  1. Elementary, because all cultures are equal.

    Also, possibly because of global warming.

    1. Notice how the article shifted the blame from Buddhist superstition … to that of The “Western superstition” of throwing coins into a fountain. No evidence was given for this leap whatsoever. What a joke. The assault on Western civilization has really jumped the shark.

    1. Very good luck, I’d say.

      Another bit of multicultural lunacy:

      “As the University of British Columbia prepares to give final approval to a hospice on campus, residents of a high-rise tower next to the site of the planned facility insist it should go elsewhere.

      The group, consisting primarily of recent Asian immigrants, says UBC has ignored their concerns and cultural beliefs, including their fear that living next door to people who are dying would bring negative energy to the community.”

  4. I believe this particular Chinese ritual is supposed to bring someone prosperity.

    If you throw the coins in the engine of the plane your competitors are about to board, that is.

  5. I have a lot of trouble believing this story. I haven’t travelled across mainland China, however I was in Hong Kong via the International Airport twice. Major airports do not allow passengers on the tarmac or observation decks. How would you get close enough to toss a coin into the engines?? My guess is that airport security would be quick to react to such an idiotic act. And in China, that is most likely punishable by death! I call Fake News!!

  6. I find that 3/4″ x 3-1/2″ Grade 8 bolts bring the greatest luck!

    Ever been to the San Jose CA airport? They had NO jetways last time I flew in there.

    1. *No I haven’t. I hear they’re still waiting for the ”Big One” to hit!! No, not Donald Trump, but the earthquake that will send California to the depths of hell.

      As for the bolts, if they have ”Cat” or ”JD” stamped on the head, you get double luck.

      *Enjoy the song!!

  8. Because their kids work in the PRC aircraft parts industry and it’s to bring “luck” that foreign air carriers may buy more parts.

  9. Could this be another Chinese oddity that can be traced back to small penises?

    1. I have to share this story. And that’s why I don’t believe anyone in China would be brave enough to throw coins inside a jet engine.

      I was headed for Australia on Kathy Pacific Airlines. I had a layover in Hong Kong. Before I boarded the plane, I decided to shave before enjoying some of the best Chinese food I’ve ever tasted. They have ultra clean washrooms as compared to many North American airports. They even had a valet to bring us towels etc. From one of the the washrooms, I could see the reflection of a flash from a phone or a camera, several times over. I saw the valet pick up a wall phone, but I thought nothing of it. About a minute later, I saw two guards walk in, armed to the teeth and wearing mercenary type uniforms, beret and all. One guard tapped on the door with a billy stick, and gave out an order in Chinese. They opened the door and walked out of that washroom so fast they were leaving a smoke trail.
      That’s why I doubt that it would be not be wise to throw coins at an aircraft engine in China.
      Take a peek at the airport security in Hong Kong. Nobody argues with a Heckler and Koch MP-5.

  10. My question is why are non-whites even allowed to fly on aircraft? White people invented flight, and white people invented aircraft and so therefore non-whites flying on aircraft are culturally appropriating the inventions of the white man. And since all I ever hear from the left is the evil of Whites appropriating other races culture it stands to reason using the left’s logic that non whites shouldn’t go near airplanes

  11. go to hong kong for a BIG helping of superstition.
    I was in a high rise office tower that had no . . . . .
    -floor with a ‘4’ in it.
    -13th floor
    -wtfever else.
    I wish I had taken a pic of it. priceless.
    and built by some chirese billionaire buddhist.

    not to mention the HUGE serge in marriage licenses on the 8th day of the 8th month in 1988.
    and the million dollars pd by another chirese billionaire for the Cdn bill serial number all 8s.

    and, AND it’s the chirese billionaires responsible for the market in rhino horn which will drive THAT wonderful beast to extinction in another oh, 20-30 years tops.

    but, the petite patate ADORES their ‘basic dictatorship*

    1. The 4 thing almost makes sense. The number 4 sounds the same as “death”, so it weirds people out to say they’re going to “death floor”, even when they know they’re not.

      The missing 13th floor is very common in the west. I live in a building without one.

  12. And these people think they have a mandate from heaven to rule the world. Never mind that they haven’t had a new idea in thousands of years. (They only invented fireworks by mistake.) Even the coin-throwing is borrowed from us.

    If China conquers the west, it will be because our own masters let them do it. Not because China ever stood a chance against the west in a fair fight.

    (Japan stole western technology far more efficiently than China did, and they had little trouble conquering China with a fraction of its manpower.)

  13. I wish Turdeau would admire their basic superstitions with his campaign plane….

  14. Why do Chinese people throw coins in engines?

    Because the coins make a *chink chink* when they go in.
    *ahem*

  15. A friend who lives and works in China describes them as the least religious and yet the most superstitious people he has ever met.
