First of all, there is no federal Chinese government, it is called the Central Government of China. There is no federation any time during China's history - the central government controls everything in every province, the power of any

no more from the tier-1 cities. go to internet forums with good number of residents from Shanghai/Beijing, see how many posts are still about their shopping experience in HK. 10 years ago, I'd be seeing a couple each day on the fr

thanks for confirming that HK is not a good place to start a high tech company. I totally agree with that.

sadly, the exact system was introduced into China before the handover, the broken system is not just screwing HK but a huge chunk of China including all major cities.

Calling Taiwan a democracy is like labelling the Culture Revolution a democratic movement. When elderly Chinese who actually experienced the terrible Culture Revolution go to visit Taiwan, many of them had the feeling that Taiwan make them

This is funny given the fact that in HK what school you go to largely depends on how much money your parents have (buy bonds issued by schools) and what is their occupation. This is strictly prohibited in mainland China - a private school r

I'd like to offer my views on the decline of HK - 1. HK was a middleman, it used to connect the mainland China to the world. That worked for HK very well after 1949, but clearly the people living in the mainland do not want to see HK t

Now this is boring. People keep complaining about the fact that China's cheap stuff is flooding the US market. How about exporting some expensive US made stuff to China to close the gap of trading? Oh, you can't. Chinese living in

"having an iPhone is a status symbol"? really? you can probably argue that in 2009, but if that is still true, how come Apple's revenue in China has been declining lately?

Fleeing China's regime? You need to understand the fact that HK's entire existence is built on top of embracing the regime.

it is fake. two observations: 1. they sent a pre-recorded video to the media instead of inviting the media to witness the test flight. those who are capable of building such flying cars don't make stupid mistakes in such scale. 2. it h

This is now interesting. Apparently prisoners in the US and many other countries are not allowed to have Internet access. In the US there is a system in place that allows inmates to communicate text only emails. I don't think you can c

This is _not_ conclusive at all, there are way too many questions to be asked - 1. did those reduced mileage caused by more carpooling, improved public transport, e.g. Shanghai route 71[1]? or maybe people just choose to walk more often due

they pay you to use it. if you are surprised for the 0 RMB charge, think about those people riding those bikes to collection Hong Bo as their day jobs.

The melbourne scheme failed not because of the helmet laws, but because of its poor coverage. How many streets in inner city suburbs had those shared bikes stations for pick up/drop? Quite often you use those bikes for 10 minutes and t

because they are both backed by major investors with access to unlimited cash. they don't invest in those bikes, your deposit covers that, they don't manage those bikes, what else to spend their cash on? well, they picked the easi

recycling is just a small part of the story. all those bikes are basically un-managed. that is actually the core strategy to minimise operational costs. the real question that need to be asked here is - if I need to pay for parking my car o

Not sure which mobike model you guys have in Singapore, the ones in Shanghai/Beijing have pretty poor user experience, it just feel so heavy thanks to its chain-less design.

"If fewer bicycles are being produced due to higher usage per bike, that's good for the environment, right?" The manufacturers are being hit hard because their profit margin is squeezed to the absolute limit. 8 RMB or less th

the entire bicycle manufacturing industry is being wiped out thanks to Mobike and its competitor ofo (each has about 50% of market share). one of them ordered 5 million bikes a couple months back, according to the files submitted to the Chi

same here, I still have my Q6600 and I'd bet that 90% applications still run fine. this is very very different from back in the 90s, in those good old days 18 months old PC is basically useless.

Saw some test results on Chinese website claiming that once fully loaded the temp can jump to 100+ degrees when running at stock frequency without any form of overclocking. It that true? http://img1.mydrivers.com/img/20
