News flash, cultures change when they merge. Not that I'm defending a chain restaurant, but I know that, for example, British Indian food is very different from food eaten in India, but that's okay. Much of it was invented in Britain by the (then) immigrant Indian population and they're pretty proud of it. Similarly, Chinese food the world over is adapted to the local availability of ingredients and palate preferences. You don't have to like it, but it happened for a reason and that reason isn't always describable in terms of cultural pollution.

Also, fortune cookies, whilst indeed not Chinese, are probably Japanese in origin, but popularised by immigrant communities in America, not the 'native' community. In this way they are an authentic cultural element of former immigrant communities in the US.

PF Changs: At least you guys try a bit hardder than Panda express.

Liaoning: The name of China's first aircraft carrier and a province that is near and specializes with trade towards NORTH KOREA. Unfortunately this is one of the few "Historically letharigic " parts of China. They do not have much of any culture just some good local noodle recipes and maybe some fried rice. But I guess there a few aspects left from japanese korea (This place was first invaded in a huge chunk of land once called Manchuria)

Ah Hong Kong. Another Asian Tiget. Alright gather around for a story.

Hong Kong was just like any other fishing village with people working hard wearing straw conical hats. But then the Brits came and sae Hong Kng as a strategic base for them to potentially monopolize the Middle East-India-China trade. So one war later (Called the Opium wars), Britain got Hong Kong not after getting the Chinese hooked on Opium. Immediately Hong Kong got built into a relevant port overnight. Of course due to its Southern Chinese location it was influenced by dialects, predominately Cantonese. Of course you associate Cantonese food with Wanton noodles, shark fin soup and dim sum (So glorious that you would be glad that the country with the world's most complicated language ha even more complicated dialects). Unlike most British colnies, it was mostly grateful for the democracy and technologies the West (But not the racism, obviously). Plus it was leaning more west tha east, so naationalism didn't do much except for a few riots and locals only political parties. After for so long in 1997, Hong Kong was handed to China for 99 years. Seen as a gigantic jewel of Capitalism, China gave Hong Kong UN representation and an autonomous government (Though now in risk as Chinese Political Dissidents in Hong Kong mysteriously). Hong Kong is famous for its night markets, variety of Cheap, Decently priced and expensive food options, quality suits at prices that will make you look like a boss without burning a hole in your pocket, Jade jewellery, world famous auction houses and great boxing clubs.

But there is a few bad things. Property prices there are mad. Majority of poor people live in 6 foot cages, a room barely big enough to fit a set of bunk beds, a cabinet and a 16 inch box tv, its hard to get a government apartment and if you get one it is about 100-200 square metres. Plus the government isn't really democratic (Beijing plucks out the Non-Pro Beijing canidates). Police brutality is 69/10 brutal (I felt it while protesting for rights there during the peak of the umbrella movement cause sold them their custom-ordered umbrellas). Chinese Ministry of Social Services goons can grab you in any moment.Do not forgot a
about the Chinese Triads (500,000 members. 100+ Countries, USD 50000000000 a year, different factions inside it, the World's largest criminal empire). If you are white or just a non- chinese looking foreigner, you might be called gweilio (Foreign devil in Cantonese). Be careful and have fun while tread carefully

What's with the one-word posts without question marks that apparently are meant to be questions?

(I'm genuinely confused)

Why does this matter?

In several countries such as Indonesia, one's socioeconomic background must be checked. Can they afford said transplant? Is the transplant covered in their insurance or their health privilege?

We can't just give free things to everyone, we can't prescript medicine that cost over $500 dollars per piece to someone who has about 7 mouths to feed and works as a lowly peddler. We need to match it based on their income.

I know, some countries provide totally free healthcare, but most of us don't, or are striving towards it. Indonesia uses the Universal Health Insurance Coverage, citizens could choose their type of insurance class based on how much they're willing to subscribe per year (Class 1, 2, 3). Some of the services aren't covered in the insurance as well, and it also depends on the type of hospital, wether they have the facilities for it or not.

I know several countries have such systems as well, or similar. Medisave, Philhealth... but I'm currently focused on the systems behind the borders.

If you'd like to know more about our healthcare system, you can check this source, it's one that I found in English: http://aiphss.org/health-insurance-natio...-a-glance/

I told you there aren't any wrong answers, because this is an ethical question. There are many considerations one would need to have. For reference, I'd check the Medical Ethics Manual from the World Medical Association, 3rd edition on 2015. Anything about Bioethics would suffice as well.

Let's see another question. I'm having trouble with this ethical question as well. I wanna see how well you fare hotshot.

Do you think the State (NHS, BPJS, Medisave, PhilHealth, UCS, assurance-maladie Canada, AIHW) should fund treatment for smokers that refuse to stop?
