   I don't want to derail this even further, just want to offer a different point of view. I'm a Chinese citizen, and ever since I started reading HN a few years ago, it feels like the media and comments in general are mostly negativ

   I've seen quite a lot of criticism against the social credit system. But to me it it just crime history and (financial) credit history mined from big data and combined into a centralized system. What's particularly bad about the s

   Indeed that seems to be the moral of the story for a lot of cases that I know of: - plain JavaScript/jQuery to React - Ruby on Rails/Node.js to Golang Many people might dismiss the former as an inferior language, but the point is,

    Ah, so many links are in Chinese. I wonder if it would be a good business to setup a website dedicated to curating these non-breaking news on China in English.

    I generally disagree with the approach of annexing or colonizing other independent countries. China in particular has suffered much from colonization so that's something we don't like to see happening to other countries. With that
