They're not the same but I don't think that laws from China or Europe or some other country should impact services in America. If we want the same restrictions we can make the laws ourselves.

Freedom of speech is not the same in the rest of the world outside of America. Lots of European countries have hate speech laws in place where you can be convicted of crimes for speaking your mind if it's hateful. The EU has been press

China once had a large emphasis on humanities, the Imperial Exams used to be primarily tests and essays on classical books, philosophy, and poetry. Science, engineering, and math were not important. It did not turn out well for them.

Re-education camps with high death rates are very common in the CCP's brief history, so it seems like they're just rehashing what they've done before but this time on the Uighers. Prison labor camps: https://en.wik

I had a kindle keyboard and it had 3g. It worked in a bunch of countries--slowly though. I remember reading blogs where people were taking the sim cards out and tethering using them.

I think you might be over estimating how long things were shut down in Asia. Outside of Hubei, China had an extended Chinese New Year for a couple weeks (in February) and a longer post holiday ramp up. Taiwan, South Korea and Japan didn

If someone's trying to sell you something that takes 1 month to ship out, you might as well go more direct and look for it on Aliexpress.

Colors are can be subjective and somewhat politicized even when there's a written description. It's kind of like how every culture tends to color Jesus to be more similar to the local people, even though everyone knows he's f

It's also not a surprise when cleaning supplies run out, they're used at a fairly steady rate; like you have weeks of notice if you see the bottle/box is running low.

I mean part of this issue is that there is no feedback to the website owner, which is shown by the guy only getting a response here on HN. Like isn't it kind of insane that the top Google search engineer provided customer service to OP

I think reciprocal would be more like the 50% local ownership plus government oversight just like China does. It just doesn't look good that they're singled out to be sold off 100% seemingly for being successful with their only is

Microsoft also has substantial Chinese operations (compared to other tech giants), so the Chinese government may have a preference to pressure Bytedance to sell to a relatively friendly company.

Intel has fabs but they don't make anything except Intel products. They tried a few years ago to set up a contract foundry business, but it didn't work out despite signing some big deals initially (Nokia).
