The author makes an incorrect assessment without considering the appropriate context for China. The gaping hole in his assessment of "Chinese cultural exports" is the failure to ac…

If you a "business owner in Hong Kong" then you should be able to see with your own eyes whether Hong Kong is "just another Chinese city" or not, rather than believing the anti-Chi…

> paranoid presumption There is no "paranoid presumption", that's literally what the comment I'm replying to was doing. So, look at reality instead of sitting on your high horse, b…

My direct experience contradicts your direct experience. I'm Chinese, grew up in China until I was 5, and visit it every now and again. > I have been told over and again (by Chines…

You should always compare the data against other countries before jumping to hasty conclusions based on your own prejudices and confirmation biases. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki…

You seem to have a bit of sour grapes that a non-Western country dares to talk positively about their own policies. You should understand that translations often lose some cultural…

China is not a totalitarian regime - you shouldn't believe all the propaganda out there, you should actually go there yourself and you'll find that you can live your life quite nor…

I'm not the person you spoke to but I can answer this question from my own perspective: I'm Chinese, grew up in the UK, but I do consider moving back to China as a long-term option…

The problem today is that you have these nice laws to protect the media, but they themselves are not taking responsibility for their own actions, instead they pander to the prejudi…

I do not believe there is any systematic suppression of the Uighurs in Xinjiang (where they are a majority), this is not consistent with Chinese history. As far as I can make out, …

This methodology is biased towards a western perspective on how democracies "must" be run. Taken literally, a democracy is a direct democracy, but no country today is a direct demo…

I am sorry some people downvoted you, this supposedly-rational forum is not immune from extreme anti-China prejudices either. Indeed these constantly-negative news reports are ridi…

Haters gonna hate, I predict a TSLA.

From the slew of negative nitpicky comments here, it seems that Hacker News has been taken over by MBA and not technical types. Yes the nerds you looked down on in high school are …

Whatever scenario you imagine where some $bigtech benefits from using the software, there is some identifiable chain of events from where the software was produced, which can, with…

No, "source available" does not generally allow one to distribute and sell your own modifications. This license would be exactly like today's FOSS, except to force large tech compa…

That's simply not true. ">X revenue a year" would affect nobody except the largest tech companies. Apart from this, it would strictly benefit existing users, because it means the p…

That license is specifically targeted in favour of small businesses for some reason, omitting individuals etc. This potential FOSS license I am talking about would only target agai…

> what about companies which aren't controlled by the larger corp? Include these companies in the definition? > What do you do? Generally, there will be situations that are hard to…

I wish there was a FOSS license with a clause along the lines of: - if your company makes >X revenue a year, give us some of it. Ofc, they (FSF/OSI/DFSG) would have to relax their …

Like laws, definitions change with changing times and circumstances. I am a Debian Developer and very happy to discuss this with other members of the community. Why is it important…

Sure, the license would have to figure out how to share revenue with major contributors too. > contributors are generally not going to help a for-profit project without themselves …
