Ah, that is also pretty similar to the policy changes in Singapore: http://www.mom.gov.sg/newsroom/press-releases/2016/0726-upda...

Interesting. Singapore introduced the exact same policy (hire Singaporeans first) a few years ago. I thought it was well-intentioned even though it would hurt myself as a foreigner. Edit to add source: http://www.straitstimes.com

And why is this being flagged?

Ah. Never thought of it that way, makes perfect sense. Thanks for the analogy.

Ah, never mind, I see the "Welcome, [my university name] user." message on the top header.

It is probably the first case because I can download (view the pdf) without registering.

Why would this be flagged? It is a good report with lot of information and analysis to gratify intellectual curiosity.

I'd like to discuss a slightly different issue here. Aren't there already a plethora of peer-reviewed journal articles on the issue of climate change? Why is it still necessary to store the presumably raw data? Even my high school

As much as I hate regulations on Internet access, the title as of now is an inaccurate description of the regulations in terms of the target audience. I hope someone can summarize the translation above as a more accurate title.

Curious if you are in NYU Shanghai? I think that's the only campus in China where you get unfiltered Internet.

This notice is something like a "campaign" in English, which starts now and lasts for one year until March 2018. The assumption here is that these issues would have been addressed by then. The timing March 2018 does not carry sign

Because if you are anti-China, you will probably not want to travel to China in the first place. And if you are pro-China, then you have nothing to hide and is of no interest to the custom.

On the contrary, I keep getting the sort of news that you are missing, on my daily dose of social media. Just yesterday, I got this: http://www.economist.com/news/china/21714383-and-theres-lot-... And plenty more

That's interesting. Can you recommend me some pro-China Western media? I am having trouble finding one.

So you have a zhuyin keyboard and is suggesting everyone to buy one in order to type Chinese?
924.
by paradite 10y ago
for that you have Furigana, which is essentially kana for kanji: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furigana

Uhm... Not sure about that. I speak Chinese everyday for the past 20 years and it sounds like one syllable to me.

Reply to your second part: That's a shock to me. Billions of Chinese people and millions of people learning Chinese are doing just fine. If anything, pinyin makes the first few lessons easier. Of course I am not suggesting that pinyin

"n" in pinyin is pronounced as /ən/ when paired with "u", which shares the same pronunciation as "en"（恩）: zhun, tun, gun, lun... That's another rule. But in return you get 26 alphabets which majo

You sound like you know a lot of this. But educate me how ㄓㄨㄣ is supposed to better describe 準 as two syllables? Both looks like three syllables to me, with zh/u/n or ㄓ/ㄨ/ㄣ. In fact why is that word even two syllables? F
