What's the issue in this case? What do I put in my CV in place of "Master's degree" in case it triggers someone?

Does anyone actually get triggered by this word in this context though? "Master" in git is not related to a master-slave relationship.

What are you even talking about. Hong Kong has one of the strongest legal systems in Asia, although it's being slowly eroded by the government. Have you even visited or do you just watch shitty Kung Fu movies and assume the whole place

Please see this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Wenliang The world doesn't need apologists for China and its suppression and human rights abuses.

I was assuming it was due to the sheer volume of loli being posted on that instance. Most instances block / mute it for this reason.

Better response would have been to not cover up the existence of a Coronavirus for months.

The thing is they can now use "it's a separatist movement" to shut anything down that's too inconvenient for them. For example, the last year of protests are being deemed "separatist" and caused by "foreig

The irony being that this so-called terrorism is in reaction to clamping down of freedoms and arbitrarily adding national security laws into the Basic Law. I want to know who falls for this nonsense.

An earthquake or volcanic eruption is a natural disaster - there is nothing that can be done to stop them from happening and they are largely unpredictable. The Covid virus started naturally but that it was allowed to turn into a pandemic w

The only person in the world who is respected by both the government of PRC and ROC (Republic of China/Taiwan) is Sun Yat Sen. He's the man who wanted to reform China and remove the corruption associated with the previous Dynastie

The current culture in China was created by the CCP. The culture of old China, before the cultural revolution, persists in Taiwan. Taiwan has very few of the problems that China has.

Yes, there are plenty of ways to communicate with younger people. But I am talking about, for instance, my grandpa. Many people in China (including my family) aren't so "cosmopolitan" and only use WeChat

You need to be careful with this. I used something similar to this because I don't like running WeChat on my phone and the account was almost instantly banned and I lost my only communication channel with my family in mainland.

That would maybe work if he wasn't arrested for talking about this problem in a private WeChat group. Li wasn't trying to announce it to the world at this point, he was just discussing with his peers.

Not just that, the hospitals are completely jammed in certain areas which means if you get the illness it's often safer to just stay at home - but then it goes unreported.

That may be true but Indian fintech is for domestic use and we are talking about exported services.

by throwaway1997 7y ago
It can be a large economy, in part because there are 1.3bn inhabitants, but my point is that people consume services provided by Indian companies largely because they are cheap.

Unfortunately that's only because they are cheap

Regardless of your political views, Taiwan is a different China from mainland China. There are a lot of initiatives to promote a Taiwanese identity such as MIT (Made in Taiwan) and Taiwanization.
