I think India is torn apart by its own racial and religious problems, not to mention the notorious caste system, but that's story for another chapter In the very least, the Chinese gov, at Mao's time or at Deng's time tried t

For you last paragraph, that's been the Chinese model since Mao. The only substantial difference between the imperial governance and that of the current regime is that the emperor is selected by an albeit small committee, provided the

Obviously the the reason that the CCP is able to do these things is because they HAVE control. Do you think the taxi app, mall app, or a chat app is a threat to their control? Their firewall is notorious. I don't even get it why you bo

I tried to take your comment seriously, but 'tech companies that might take power away' part made me laugh. What do you think those tech companies are? Their most advanced technology is a chat app and an online mall.

The concern I have with China, right now, is that I suspect liberal democracy in China will be in favor of someone like Donald Trump, who will then have the power to turn it into dictatorship and this time 70% of the population will vote in

Social stability IS econimic power in the long term. Any anti-trust enforcement of that sort is beneficial for the overall market, even if the largest business in that sector will suffer. Short term economical metrics really don't and

Last time I checked, plenty people on HN claiming those enterprises are branch of the government `since they operate in China`, which I still do consider to be one of the most ignorant and arrogant comment on Chinese businesses. If governme

America's way behind in government digital services in comparison to Europe and China. It's almost impossible without a meeting. You'd have to make an appointment for anything, even though most of the time all you do is filin

It will be nothing like Normandy besides that there would be a landing. Taiwan is nothing comparable Germany in WWII in so many senses.

I know we do not differentiate China and Chinese most of the time, but in this case, it is problematic since Taiwan is >95% Chinese. Maybe Beijing's invasion of Taipei would be better?

This is amazing concept. It literally transforms remote api into local resource with the aid of graphql.

Well, I guess you know how to spin a story. My point the whole time has been that percentages can be misleading without the actual number presented, still you seemed to be only cares about the percentages. It's quite easy to see that b

It's really wonderful for you to link the dataset here. I think neither of us would have the time to compile the dataset manually. Admittedly and regrettably I didn't check the appendix. So the conclusion was from Xinjiang's

You have a love for fruit, don't you? But that's not apples and oranges, nor are they cherries. That's the most specific data you can find in that report on the actual birth rate. You're more than welcome to share more d

I don't mind to examine the full dataset if they are available. And the report is kind of only 20ish pages, excluding the references and covers. After rereading as you suggested, it also said 'Urumqi is also a Han-majority city ..

Thank you so much. The full report is much more genuine than the abstract from the press. For example, it writes 'in Kashgar prefecture in 2014, the birth-rate soared to nearly 68 children per thousand people' at the same time th

update, in a related voa newspiece, it reads 'For example, in Hotan prefecture, where the Uyghurs make up about 97% of the population, the birthrate was 8.58 per 1,000 people in 2018. Before 2017, it was more than 20 births per 1,000 p

the problem with that report is that I can't find anywhere the exact number, it only states decline by 56.5% without showing any specific numbers. I'm mildly suspicious that they originally had a much higher birth rate than Han Ch

How is the crisis artificial? The amount of agricultural land China needed to sustain its population is totally calculable. the Chinese population grow threefold from 1912 to when the policy was introduced, had it been growing like that, to

On the contrary, I think paralyzed is quite an accurate depiction of the effect of severe depression. Most people still don't consider mental conditions on par with physical conditions, but that's simply not true, those severe men

I'm not saying that and I acknowledge that China and the US fought along the side of the Soviet Union. Though it is funny that you ask others not talk about history while your point seems to be based on that.

Not mean to correct you, but China's still getting wealthier. Xi has generally kept his economy policies along the lines of his predessors, though politically it does seems he is much more conservative and nationalistic.

This is probably not a popular opinion, but less environmental impact is actually more desirable to me than "no violence against animals". As far as I understand it, these sort of "animal protection" slogans only serve t

That shell is all most might need, to go shopping or run any errand in the city. It's much safer than a scooter and carries much more. Obviously you probably shouldn't be driving it in the highway, but how often does that happen?
