This was definitely great news for Thailand. Especially after the capsized boat last week where 60+ people died.

Yup. When the Chinese remake a product, it's called copying. But when others copy a product, it's called "remaking."

So unless you "create" a completely new language or chipset, you are merely just "building" things?

What kind of "censorship" though? Wouldn't excessive patent laws and lawsuits be a kind of censorship?

By that token, the average Chinese person is more free than they would have been 50 years ago. I don't think people realize how restrictive China was back then and how free they are now.

Sure, they still have a long way to go, but to say that they are getting "less free" is incorrect.

Ask any Chinese if they would rather live under Mao vs living now.

To those that are unfamiliar with the Chinese terms,

- 差不多 culture (Chàbùduō) = Fail Fast, Fail Often Culture

- rely on 关系 here (Guānxì) = rely on the old boy network here
