@commiepommie 那个闪光灯的摄像头是用来给车辆测速的；如果你是中国司机并使用导航的话，导航会提前告诉你所有摄像头的存在，包括违章摄像头、测速摄像头...所以摄像头大多是为了提醒人们而不是为了罚款

When I first arrived in China back in 2016, I had no idea what to expect. 🇨🇳♥️ During the flight from Australia to Fujian, I was genuinely frightened. I remember thinking, “I need to be careful. I hope I don’t do something wrong and end up being imprisoned. Or have my organs harvested.” Yes, I actually had these thoughts in the back of my mind. Why? Because I was brainwashed. For years, Australian news, BBC broadcasts and every mainstream outlet I consumed had painted China as a surveillance state where dissidents vanished and organs were harvested on demand. Falun Gong pamphlets appeared in Brisbane streets with horror stories. Politicians spoke about China the way they speak about countries they want you to fear, not understand. I absorbed it all without question. That is what brainwashing looks like: you do not even know it is happening. Then I arrived. Stepping out of the airport into Fujian for the first time, nothing matched the picture in my head. The streets were calm. People were going about their lives, shopping, eating, walking their dogs, dancing and singing in the streets and chatting on benches. There was no tension and no fear in anyone’s eyes. No dystopia, just a city functioning normally and me standing there realising everything I had been told was a lie. Friends and family back in Australia had warned me not to go, some were absolutely adamant. They told me I would regret it, that I was naive and that I would come back with a different story about “how bad it really is.” I have been here for years now and I have never left. If China were what they described, I would have been on the first flight back. What actually changed my thinking was not a grand revelation, it was daily life. The elderly woman insisted I join her table for tea as I was wandering through a park. The stranger who walked me where I needed to go when my Mandarin confused the taxi driver, not because he wanted anything, just because that is how people behave here. Walking home at 2am through streets that felt safer than any I had walked in Brisbane City, never once checking over my shoulder. These are not anecdotes, they are routine. This is how life works in China and no Western article will ever tell you that because it contradicts the entire narrative. Yes, I noticed cameras everywhere, and they were not concealed, they were right there in plain view. But I never once thought this was out of the ordinary, because back in Brisbane there are cameras everywhere too, they just aren’t immediately noticeable. Australia has metadata retention laws that log every phone call, every text and every browsing session. Facial recognition runs in pubs, casinos, streets, shopping centres and venue scanners track who enters and leaves. The difference is not that China surveils and Australia does not. The difference is that China’s cameras are visible and Australia’s are hidden, and which one is actually more transparent? Coming from government and corporate tech work, I know exactly what Australia’s surveillance infrastructure looks like from the inside. So when people tell me China is a surveillance state, I know they are not comparing reality to reality. They are comparing a headline to their imagination. I do remember thinking the vehicle cameras on the roads were rather odd though, as they have giant flashes snapping photos of every vehicle that passes. But these are all in place for road safety. China has some of the strictest traffic enforcement in the world and it works: road fatalities per capita are far lower than in Australia or the US. I made some local friends back in 2016 and they told me a story about an old man who went out walking but didn’t come home. After calling the police, they quickly found him in a park and he required medical assistance. It was only due to the systems in place that they knew where he was at that moment. The cameras and systems China has in place are truly there for the safety of citizens, not for mass surveillance. People might keep shouting about mass surveillance, but from a tech perspective, it is impossible to track each and every movement of China’s 1.4 billion people. This is not what the nation is doing. It is doing everything possible to safeguard its people: make the streets safe, ensure everyone has access to basic necessities, and as a result, crime is almost non-existent. Between 2016 and now, I have come to learn that China is not the country I once believed it was. It is not perfect, no country is, but China is doing a lot right. The country that “brainwashed” me into fearing it turned out to be the country that welcomed me, kept me safe and gave me a life I chose to stay in. Instead of criticising China, other countries could learn a thing or two. Start by asking the people who actually live here.

