I'm sorry if I wasn't clear in my comments. Yes of course I am aware of the status quo and very much following all major events. What I was commenting was the general everyday activity involving law and legal system. I don't

I'm talking about lower courts such as county/city courts that deal with all local level proceedings. They function just as English magistrates/county courts. I'm not sure how the separation of power has anything to do w

One of my high school friends has become a judge in my hometown (fulfilling his dream), and they are actually a team specialising in dealing with cases against local authorities[0]. I exchange conversation with him about all kinds of societ

I think there is an issue with focus of the role. If job is more focused on programming then the candidate must be at least proficient in coding. Otherwise if you need a mathematical modelling person then you need to look into relevant trai

I don't how much the main stream media are reporting the real underlying issues surrounding these 'on the surface' storms. It is definitely not 'capricious' for us to know in Zhejiang. The 'unofficial / un

I was working in RDF/ontology space. IMO the additional domain knowledge required to model data correctly and publish them in a way an average user can comprehend and navigate properly is disproportional to the benefit of such data mod

I worked with teams integrating legacy systems from hospitals before. There seem to be a large amount of carefully customised scripts for pulling data together. There was never a straight-forward data ETL / export for something other t

I agree with you. However Xi is only one person, there is much larger power structure behind him. And you are absolutely right, Jiang and Deng have much more experience with the west and 'modern' at their times. As for the younger

I want to agree with you but I too am a bit out of touch (all the information is from friends). I don't like to defend the central gov but there is too much smoke and mirror to see through things. A lot of press reports genuine issues

What you are saying is definitely true in a general sense; a lot of local gov income comprises of shady land deals. However it is a bit different in 'far border' areas such as Tibet/Xinjiang. Land is not scarce, and developme

My wife is from Sichuan which is bordering Tibet. It is a bit more complicated than that. Over the years the development has been fast but still far behind the majority of China. The polices to 'encourage' and harness the great ov

As a joke I can confirm that something similar happened to me frequently when I first moved to Europe late 2000s. As a non-native English speaker and because of the thick accent of the local people I constantly mis-heard and made stories ou

Same thoughts here. In our research institute there seem to be a general satisfaction with working from home but parents workers including me are not quite in that category. I wouldn't want to go back to office yet but at home with kid

I feel your anxiety as a chinese expat/immigrant/diaspora. However it's worth reminding that a lot of these feeling might come from online sensationalism or social media amplification. Real life is a bit different and you are

The big downside for me having a small child at home is that I could not concentrate on a task for more than half and hour, which is essential for research work. I had to go over stuff again and again because once my thoughts broken I need

That's absolutely true. From the fact that there were so many equally ancient text commenting and interpreting the the original text (later also become canonical sources), it could be contradicting itself too. My views were basically f

My comment wasn't about any political stance he has nor what might cause his journey. It was the interactions with other foreign youtubers in China. And surely the inconvenient truths were at most documented/collated material by

by dumb1224 6y ago
Sure if you believe you're at certain risk. But these channels were talking about Serpentza and his behaviour telling untruth about other vloggers. It has nothing to do with political criticism.

I agree with you and grew very weary of these threads. My love of the forum come first from the tech/randomness of this place. However been living outside of China in Europe for almost a decade and half I feel it is difficult to ignore

I think no one is doubting that, but I have yet to see any tweets from these bots are having any effect at all to turn the topic around (usually it's very one-sided against China). Do you have any examples that it might corrupt the dis

My boss is very good at skimming through scientific papers. She's so well trained she will get the gust of a paper in a couple of seconds(maybe exaggerated). I guess there is the expertise in the field at play as well...
