There's not really any nationalism about where things are made, everybody in China knows Chinese goods are lower quality and buys imports if they can afford it. this doesnt feel like it should be compatible with irrationally exuberant nationalism. the human brain is an amazing thing

It's like they missed the whole incident months before where the Prime Minister's Office trying to interfere with a legal case resulted in a massive scandal that almost brought down the government and ultimately didn't work because the PMO has no power to change prosecution and could only heavily suggest the Justice Minister offer an alternative deal. Like can you imagine the shitstorm if the scandal was over Trudeau attempting to interfere in the Meng case instead of over SNC?

Haven't seen this posted here yet. Apparently the US government is planning to expel several thousand Chinese university students for having ties to the PLA. Official announcement coming soon, expect critical levels of butthurt. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-china-students-idUSKBN2342AX

Devils Affricate posted:Lol is there even one? Like full time student, not someone doing an exchange program or something There have to be a few people working on their Chinese history/language/writing degrees in universities there. Had a friend of a coworker in China who was a PHD guest professor in economics at a university in Beijing. He wrote a massive paper as part of his job there (Chinese universities love getting foreigners to publish papers for them) and he was told that his Dept head would get a co-writing credit (despite doing nothing, but that's sort of standard procedure all over the world) for his paper. When it was published his name was nowhere to be found. He had to actually go into the PDF copy of the final version and do a search for his name. I guess the way they got around it was the entire paper was a citation (which the Dept. head published), and he credited the citation to him on page three of the cited sources.

Anyone have a good (reputably sourced) timeline of China's actions from the beginning of the pandemic to now? Something specifically outlining when they locked down internal flights vs international? I've heard lots of stories of them having a good month difference, apparently indicating that they didn't want it to spread internally, but didn't care if it spread externally. A lot of sources reporting this are newspapers I am not familiar with and they could be chud papers spreading yellow journalism.

I wonder how many people from surrounding Asian countries like Vietnam and Thailand attend their universities. @Heithinn Grasida maybe you can move to Taiwan to finish up your degree?

I bought a Huawei P20 Pro on steep discount slightly before the whole "spying on you for the PLA" thing came out, and while I can't say whether some PLA guy is laughing at my photos or not, I wouldn't recommend buying a Huawei phone in general. The specs are great and the camera is genuinely the best I've used on a phone, but their version of Android seems to be extremely unreliable. My alarms don't frequently go off, my Bluetooth headphones have all kinds of weird issues and all the Huawei software it tries to cram down your throat are awful copies of Google's originals. That's my Huawei story, thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

VideoTapir posted:The UI on huawei's new stuff is baffling. I keep looking for the bottom three buttons but they ain't loving there, and I can't figure what's taken over their functions. Months and months ago (like Sept or October) I was walking past a Rogers store in a mall and walked in since I was in the market for a new phone. I didn't see anything that caught my attention, but made a point to fondle the display (working) Huawei flagship phone at the time. While I was a fan of the size, shape, feel of it (guy behind the counter said the hardware was top notch), the UI was what stuck out most to me. It was like someone used Android for a week, then a year later they were asked to recreate it from memory. It looked like they went out of their way to make as many pointless changes as possible. I have long since given up on ever finding that review video again where someone from (CNET I think it was) analyzed the traffic and processes running in a Huawei phone (back in 2015-16 or so) and even after a factory reset, intentionally uninstalling and disabling features and apps, and even using 3rd party software to block, and eventually rooting and installing a custom (clean) android version, he couldn't get the thing to stop spewing data China's way.

I wonder if the teahouse scam is still going strong. I read an article recently about a guy who was a victim of it once in Beijing, and it caused him to turn down a stranger’s offer to be taken out for tea in Syria years later. It took a while for him to realize that many Syrians were just genuinely hospitable and welcoming, and drink a poo poo ton of tea. Not that all Syrians good and mainlanders bad, it’s just a cultural tendency.
