Agree! I'm so glad that I don't live in US anymore

The second amendment is much more ridiculous than this

She's traveling under either a normal Chinese passport or a Hong Kong passport

Plenty of democratic countries are also poor, hostile and struggling in all aspects. China, for example, are doing much better overall compared to democratic India, and arguably Ta…

The target is making them look older, because images created long time ago usually have less quality and resolution. It is similar to antique furnitures being made to look old and …

As a regular Chinese citizen, freedom of speech is at the bottom of list of things I care about, and I would happily sell that for profit if it is sell-able. I lived in US for quit…

'cause it has no reason to copy what US government would do

Can't agree more

They're indeed also very biased, just in the opposite direction. You just can't get unbiased views.

Well, when it comes to stories about China, you can rarely find English articles that are NOT extremely biased. I also suspect someone from hackernews are manually promoting such c…

Not surprising at all. I've been actively logging into Google and confirming my visits at various restaurants. I've been using it to track my past activities, and I hope it can pro…

So, even though most people cannot understand some southern dialects when they hear it, they can fluently understand other dialects without explicitly learning to do so when it's w…

Sure, I love the fact that I can speak many languages. Why not. If you don't like the translation form 方言 to dialect, should I just call it fangyan or 方言? Or is there a more precis…

A few dialects are unintelligible indeed, and they're mostly spoken in southern parts of China. But most people can understand dialects spoken in central and east (north of Changji…

This is off-topic, but since you strongly encourage using grids for layout. How do you deal with browser support issues? I found even IE11 is still very buggy in supporting CSS gri…

Plenty of comments on HN are posted by green accounts :) and I stand by all my comments

lol, Chinese hotels can start listing Guam and Hawaii as independent countries. I wonder if Americans would got mad

I believe you're right. What I am against is really just pushing China towards American style democracy right now, at this moment. As one of the reasons, the danger of "elect me an…

What you said is also true. The opinions of Chinese immigrants differs a lot based on when they immigrated out of China. Was it 70s, 80s, or 90s? People immigrated out before 90s t…

I'd totally support that if it's working as designed. Having a level of indirectness is very different from having everyone vote for who becomes president. NPC has thousands of mem…
