Mullvad works, sometimes with some issues, but make sure you set it up before you go. Otherwise there is shadowsocks which is more of a proxy than a VPN. It doesn't help anonymize you as well in the US, but is more reliable in China. You can use an app called clash which works for most devices, there are others eg nekkoray which works on linux. These are mostly just different graphical user interfaces, the main thing is to make sure you either get or set up the proxy and have an app that uses an up to date protocol for it.
Also worth noting, if you have a US sim card, it will probably work for foreign websites and the like while in China. Depending on your data plan, eg. You might have unlimited but very slow data abroad, that can be a good backup in case something is not working.
On a similar note, you could look into getting a sim card from Hong Kong, which should allow you to use it for stuff in China while also having fast data and access to blocked websites.
Congrats on going to China, Chengdu is a great city. Make sure you take the opportunity to visit other places too, with the high speed train (and regular train if you want to save money) it's really easy to visit other cities & provinces and definitely worth taking advantage of.
They are right, AI is approaching the reasoning of EU leaders, but that's a function of their lack of reasoning. AI hallucinates and always believes itself to be correct, so do they.
Yes, The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) is an agency basically dedicated to trying to alleviate the humanitarian crisis genocide Israel created and perpetuates. Obviously that's inconvenient for Israel, so it doesn't like UNRWA.
That might be misleading. It's pretty easy to get a work visa, which you can use to stay indefinitely, got to renew it though. Getting permanent residence is harder to qualify for, but if you've been in China for a while it's easier. lots of people just stay in China very long periods of time on work visas.
The point that the US might be able to restore manufacturing if it was automated is also absurd. Just look at the stats of industrial robots installed in the countries with the most.
Of course, the lesson from this for the Brits will be to try to increase armaments, rather than, I don't know, learning to coexist with their nuclear neighbors?
I know a wealthy Chinese family, their kid has US citizenship, but I can tell they are starting to have a crisis. They clearly recognize things are getting worse in the US, but they have invested a lot of time and money into the US, such as buying a house and getting green cards. Despite that, they have not opted to have their kid go to school in China. Even those Chinese people that are the most receptive to the US and it's propaganda, those wealthy libs with vested interest, are recognizing it.
This made me think about comparing the experience with how it's done in China. Most convenience stores have a small terminal where you can self scan and scan your phone to pay. There are probably cameras, but definitely no sign accusing people of stealing. Then again crime is less common in large part because of people having economic opportunities. That said, there's nearly always someone there, and grocery stores generally don't use an automated system.
Logging in to comment that this is absolutely the case, also for EU biotech. The scale of innovation and reliance on said innovations by the west isn't being overstated on the video.
I discussed this with a former leading biotech insider that moved to China because of this. The big western firms have become rent extracting through purchasing IP of medicine developed in China. They don't do much research any more, and once upon a time when they did do it, the research was profit centric.
The recently I talked to a Chinese banker in one of the biggest Chinese banks. We where walking around a beautiful park, which also had a public library in it overlooking the park. A very nice public space overall. Anyway, in the library there was a stack of The Governance of China (third volume) by Xi Jinping on one table. So we talked about it, and it turns out the bankers in China read this book, have classes/study sessions, and try to find ways to implement Xi Jinping thought. Imagine calling a country capitalist when bankers read communist theory and have study sessions for it. That's China; not a capitalist country, but a socialist country where the party is doing it's best to develop material conditions, and they have largely been successful.
May you Find X8, Oppo.
