Cuz they realized they can just flex on the US with Chinese users being like “oh wait you actually pay for ambulance rides lol”
Mock us. Viciously.
Wow, xiaohongshu (the user) is right:. Shanghai's Party leadership really is just some liberals LARPing with hammer and sickle lapel pins if this is what they cook up. This is an idea reaching Yakolev levels of turbolibbery.
According to Mao Xiangdong, Vice President of Shanghai Institute of Technology and a member of the Municipal People's Congress [...] Learning from developed countries and embracing new technologies, restoring access to the international internet is just around the corner.
It could also boost the "AI + Entrepreneurship" boom, leading to a rise in companies like Nvidia, OpenAI, Microsoft, Tesla, Google, Facebook, and X.
[...] helping Shanghai align with international norms. This would also give residents the freedom to use popular social platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter
Tools like ChatGPT, O3, and other AI resources would be more accessible, fostering a more dynamic and innovative educational environment.
They're going to be in for a huge surprise when they find out that AI in the west isn't used for innovation, it's just used for grifting.
Yea sure why not its not like shanghai can get anymore libbed up
Do it for everyone, not just Shanghai. Overwhelm the western Internet with the power of Chinese posters. Watch as redditors can only watch in despair as all their imaginary internet points go away, and EVERYTHING getting upvoted is pro-China, and any Winnie the Pooh joke gets flooded with down votes. Create the Internet Apocalypse.
any Winnie the Pooh joke
You know, I almost have to wonder if anyone who makes those jokes has even watched like any of Winnie the Pooh, like at all. Like every single story has always been some problem comes to the Hundred Acre Wood and then Pooh and his friends come together despite their differences in strengths, flaws, and personalities to solve and fix the problem.
No. I'd rather not China turn too lib because of gen z spending too much time kn shitty meta apps or youtube
The new foreign concession
is it joever fellas, are we gonna get another hundred years of Burgerreich
It's like one guy saying this, probably not happening any time soon.
Digital Treaty Port
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
