Contempt (insult?) of cops should be legal.

Personal opinion. (It’s illegal in Taiwan)

Lol. Reminds me of a joke: If you go to Hong Kong and say 谁拆楼, is shoulds similar to 死差佬 (in Cantonese).

Chinese is good at making names short, but terrible at making names extremely short.

My name is ■■■, and its funny how knowing the number of characters does not deanonymize me an any way, almost everyone has 3 character names, its so standarized.

Except like those rare 2 character names, in which case society just deems you weird (not really, but I personally always notice the 2 character names more, but yes, you could technically make your name shorter. Or if you have 4 characters, people are gonna think you’re a Japanese (because last name having 2 characters is a very Japanese thing).

So if you go to a western country and have to use the Pinyin as your name, its usually gonna be 2-5 letters for last name, 4-10 letters for the given name, not too long, not too short, just perfect. You could say Chinese names are the perfect names, 3 characters, 3 4 三四 生死 life-death, 4 is death, 3 is life. So your name is kinda symbolically representing life. (Not sure if this is intended or I’m just attibuting meaning to coincidences)

But also: Names like 曹操 (Cao Cao) has a very short Pinyin name, if you are lucky enough to get these short names (or I guess you could change it, couldn’t you?)

(Also how does a Taiwanese get their name romanized? Taiwan doesn’t use Pinyin… 🤔)
