Thanks! I learned a very useful new concept. I wonder if there’s a collateral loss of freedom, too. For example when people from the west are against Google or Apple censoring stuff, we lose all of their services—because they either censor

The type you describe is very popular among older people and the rural area. But they’re mostly built by small factories that produce scooters. Most of them aren’t even road legal vehicles with mandatory insurance. They are popular but not

You're absolutely correct. The Party don't want us to access that tiny percentage of Google results that are political. Yet most in the west want us to have fuck-all. It's good intention. But the result is even worse.

Off topic but I just wanna say, oh man the T68 and especially the later T618, one of the most beautiful phones of all time. Apparently sold tons as well.

Corporate-like government would work perhaps only if citizens can buy social security against failed government. Corporates go bust all the time so that only those with good cerntral planning are left.

They are both bad, but the situation in the West are a lot less bad because one cannot easily opt out of a government and the government doesn’t have competitors that constantly tries to undermine tracking by offering various privcy tools a

China is different in that when the government spends on things like the GFW thete’s no checks and balances from an effective parliament.

I highly doubt if it's only 5%. A mainlander goes to HK, buys Rolex and new iPhone. Wears the Rolex and switches to the new iPhone. Goes back to mainland without declaring anything. How do these numbers end up in official statistics fo

Certainly there have been cases in the West where free speech are curtailed due to concern or anxiety over national security. But while you guys are traveling north from Hawaii , we are already in the Arctic.

In reality national security is interpreted and enforced in such way that all free speech is a threat.

The Geely and Lynk & Co brands share technology with Volvo so at least those should be fine.

There are two reasons the OP's partner has a good point. First the Chinese Communists are institutionally against the traditionally more educated class that used to run the government, because their ideology label them as inferior and

Not just farmers, but farmers who were stripped of the most basic moral and literal education during the worst destruction of culture and morality mankind has ever seen, at lease by some measures.

Interior, infotainment and powertrain all look very BMW. Reliability will be interesting to see in a few years.

Probably not. Death sentence for drug-related crimes are very common in China. A British citizen got death sentence too a few years back.

All domestic online activities are already linked to individuals. All apps and websites are required by law to do this so the marginal harm of having a censored Google is minimal, if any. People use VPN for a lot more than political searche

Google in China won’t make the people more oppressed. It gives us a tool for searchinng. It’s better than being oppressed AND have nothing to search with.

Here’s my anecdotal evidence. I had a very bad neck pain for the last few years, sometimes it can be very acute with no obvious trigger. I almost wouldn’t be able to move my neck at all. I tried to cut my laptop and phone use, but to very l

It’s the government’s responsibility yes but the government isn’t the only effective measure against false ads. The market works too so why not have both? Isn’t it even more necessary to have other resorts when the government isn’t elected

As a Chinese consumer I desperately need a viable alternative to Baidu. A consored Google would do so much good by bringing proper competition to the market. I know censorship sucks. But peole concerned about it should fight it by means tha

The iPad has so much potential yet the best effort they gave it was an average stylus and a clumsy keyboard cover. Now that the Surface has not only caught up but developed its unique forte the iPad has even less opportunity to innovate and
