I'm not sure why you think I can't read Chinese, but Xi has been in power for 12 years and as far as I am aware cannot be removed by anyone other than the CCP. Please correct me if I'm wrong. If the people whom he governs can

It seems like a simple CI/CD in an airgapped environment might be simpler to implement than to (1) learn and (2) onboard an off-the-shelf solution when your airgapped requirement limits your ability to leverage the off-the-shelf ecosys
