂，更耗费时间，更昂贵了。来华工作许可并没有让外国人的生活变得更加方便。

The FWDs expire. The Chinese IDs don’t. If they are treated equally, they need a way to expire IDs in general but they don’t have such a thing

来华工作许可会过期。中国身份证不会过期。如果公平对待的话，也应该让中国人的身份证过期。

The Chinese IDs do expire too

中国人的身份证也会过期的。
 
[–]kevin_pUnited Kingdom 
The number doesn't change though, it's just the card itself that expires

但是号码不会变，只不过卡片本身过期。

The Chinese IDs don’t.
They literally state on the back how long they're valid for.

中国身份证并不会过期。
一般背面都有注明有效期限。

It’s almost as if the Chinese government considers foreigners to be somehow “less than” Han Chinese.

好像中国认为外国人“次于”汉人。
 
[–]skewwhiffy   
It's almost as if the Chinese government considers only Han to be Chinese.

好像中国政府认为只有汉人才是中国人。

I want this as well, such a pain in the ass without the ID, and now I think the government is cracking down more on bank accounts; seems like they want to kick out foreigners more and more

我也想要那样的身份证，没有身份证真蛋疼，而且政府貌似加大了对银行账户的打击力度；貌似他们想要赶走更多的外国人。

proper toilet plumbing. I hate those stinking shit-paper buckets....
also the ID card someone mentioned would be great, as well as internet and.....

良好的卫生间排污管道。我讨厌那些臭烘烘的厕纸垃圾桶。
还有上面某人提及的ID卡也是，还有因特网等等。。。。

Cheese, Motherfucking cheese
I looked for fucking cheese for so long when I lived in Harbin. Only cheese I ever found was on cheese burgers at Lotteria. They sucked but I ate the shit out of them because they had shitty imitation cheese.

奶酪。我住在哈尔滨时找了奶酪好久。唯一找到的奶酪就是乐天利里的奶酪汉堡里的奶酪。
 
[–]onlysubbedhere
I'm surprised you couldn't find it, we used to come from Daqing to Harbin to pick up tens of pounds of cheese from Metro.. That and hash.

你竟然没找到，我们以前经常从大庆去哈尔滨的麦德龙里购买大量的奶酪。

Plumbing and potable tap water

排污管道以及可引用的自来水。

Unfettered and unmonitored internet access. Actually anywhere, I'd pay more for this.

不受监视和不受约束的网络。

Websites in English. Also an apartment in an area of town where mopeds are banned and the ban is strictly enforced.

英文的网站。还有我所居住的地方，电动车被严厉禁止。
 
[–]dandmcdUnited States
I just want websites that look like they weren't built in 2004.

看起来不像建设于2004年的网站。

ctrip does this and the prices in the english website are higher than than the Chinese website

携程就这么干了，而其英文版文章的价格比中文版的要高。
 
[–]xiefeilaga 
If you look closely, a lot of the prices listed on the Chinese side are for Chinese only (listed as 内宾). Those deals are always cheaper.

如果你仔细看，会发现中文版网站里的好多价格都是只提供给中国人的（有“内宾”字样）。总是更便宜一点。
 
[–]beeeemoUnited States 
I just booked a flight on Ctrip Chinese because I wanted to pay with Wechat and you can't do that on the English website. It was indeed about 200 kuai lower.

我刚刚在携程中文版上订了一个航班，因为我想用微信支付，英文版的无法微信支付。确实便宜了200块。

My previous apartment complex banned electric bikes from parking (also ofos and mobike were not allowed in). That really did make a difference

我之前住的公寓小区禁止电动自行车停泊（也不允许摩拜和OFO进入）。确实很不一样。
