They still want to make money. What they're doing instead is to reduce the percentage of foreign (translated) textbooks in schools, especially in universities.

So I guess the reverse is true also, which explains why my mainland SIM card wouldn't have unfiltered access roaming in HK.

Mostly agreed. But I would say those are still BMWs. There's no evidence that shows they are much worse than imported ones in terms of quality.

Being from Liaoning but never been to Michigan, I must say it's not half as good as the Michigan you described.

Detroit is a good comparison but perhaps apart from one thing: Shenyang has BMW's state-of-the-art factory that produces the new 5 series (and soon the new X3). Auto industry is one of the few highlights that actually thrives in Shenya

BBC has a documentary on Henry Marsh called The English Surgeon. It's also a great watch.

It definitely reduced my frequency in driving to work. I had to walk for 30 mins on my way to work, so I preferred driving. Now it's reduced by 2/3--a ten minute bike ride. Instead of being caught in the traffic with a full bladd

During the Uber vs Didi era, they paid the customer 10-20 yuan for each ride. Occasional free bike ride is nothing I guess. Especially when you have a huge deposit that's very unlikely to be refunded. Also, you probably happened to use

Your first line is true but only in a trivial sense. In this sense Fitbit is also a computer company. That would be a stretch, but not by far.

Maybe it's just me. But this sounds like Trump.

Here's my translation as a Chinese native, though I'm no technical expert. Companies that provide IDC, ISP, CDN services, without authorization, are prohibited to set up or lease connections (including virtual private networks),

Yes they are very popular. But I was listing devices I bought personally.

There's also, I guess, a diminishing return for infrastructure investments in a highly-developed country like the UK, especially when it's much smaller than China. That said though, it's a shame Heathrow still can't get

I use them in Beijing. You might wanna make sure some of their designs don't have IP infringements before importing though.

Even though Xiaomi is most widely known as a smartphone manufacturer, for me it's a fantastic home appliance and electronic accessories maker. They're great value for their price. I've come to own so many of these without eve

Chinese hotels are required to purchase computerized ID readers, which are connected to police databases, where all kinds of records are stored. So if you have a history of drug abuse, expect late night urine checks. If you are an protester

Recording ID for hotel visitors and chef's knife purchases are hardly 'scalable'. And, it's not the apps that are tracing you. It's apps linked with ID that enables not only government surveillance, but surveillance

The thing in China is that so many trivial daily activities require government-issued ID. Buying a coach/train ticket. Buying a SIM card. Every website/mobile app registration require a mobile phone number, which means any account

Without the censored Google, search experience in China, monopolized by Baidu, has been stalling, even deterioratig for years. Lack of competition does so much more harm than censorship. I as an internet user in China applaud Facebook'

The Economist is doing pretty well. I've been a subscriber for more than ten years. Now I still get my copy delivered on Friday, but for a little less money (no more print copy), to my iPhone and iPad, with audio for every article.

Rhino horn is a much harder problem. Economically, the demand is overwhelmingly for the pandas' survival, because the way people 'consume' pandas is by seeing them live. But demand for rhino horns for medicine or other purpos

I'm constantly amazed by people's lack of care for the Macbook Air's abysmal TN screen. It's so good to see this being pointed out in this article. But still I can't believe there is no a single mention of TN or IPS

Young people in China has a special bond with the Warcraft franchise, which is absent almost everywhere else in the world. Consoles were banned in China for two decades--basically a whole generation had limited access to games except on PC.

Maybe it doesn't work. I've always wondered why, among so many long-ruling authoritarian regimes, China is almost the only one with such strict censorship. Yes there was the Arab Spring but look at Saudi Arabia, Russia, Belarus, V

As much as I love the Air, it's an absolute shame they won't let it have an IPS screen. This is the single reason I won't buy another Air. The Air has got everything else right and I have no problem with the resolution. But i
