Best part of the video: you can hear a cow moo at the 4-second mark [the crew was smuggling a herd at the time]. Context : The crew lands on the backwater colony of Jiangyin to sell their smuggled cows.
While on a break, Inara and Kaylee head over to the souvenir gift shop. Kaylee daydreams about Simon, calling him handsome, just as he is about to walk into the store himself. He usually also has really great, flowing hair I feel like quasi-androgynous guys are more likely to be called shuai. Simon, definitely shuai. Mal, probably not. Wash, sorry, but as awesome as you are, you are likely never to be called shuai.
Conventionally good looks matter more for classifying a guy as shuai; personality less so. Kaylee, sweet innocent thing she is, sounds so adorable cooing out a giddy shuai. But as is, shuai works ok here. With video clips of each scene, notes on word usage, and in-depth over analysis of Malcolm Reynolds's heroic quest to butcher the Chinese language—one curse at a time. We aint experts by no means, so if y'all spot somethin that don't sit right with you, go on 'head and send us a wave or tweet.

Ashterothi Ashterothi Which is strange given how very few Chinese characters people not the writing we see in the TV series. SystemDown perhaps they didn't 'win' by that much? Pureferret - And yet their culture is infused everywhere? I don't buy that. I love the series to bits, but that as well as the sheer number of habitable worlds in one system has always bothered me. System: They terraformed the planets to make them hospitable.
As for why the outer-planets are not frozen, see here — BlueRaja - Danny Pflughoeft. Still, you'd expect that more Chinese would have appeared regardless of the casting switch. Show 2 more comments. My answer comes in several parts: China and the US are the only two countries with the right mixture of high population, high capital and high education to take over half the world.
This sounds like guesswork, not official canon. Do you have any sources for these claims? I concede it's guesswork, applying general political and critical theory to the facts given in the series.
I'm fairly new to Stack Exchange, is this discouraged? The most guessworky parts are only meant to provide a counterpoint to the "there are no Asian actors, thus Whedon is racist" claims, not actually prove anything. Some of this answer is good but "The lack of notable Chinese actors and background extras is illogical and reprehensible" was uncalled for.
