Privacy@lemmy.ml•Remember when they were calling for regime change in China because of mass surveillance? This is the USA today
5·12 days agoI wanted to start a rebuttal but realistically I’ll never change your mind. I just want to say all the things you mentioned like healthcare, housing, education, infrastructure (how is the high speed rail network in the US?) , social security, living wage, and privacy laws like the GDPR are all part of life in China. You make it sound, like most ignorant people who never visit China, like it’s some North Korea here. At least China is not beholden to its tech companies and lobby groups, who buy and own the current US regime. There is more competition and choice here than I ever had in the US. With the exception of ranch sauce that is. Lasty the big difference between China and most Asian countries vs western civilization, is the sense of community. In the US most people are selfish and for themselves - maybe because of the lack of the basic services you mentioned - and if your job doesn’t benefit them, no interest. Especially covid this difference in community became very clear.

161·12 days agoI lived and worked in both the US and China. My life was infinitely better in China. You don’t even notice the cameras but what you do notice is that I can go to my café, leave my electric scooter unlocked with helmet on, get a table outside, put my laptop on it and then go inside to order coffee without any fear anything will get stolen. In the parks there are public coat racks and people put their jackets, backpacks and other stuff on without any hesitation. You feel safe at night walking down the street by yourself. This feeling I rarely have anywhere else. Delivery packages are left outside and gathered sometimes outside of the compound on the public walkway without being stolen.
Now whenever I travel to Europe, I have to totally reverse this behavior otherwise all my shit will be gone. That to me is awful.

Europe@feddit.org•Europe considering banning VPN for 'children protection'English
173·14 days agoOf course politicians are exempt. Just like with the chat control law. Brussels has been reading 1984 and what’s good for me is not good for you.
I dumped Mullvad once it stopped working in China and support was ‘yeah go fuck yourself. We don’t care about China customers’. And indeed it stopped working for months so I indeed fucked off. Now have a much, much better, working VPN with 99.99% uptime. And so, so much faster than Mullvad ever was.

World News@lemmy.ml•Europe considering banning VPN for 'children protection'
15·14 days agoThe idea itself is terrible, independent of age. It always starts with something like this and before you know, it gets expanded. Because a lot of people are like you: ‘don’t worry. It will be alright. Doesn’t impact us’. The same for chat control.

401·14 days agoSoon we have no assets because everything is subscription and no freedom because ‘of the children’. Before people comment ‘it’s like China’, at least China is honest why it is restricting the internet. And if course in Europe the politicians are exempt, just like with the chat control law. This is such a dangerous development all over the world.

Europe@feddit.org•Trump ‘pleased to announce’ 25% hike on EU auto tariffs effective next weekEnglish
2·20 days agoWhat the fuck are you talking about? Buick is anything but a status symbol. I lived here for 7 years now and can’t remember the last time I have seen one. They have a joint venture with SAIC, a state owned car company and the cars are often rebranded. Mostly German brands were seen as status symbols but that’s no longer the case either due to arrogance and lack of innovation. Except maybe audi who have some Chinese only EV’s. Now local high end cars, especially EV’s are trending. Nio, Xiaomi, Li, Xpeng, Maextro to name a few. You barely see any American car brand here.
Oh and I’m a car nut so I know what I’m talking about

10·23 days agoNote that most countries can travel visa free to China for upto 30 days. It includes all European countries as well as South America, Canada and middle east.
Of course the USA is excluded for so many obvious reasons.

United States | News & Politics@lemmy.ml•Trump fires the entire National Science Board
34·26 days agoDepending on what happens in 2028, it will take years, if not decades, to recover from this. Fuck RFK jr with his worm and racoon penis.
BioNTech is definitely not defunded in China. Besides BioNTech, there are more local pharmas working on mRNA. BioNTech have a license / working agreement with BMS worth 2 billion dollars mainly for a mRNA cancer vaccine. Mostly handled in China - again. Because in the US as a scientist you’ll be defunded if you use the word mRNA in your documentation.
It is generally fucking nuts to block what could be one of the major cancer treatments of the near future.
China has no social credit score like the western media have you believe. The US has indeed a social credit score, designed to keep the majority of the population poor.

All China does is troll Trump. They exactly know what they were doing. They just treated him like a toddler.
