I was born in China and my family runs factories here for many years.
What you mentioned is true, the absolute majority of the supply chain of the big name companies are still in China, and many of the alternatives in Vietnam are somehow managed by PRC background capital.
However, it’s absolutely a good start. The eco mic crisis raising in China will be like the 1930s in US, if not worse. My family are actively searching for ways to selling out everything and move out the country but it’s clearly prohibited by the Gov. We are worrying it will eventually becomes a new Third Reich in near future, when the supply chain will be completely destroyed.

May I ask is this in mainland china? I'm a bit surprised because we usually don't think like this. Most older generations (50s-60s) from the mainland would not consider migration unless they are from extremely previledged background with huge assets (still very unlikely, at least in mainland). Also I doubt any mainland chinese person would be familiar with the concept of the great depression and the third reich.
My ex-wife is Chinese and over the years she did mention a bit about her education.
Things like the great depression were covered in school. These make excellent examples of the "evils of capitalism" and how a communist government would protect you from these "evils".
* Xi Jinping's increasingly tight and authoritarian control
* the upcoming demographic crisis in China: 1. its population will start shrinking (earlier and faster than assumed until recently), 2. the dependency ratio (proportion of non-working age population to working age population) will go up massively, 3. due to the demographic development (inverted pyramid), selective abortion and increasing women's liberation, the imbalance in the "marriage market" will get massively worse (150+ men per 100 women).
I'd assume that if they are given free choice, Chinese women are going to prefer husbands who do well in life. That would imply that the 1/3 of men who end up perpetually single are most likely poor farmers from the countryside, i.e. people without the means to travel abroad to meet someone there.
Depends on why you think it's good. If you think it will hollow out PRC industry and will lead to collapse of CCP into Third Reich leading to collapse them you will probably be disapointed. CCP _wants_ PRC companies to expand in region because it's "cooperative" sourcing strategy that helps PRC geoeconomic posture by increasing dependence. Especially in Vietnam where PRC control over Mekong = influence over Vietnamese agriculture and energy via Laos hydogeneration upstream. The TLDR PRC moved into Vietnam long before tariffs, and while tariff dodging is nice perk, it's mostly another layer of influence/control over Vietnam.

Ergo why PRC supply chains won't be destroyed because apart from getting rid of polluting light industries where value:externalities do not compute, most relevant strategic supply chains will be protected in PRC for domestic use. I have family / friends who run factories as well, the ones in lowend got fucked whereas the ones higher up supply chain are doing fine. Those levers introduced last few years to prevent capital flight is why PRC is managing the eco crisis fine... a crisis by the way they chose to initiate (i.e. real estate) like past deleveraging efforts specifically because they have more lever to prevent actual crisis. But yeah people don't like the wild rides coming would be wise to look for excape plan, but it's going to be harder and harder to escape with much. Lots of people going to be fucked, while lots will continue to get rich, which is to say, same old China since the 90s.
Which will be great. The more countries that gets developed on labour driven export based manufacturing, the better. Before automation starts closing that window.
I hope you pull through this, I would likely be in a similar position as I don’t stock food up often. Also ignore the GP he’s all over the thread defending hyper aggressive lockdowns like Shanghai is
doing and accusing the blogger of using the term “identity politics” as a “dog whistle” which is borderline paranoid (the kind of people you would expect to obsessively fear COVID and back extreme measures).
Thanks for your kind words. Unfortunately thoughts like the GP’s is still hold by the gov and the majority of people in this country out of Shanghai. They turned blind eyes to the humanitarian emergencies as always.
The selling point of Nova is being a native Mac citizen rather than a Electron wrapper. The VSCode Extension API heavily relies on the flexibility provided by the browser runtime which native apps like Nova cannot give.
How much experience do you have with the product in question...?
Last I checked it literally embeds a JS engine with a custom API for extensions. Unless something has changed since I last looked... but if I glance at this URL (scroll down to "Providing a TreeView") it doesn't appear to have:
There is simply no reason it has to be different from the VSCode API; you can set up JavaScriptCore to hook into whatever native components you need. VSCode owns the market, full stop. This should mimic the API as much as possible to enable wider extension porting.
Hell, you could cover even a fraction of the VSCode API and that would still be more useful than the current Nova extensions API.
It is. Apple Maps uses various POI info providers including Yelp, Foursquare, TripAdvisor and even more in global. Yelp has to track user data as their business model required, but nor Apple. The integration of Yelp app is made by Yelp, through the open system API by iOS, which is definitely not exclusive to Yelp.
Lol, using their market power to help customers such as using their signing of the OS keys to force all default mapping applications to a proprietary location service that doesn't know where things are because of their own desire for power and control.
I’m considering purchasing an Akitio Node for my Mac mini 2018. I noticed there is only one thunderbolt port on the inclosure which means I cannot connect external display directly to it. Will the performance lost be significant?
I connect my (non thunderbolt) monitor directly to the GPU. If you need to connect to the computer directly you’ll take a small hit in some cases but a lot of gpu work isn’t constrained by pcie bandwidth
Baidu Tieba, which could be considered as Reddit for China, just made all posts before 2017-01-01 inaccessible. And a number of other online forums are doing the same thing due to political reasons.
Yes, but the effort to go through and scrub that much data to ensure only the ideas you want out are getting out would be massive. Seems easier to just shut the door and board up the room than to try and clean it.
If zshbleaker doesn’t respond, I’d guess that over time what’s acceptable and not acceptable changes (e.g. opinions about particular people who may have fallen out of favor, or Taiwan policy toggling between bellicose and conciliatory, etc) so rather than getting in trouble for providing acess to “inappropriate” content you simply ditch it.
Hi there. I was born in China and have been in here for more than two decades and I'm pretty sure that the reason CCP consider Christian as detrimental is absolutely nothing with Taiping Rebellion.
To understand this, you have to learn that what CCP did from 1950 to 1990 is aiming on sandificate the whole society. They successfully destroyed all tradition local communities under the name of "reform for communism", by killing landlords in rural and taking away fortunes of rich men in cities. Just like what happened to Jews in 1930s, German. People are atomic and not self organized. They only focus on their own interest and no concept of being a member of a local group.
However, Christians are encouraged to build local communities, and holding regularly meetings in Church or someone's home. This is level 0 alert for CCP.
I'm from China where WeChat dominates everything and SMS are nothing but to receive verification codes. Almost everyone here use WeChat as their contact and Contacts.app is merely opened no more than once a month. This phenomenon is common from giant cities, like Beijing and Shanghai, which are at least as developed as NYC or SF, to small cities in the rest part of the vast country, which are absolutely 3rd or even 4th world.
I agree with your point that in some countries people don't use Email and that's the face in China as well. But people use phone numbers just for register other services, as the online identity. We don't use SMS, and we prefer WeChat Audio over phone calls when it's available.
The philosophy of Erlang is a single cathedral. In fact the internal part of Erlang VM itself could be viewed as a distributed system, which is designed decades ago, far more before stuff we're familiar with today.
