lol at how many of the listed films are from Taiwan

The ones that aren't, seem to have some manner of pattern ( Zhang Yimou period pieces starring Gong Li).

OS design with Chinese characteristics?

http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/05/chinese-arm-vendor-left-developer-backdoor-in-kernel-for-android-pi-devices/

Allwinner, a Chinese system-on-a-chip company that makes the processor used in many low-cost Android tablets, set-top boxes, ARM-based PCs, and other devices, apparently shipped a version of its Linux kernel with a ridiculously easy-to-use backdoor built in. All any code needs to do to gain root access is send the text "rootmydevice" to an undocumented debugging process.

Chinese language films that are both good and made inside China by Chinese directors is a pretty small category. Jie Jiangke is cool. Zhang Yimou is sometimes cool. hmm

Taiwan alone has Hou Hsiaohsien, Edward Yang, Tsai Mingliang, Ang Lee...

Anyone who knows a lot about poo poo want to give me a basic rundown on the 1992 consensus? Like...from reading modern PRC news it sounds like the worst thing Taiwan could ever have done, because they buckle down so hard on that as Taiwan agreeing. Was it just the KMT at the time getting bullied into doing it while most of the country probably didn't want it to happen? Was it some minor token thing from Taiwan's perception that the PRC has blown wildly out of proportion?

It's a thing that wasn't used at all nor well known by anyone back in 1992. It was turned into a full on diplomatic doctrine by China and KMT in the early 2000. Actual popular usage and relevancy didn't begin until 2008 or so.

It stated that "there is only one China", but Taiwan (Republic of China) and PRC can have their own definition of what this statement actually meant. It's purposely ambiguous to the point where people in power can make it means whatever they want.

It's dumb. KMT is dumb. China is dumb.

What are the chances that Wang Yi knows anything or can do anything at all? I get the feeling he is very confused and he probably just is given like one page of talking points that he says through a translator, then he shakes the hand for a photo and gives a confused look at the camera

It's dumb. KMT is dumb. China is dumb.

Its purpose was to a. kick the can down the road, and b. let both sides save face. With respect to those goals, it has done pretty well.

This one was posted around the same time as the other one. I remember the original Chinese article's comment section was filled with lame excuses as to why the Chinese girl failed so hard to analyze Chinese literature.

Probably came into use after the DPP won the 2000 election and people thought they may try for independence.

The BBC were discussing the whole incident on the radio and it was hilarious, they found people who had been to China and asked their experiences of Chinese people (guess their replies) and then actually found a Chinese pr chap to defend the country and not only did he say that it was actually the British that were rude, but that Chinese drivers were better and less aggressive than the British!

they stole the ps4 design for the console itself and the UI



quote:

The software design harkens back to the PlayStation. Blogger and analyst ZhugeEx noted that many of the features of Fuze’s Android-based operating system have direct analogs on the PS4:

“It’s clear that the company have pretty much ripped off the design rather than creating their own unique take,” he writes. “It’s very much a complete copy with the home page having the exact same social and news features that the PS4 home page does, even the game store looks exactly the same with all the text and other interfaces in the exact place you’d find it on PS4.”
