I do reside (a lot of the time), in GuangZhou, and whilst there is certainly people who are like that, I know a lot who aren't. (Much like any other country). So I have a counter proof that your generalisation is too broad, hence why I

Well sure, technically, blacks aren't a race either, nor are whites or indians... technically we are All "human" but these semantics don't progress the discussion. I agree that right now, given China's recent histor

This feels like a massive over generalisation (given the size of china)... Any kind of evidence of this?

Anecdotal data point: My brother taught pure math in both Australia, and the U.S (in ivy league institutions). His view is that the quality of students in Australia (largely classless given the govt subsidies education so much) is leagues

These are completely different issues (which you are simply conflating by race). The exam mentioned in the article is THE exam. If you fail, that's it for you. You can't re-sit and you can't attend a reputable university.

Please point me to the company BYD Stole from? Or Tencent? Or Alibaba? The "copying" that you seem to be referring to, is no different to "normal business" in the US: Apple open a retail store, Microsoft open a retail st

They don't need to store all the data if they can just compel whoever is storing it to give them access to said data. (Which seems to be what is alleged).

If it only cared about control then why wouldn't it just be doing what North Korea is doing? Why would it be working so hard to improve things? It's not a strawman it's very pertinent. I think you need to read Capital (Marx),

I was under the impression (I could definitely be wrong) that private sales were still occurring despite the constitution. (Government policy, peoples anti-policy?) ;-)

So blacks/whites are in the same boat? Could never be used to say anything racist because multiple ethnicities exist within those categories... riiiiight.

I'm a little skeptical a "revolution" will ever improve things (in the short term). Revolutions are generally costly in almost every way possible. China's growth and prosperity don't seem to justify one (at this p

If that is what they meant, then sure, that is what my other points in my post addressed.

What do you think a viable solution for the tier 1 cities is?

I think that's dependent on what is stored. Sure the link enables them to capture a whole lot of data, but if an agreed standard of 'tracking data' was all that was stored. I think that would be an improvement. EDIT: Simil

> the Chinese do not give 2 shits about pollution and sustainability Are you saying that isn't racial prejudice? I understand you may have a grudge, but how would you describe that?

Oh I'm glad there is now a spokemen for "The Chinese People". Didn't realise you had a single voice, who frequented HN. In all seriousness, some tips: - Stop being racist - go and learn a little bit about Chinese politi

aggregate data of usage is not a breach of privacy, it's only when I have individual data about someone that privacy becomes an issue. Perhaps analytics needs a standard for how they are stored (i.e only store aggregates, not individua

None of those are "from the last few months". And all of them are (pro) western media (less reliable). In addition, it's seems non of them relate to China's intentional avoidance of modern technology in farming...

I don't get it... why does Australia need to store a copy of US secret data? Isn't this why the Defence Industry invented the internet?

I always find New York times articles present a pessimistic if not outright incorrect articles on China. They are pushing some agenda of their own. So is urbanisation a bad idea? (if so, why have ALL developed countries done this?) Or is r

Just from reading the comments here you can get an idea it's more than the NY Times, the assumption of westerners is an assumption, but do you seriously think it's a bad one?

Are you seriously saying they need to have a "cultural revolution"? are you ignorant? or is your humour just really bad taste? What did they steal? Why do Chinese care what western companies think? (They have the biggest market, not us). Wh
