Chinese Unity engine has advanced features not available globally lol I thought of the discussion a few pages back where even McKinsey does good work in China. Unity has been chasing its tail half assing dev while floundering in stockholder pleasing bullshit for so long, but in China the local office is independent and they split off their own fork of the engine which has been getting rapid fire development of new features.

Tankbuster posted:Just saying that Guncotton doesn't use actual cotton. While true a) casual readers don't know that and b) an ever escalating trade war combined with bellicose rhetoric might just cause China to decide to stop selling you poo poo you need to start a war with them which means the point of the story is still true, just slightly more indirectly so.

Someone pointed out that China stopped selling the guncotton a while ago but they only reported it now (France24) so there is a reason for it. Also the European Parliament is trying to pass some anti One https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2024/03/01/2003814279 stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 12:13 on Mar 4, 2024 |

^^ Nah the land developers are squatting on some of the good lands. So HK government probably either change the law or just move the new development zone closer to SZ in new city centers. Look, there is no reason for HK to have 2x higher cost of living and real estate price and everything else compared to SZ and GZ next door, since China no longer need a custom port, import/export border city in her manufacturing base. Plus the population of HK is way too big for such a specialized role. It's just going to slow transformations to integrate HK into Guangdong province. Beijing doesn't want to grab the four real estate families and put "counter revolutionary" cone hats on them and parade them around the city and shoot them publicly, so they are going to take the slow route to transform HK. I have no ill will upon any HK young people, they want to stay in HK and continue make their livings or apply BNO half citizenship in Britain, it's entirely up to them. stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 16:49 on Mar 4, 2024 |

I think it was here that I learned about the Wave Media channel that covered a lot of China centric topics. Just saw they decided to interview Jackson Hinkle about 'MAGA communism' and the replies are full of people praising him. I unfollowed that channel immediately lol

mila kunis posted:Is it viable to live in one of the other bay cities and commute to HK? you can get away with living in shenzhen and commuting to hong kong, i have known a few people to do it. there's schoolchildren that do that every day to go to school too. but i think theres more people going the other direction, living in hong kong and working in the mainland. if you live in hong kong and work in shenzhen you can commute every day, but theres also a lot of hong kong guys who rent a cheap apartment in a further area of shenzhen, or guangzhou, or foshan, or wherever, and they only go back home to hong kong on the weekends
