Just to give some context for people not familiar with the Chinese Internet, it is a pretty popular and well known trick on Chinese social media and chat apps. So the company might not have realized how foreign the concept is outside China.

US and EU have in the past blocked several Chinese companies (ZTE, Huawei, etc) for national security reasons as well. Would you classify them as protectionism? If yes, then why are you complaining? If not, then why are you applying double

Okay, that was a rather weak point, I agree. Regardless, I do think there are more differences than similarities between the current China and the then Nazi.

by paradite 9y ago
Okay. Let me break down my arguments in 2 parts: [1] China is not similar to Nazi because the extent of "cleansing" is not on the same scale as Nazi (even if you count death sentences on illegal cult members) [2] China is not simi

> The world doesn't declare war on countries because of their internal wrong doings. Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to say. Thanks for pointing out how China is different from Nazi.

So assuming what you described is true, why hasn't the rest of the world declared war against the communist China? Because it's not close to what Nazis did. And that's my point. Btw, from the articles that you linked, it is q

Spying on citizens and dissidents, even if true, is nothing close to Nazis. For the record, - China was on the opposite side of Nazis in WW2 - China has 56 ethnic groups and has no plan to "cleanse" any of them

I know this comment might attract a lot of hate, but I will put it here anyway. The main reason why Facebook is not in China is that Chinese government wishes to regulate Facebook while Facebook (like Google) refuses to obey. In some ways,

I think I get what you mean: Because it is the constitution, it must be abstract and serve as guiding principle. However, I beg to differ. Here is the full latest constitution: Chinese: http://www.12371.cn/special/zggcd

Since you mentioned "ideal", let me give you an example of "ideal". ＂中国梦＂, literally translated as "the Chinese dream" and a phrase coined by CCP, describes an "ideal" that fits your description. But

In both Chinese and English, I feel "beautiful" is as abstract as "rich", and less abstract than "powerful" and "democratic". Maybe you feel differently but that's how I feel.

Like I said in the edited comment in parent, 美丽 is mostly used to describe physical objects. So it is going to be interpreted as beautiful towns, cities and houses by the general public. And the officials will maybe prioritize some gentrifi

As a native Chinese speaker and a Chinese citizen, I found nothing interesting in this article except the author's dislike towards CCP. It looks like the author wanted to understand the meaning of 美丽 in this context but failed so inste

Uhm... the author seems to be confused about the relationship between Github and git. GitHub doesn't develop git, it's a service built on top of git. Any modifications to git has nothing to do with GitHub. GFVS is a GitHub project

Not sure about others but I find myself practicing doublethink when juggling between Chinese media and Western media and have no symptoms of cognitive dissonance. To me it's just a matter of perspective. Maybe we need to take that into

I think you might have misunderstood what I mean by "taking care of your potential users". It is not a short-term definition. On the contrary, I want a long-term solution, where users trust the platform that your company provides,
