I have pretty much zero sympathy for people like this. Karmic retribution if he actually gets deported.

Yeah, I could have picked three random ads with white people a couple years ago too.... It'd be different if they had, like, numbers showing more ads were using just white people or something than before.

EDIT: This applies to both comments BTW

I still don't understand how some people find this controversial given how important mobile devices are to people now.

I don't think that number is surprising. Living in China e.g. 40 years ago would have sucked, so as mentioned in the article you posted, living conditions have basically continuously improved for people. I expect that number will drop in the upcoming decades (although IDK to what extent). It's worth noting the studies were basically pre-COVID.

Also, pointing out that China has other political parties is worthless since they basically can't do anything.

I find it sort of amusing that your example for the UK is the Online Safety Act given that China has the GFW. Like, I find the Online Safety Act problematic (along with a number of other things the UK has done), but the scale is barely even comparable lol.

It takes 0 effort to find other sources if you actually try to look this sort of stuff up. I feel like you've basically decided the answer and are just looking for people to validate your opinion.

If you're in North America, Asian cars are generally gonna be Korean or Japanese, not Chinese. I'd probably say just buy Japanese cars frankly since IIRC they're supposedly the most reliable.

Shenzhen is huge and has an absurd amount of tech companies, so this doesn't really surprise me.

This is a case where I find trying to preserve "tradition" just incredibly bizarre. Like, what does this even add?

Truly so shocked. Anyway, pretty obvious since the biggest reason these companies refuse to even release the server component (as opposed to making the game playable offline) is that they can then either "remaster" the game and release it again in like a decade or just release it again with maybe a couple features added and call it v2.0.

Gotta shove AI into everything to prevent the bubble from collapsing.

Their dignity seems a bit fragile. Might want to work on that.