@bookwormengr US attracts thousands of Chinese academic elites every year and it has lasted for 40 years. Now some of them went back and did something great, and Americans immediately shouts"why don't all Chinese students stay here"😅

@GlennLuk in case you have forgotten:

@GlennLuk 你们美国人是不是忘了那几年fbi发动的“中国倡议”，甚至导致好几名中国学者自杀？然后现在你们问为什么中国人不想留在美国😅

Can't speak for him specifically but based on my interactions with mainland Chinese entrepreneurs who have completed graduate studies in the US: Reasons to return to China: - Much larger market opportunity to build a huge business (in real terms) where you can move and scale faster - Family/friends and comparable quality of life (arguably better if you are a "city" person) - Easier from a language and cultural perspective Reasons to stay in the US: - Greater opportunity to build a more valuable business (in nominal terms of market cap/valuation) and build financial moats - Higher level of competition and overall degree of entrepreneurial difficulty in China; need to move/scale faster just to survive - If they really like the suburban lifestyle or have already put down meaningful roots (e.g. older kids in school, existing network) Side note: I have not met a single one who cites "CCP coercion" as the primary motivation to move back. I don't know why people are bringing this up; it makes zero sense unless you think the CCP are incompetent. Fear/"sticks" is a highly ineffective tool to recruit motivated, high-performing entrepreneurs. Adverse selection effect. Instead, the CCP's main role is a carrots-based approach, particularly in fostering an ecosystem that is supportive and makes life easier for entrepreneurs to build and develop companies. This is also done more through local governments than the central government.

Trump: The Chinese government wanted me to lose the 2020 election because I charged them tariffs.

A Chinese Long March 10B rocket aced its debut launch on Friday (July 10), sending a satellite to orbit and coming down for a history-making landing at sea. space.com/space-explorat…

@Aviation_Intel It's simple, the US has lost the capability to design a truly innovative fighter. It just can't achieve enough maneuverability without canards🤣

Feature👀: Why Does The F-47’s Design Look So Different Than What Many Expected? Most 6th gen fighter concepts have been tailless deltas, and China is pursuing that planform, but Boeing's F-47 went a very different direction. twz.com/air/why-does-t…

@tobinimbu 谢谢巴西的便宜牛肉大豆和小麦🫡合作愉快

Toda essa treta de Brasil vs Japão e Coreia do Sul só me fez lembrar do pq eu prefiro a China

@clashreport @grok Is it ai or a real photo？

Trump:

@Currentreport1 This is what "traitor" means. Someone proudly says that he causes "his" people to die and hurt.

JUST IN: Reza Pahalvi says his visit to Israel 2 years ago was one of the key reasons the US and Israel later attacked Iran. 'I think one of the main reasons Israel and the US became involved with Iran over the past few months was the trip I made to Israel 2 years ago'

@sentdefender Reminds me of the Korean who deliberately interrupt peace negotiation during Korean War. History just repeats itself.

The White House has now confirmed that U.S. Vice President JD Vance will no longer be departing Washington tonight for technical talks Friday in Switzerland with Iran, citing “logistics” involving the delegation from Iran. This announcement follows Israel’s refusal to withdraw from large areas it currently occupies in Southern Lebanon, a stark challenge to the recent Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between Iran and the United States.

@TruthTrumpPost be smart and don't ask "why is there a crisis"🤔

JUST NOW: The global energy crisis is officially dissolving as President Trump confirms that heavy international tankers, packed with millions of barrels of oil, have begun moving freely out of the newly reopened Strait of Hormuz. Following the U.S.-Iran peace treaty, the lifting of the naval blockade has reopened a key global maritime chokepoint

@frontalpha_eth @DavidLiptonWI @GlennLuk Well you have drones with 2nm chips now, and you must have crushed the Houthis and Iran whose chips are worse than 12nm now, right?

"The refining tech only in one country." The article in the OP is literally about Lynas producing samarium oxide in Malaysia last month. "Legacy node technology continued to have enduring relevance." The strategic gap China is trying to close isn't legacy, it's frontier. In great power competition, does the 12nm washing machine chip drone win, or the 2nm agentic hunter-seeker dart drone?

The U.S.-China geopolitical competition can be boiled down to a race to see which will close the high-volume production/manufacturing gap first: the U.S. in a variety of rare earths and other commodities vs. China in advanced chip manufacturing. The U.S. closing the gap in Samarian is conceptually equivalent to China closing the gap in some advanced SME process stage (e.g. metrology).

@ArtharsFF14 you mean that as a CHINESE playtester, I don't choose to leak it to my 群友 via QQ but log in to 4chan and talk about it using native American English?

@tony7978 no one believes him🙃

트럼프는 이스라엘게 무기를 공급합니다.

@blablablapie @Hicraft295247 yes

@Hicraft295247 Is this what Japan did in China?
