As an aside, Huawei poured a lot of funds in R&D, and those scientists and mathematicians they hired from Russia/France etc,. helped significantly to their breakthroughs.

Same here, and some definitions named by people's names. I totally understand the need to attribute and respect people's work, but a more descriptive name is almost always easier to remember and talk about.

China was a pure communist country before the reform.

To keep the name, they had to attach it to a different interpretation.

when it comes to respecting the authority,

「王侯將相,寧有種乎!」is a pretty common value to Chinese people. can be partially translated as "When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman？--John Ball".

Well, seems to be in accordance with the fact that the British never gave HK democracy.

The guy was bashed by a lot of people on social media.

Class mobility will stagnate even more if English was not studied at public curriculum.

I would say everyone need at least trying another language to gain a different perspective, it does work. And it has net benefit for the mass to against propaganda, slanted media reports and xenophobia etc,.

Moreover, It seems we lose the ability to do something without completely understand that when we grow up, learning languages helps us sort of regain that kind of skill.

Yup, China built railroads and other infrastructure at a relatively low price in Africa, they have no scruples. Not to mention died dozens of workers in 80s. Some Western companies are plumbing oil in Africa, they are moral heros.

> I highly doubt that one day this minority just decided to start attacking people randomly

you must know that that happened quite a few times in last ten years, like 2009, a lot of innocent people died.

And the British

Although China is a vibrant place it is still a developing country. not on par with stable developed countries. Speaking of guanxi, many new rich had gotten almost none but their tech talent.

That strategy is not uncommon for big companies, think about Facebook, Microsoft.

The reason that world has fewer full-fledged wars now is major powers have mutual assured destruction, US-leading doesn't come close as that.

You must know Chiang never acknowledged Taiwan's independence instead he had been trying to get back mainland and maintain ROC. It's more complicated.

Unlike U.S., Most good hospitals in China are public, but that doesn't change the fact that it's still expensive with the basic care if someone is in serious situation. More and more people are going towards buying some insurance nowadays.

Sometimes I wonder if universal healthcare works in big countries like U.S., China, India etc,.

I have to say, most Chinese don't know this crap till today. So nobody would say this is a fully homegrown web browser.

It's more like someone wanna wash their cash..

People are not afraid to calling out cheating. Yes, there are Chinese students do that. People are just not that into overgeneralize a giant group of people.

Ping Pong, Basketball, and e-sports..

> There has never been any freedom given by China to Tibet.

It seems you completely ignored my remarks. 95% of Tibetans were serfs before reintegrate to China. After 1951, they became free people have the basic human rights. As in history, Both Yuan dynasty and Qing Dynasty have Tibet.

> Look at the US tariffs imposed on China.

US and China are in trade wars. Trump is playing the 'art of deal' game(not only to China but also Japan and other countries) and he is sending treasury secretary to China to negotiate. This has nothing to do with India/China conflicts or Maldive incidents.

China is still a developing country and it didn't show off to be a superpower. The major agenda is still developing its economy and addressing poverty.

Regardless all the challenges, 21st century can hold two most populous countries in the world.

Coders make a good salary and have a normal schedule, they will usually find a partner. But nowadays I guess more and more young people will choose to live alone.

Yes, modern Chinese women would be offended if you call them Mrs (husband's surname)

China is really different from Japan/Korea when regarding at gender. Women were called to hold up the half the sky in China since the very beginning. And nowadays girls are just equally demanded to be excellent at STEM. I guess the reason is China had few revolutions while Japan and Korea were basically reforming themselves.

In some Chinese companies, they hire male models to send flowers to female staff.

Many of those 'more men' are from villages who didn't like girls. So they are swallowing that on their own, which is kind of re-balancing. By the way, given the tech we have these days, more and more young people seem to be OK to live only with themselves. Let alone VR, if you will.

It is rather rare and illegal to 'buy' a partner, many left-over men will probably be alone for their lives.

Actually Modi is visiting China in recent days. China and India will continue to compete and cooperate. Tibet has been a part of China for many centuries, and the serfs over there has been given freedom by CCP. Maybe some of those old serf-owners didn't like that. In foreseeable future, both China and India will look to increase its influence and there will be more conflicts, see Maldives, but also deals to make, like phone-makers from China continue to invest in India.

I don't think any two big countries can be friends instead of frenemies. Think about Soviet Union, China, U.S. back in last century.

Okay, why would the world still 'support' the U.S.? Given the U.S. and her other allies starting wars in middle east, so many innocent lives were taken. And the U.S. got away easily even no WMD found in Iraq.

Many things are partially ordered.

Normal people in Xinjiang would prefer a stable Xinjiang not some groups' idealized usually chaotic one.

Speaking of human right, raising living standards is the most pressing issue in China, and there are still many poor people in China need the help from the gov't. When they got richer, there will be more middle-class buy things from the West and the rest of the world.

Some countries can still bash China on many issues whereas making bigger deals with China at the same time.

China is still an entry level player on that.

The world cannot leave the U.S. and China and any countries on this planet even though I guess quite a few folks hate each other. Because they buy things from each other.

Money talks, if you will.

"Beijing used to have a lot of Uyghurs before the 2008 Olympics, but they were mostly all driven out and not allowed to return after the event." Any source on that? You can still easily see Uyghurs' barbecue stalls and restaurants in many cities including Beijing. Though security check on stations has strengthen since 2009 riot.

People can still use other apps, though it's getting tougher, but there are still other options, and if people really care more about privacy they may get a proxy and use Telegram.

If those attackers attacked police or gov't, they may call themselves a freedom figher. But If a guy randomly kills innocent people to show their agendas, he is definitely a terrorist, which was what happened in Xinjiang and other cities in China by some terrorist groups. Unfortunately, there was some western press quoted terrorist when they were covering those attacks.

Ah, unfortunately, there are many theft and violence in quite a few big Western cities.
