I'm a first-year Ph.D. student major in mechanics. I have an intermediate level of English (TOEFL: 109/120). I love to speak and make friends with amazing people around the world, as long as I have time (most Ph.D. students are very busy!). But I watch LOTS of YouTube and Netflix videos. I also read WSJ quite often. Therefore, we can talk about many things, from Breaking Bad to the US-Iran conflict!
These figures are astounding. I get (by calculation) that, if 50,000 inhabitants owe $60,000,000,000, then the debt per capita is $120,000,000. That is $120 million per person. It's hard to believe it is possible. Great to get my 'dose' of Tongtong again. Glad you are starting your PhD on site!!
Personally, I think that their usage of "promotion" is a euphemism. Their meaning is more "force", as in force a unification. I, of course, know little about the history of China and Taiwan, and yet I feel that two things are necessary in order to have a fair unification: 1. the desire of China 2. the desire of Taiwan. Probably China wants unification, but in order for it to be equitable then the citizens of Taiwan should have a fair and open referendum to establish their desire. If the majority of Taiwanese vote not to unite with China then China should leave the table and abandon the project.
I think this scammer try to use my phone number to scam someone on that dating website.

Scam and harassing on italki
A scammer recently contacted me on this website. This person pretended to be an American but really is a Chinese. This person asks me to chat on Whatsapp, which one can use a phone number to add another person. Then I gave my phone number to this person. Then I received a 4-digital code from a Chinese online dating website zhenai.com. This person asks me to send this code to him/her. I'm not very familiar with Whatsapp, and I thought this is a normal procedure to add people on Whatsapp. I send this code to this person. But I received more codes, and he/she ask me to send these codes. I realized that this person is a scammer! I'm so stupid! He/she my number to an account on zhenai.com
