   I don't think there is a decently translated version. You can try Google translate. Its result is probably good enough for understanding the most important bits.

   Found a transcript (in Chinese) if people are interested. Warning: very long text -- 20,000 characters in length. https://m.huxiu.com/article/300415.html

   Good job on picking one sentence in a 150-minute interview to serve an agenda. No wonder people here say "This doesn't make any sense" -- because it doesn't. The actual interview contains a lot more information. For exam

   The title is big but the amount of substance in it is low. Not sure if there is anything new discussed in this short essay.

   Nothing stops them from doing that. On the other hand, candidates don't have to use the same strategy or excuse to gather support.

   There is no point arguing with me -- I'm pretty sure you watch those politics talk shows. Branding all of them as "fake news" is not helpful. If you disagree, you'd better refute me with facts. Tell us what achievements

   I don't think it will be a deciding factor, but it is definitively a positive factor for Guo.

   I have been following Taiwan politics on and off for the past three months since Han Kuo-yu came into power. My observation: 1. Mazu is big in Taiwan. 2. DPP didn't have any political achievement in the past three years. 3. Taiwan has

    Also, DPP's logo is in green and they are often referred to as "Green Party" (while KMT "Blue Party"). Guo obvisouly doesn't agree with DPP's ideology.

    "As I have repeatedly said, we need to decide if we are going to build our future Internet systems for security or surveillance. Either everyone gets to spy, or no one gets to spy. And I believe we must choose security over surveillanc

    I can assure you there are incredibly distinct foods, languages and cultures everywhere in China. People from different provinces consider themselves "people from that particular province". I guess the difference is that they also

    Reminds me of "I'm not really racist, but ...". P.S. The first one is a meme in gaming community -- search the term you will see what it is.

    I just watched the video. I think not a single person who watches the video would believe he was drunk. His answer was loud and clear. And the exchange between him and the conductor showed he's an utter douche. He specifically said he

    There were one or two high profile cases in which the occupiers refused to give way and their behaviour flaunted the rules badly. The conductor or police didn't take action. I'm not sure if they didn't have the power or simpl

    I just want to point out that, as of 2012, there was only 6.5% of the population in China living in poverty according to World Bank. http://www.worldbank.org/en/country/china/overview#3

    Equating "stealing trade secrects" with "打破技术封锁" is disingenuous. And this > you will find there are lots of Chinese nationalist stories about their hero technician / scientists steal western technologies. They a

    200k Yuan is entry-level salary. You can expect 30%-50% rise for a few years if you're really good. Top engineers command silicon valley level salaries, easily. If I ever want to move back to China I can probably negotiate 2x-4x what I

    It is -- that's salary for entry-level engineers / fresh graduates in Tier-1 cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen etc).
