@stats_feed If we investigate the percent of world GDP, India's share is about 2~3%, didn't change for more than 40 years. However, there were so many projections for the futuristic prosper of India. Kinda like marketing propaganda of financial groups.
Under the new Restrict Act ("ban TikTok act") VPN users face 20 years in jail and a $1mio fine if they evade US internet censorship.
Compared to this, the great firewall of china looks like a picket fence 😨 E.g. VPN are largely tolerated (used one for 7 years with no issue).
@DanielDumbrill North American colonists really did these thing to natives - like corpses under the church, and as expected, they always judge others by their own values - 以己度人。
@Kanthan2030 3 hours is normal. Distance from Beijing to Shanghai is about 1300 km by rail, the travel time varies from 4.5 hours to 6.5 hours, it depends on the number of stops and the time of each stops.
@latimes@dhpierson Chinese are victims of cybercrimials also, which originated from taiwan, just like 'Prince' fraud in US mainly from India. So, this is rather a propaganda than a news.
@Kanthan2030@alvinfoo - scholarship 10 years ago, when i enrolled college. It seems cheaper to go to college than to go to middle school in China, in my case, college is free.
@Kanthan2030@alvinfoo That depends, 14,000 surely be enough, but 'living expense' vary vastly nowadays, colledge students get from their parents 1,000 to 10,000 per month. Meals under 20 a day, and food is very good; Books also very cheap, about 20~50 a textbook i think. Actually, over 60% received -
@Kanthan2030@alvinfoo The tuition is around ¥5,000 a year for most of Chinese universities, even in THU or PKU - the top 2, and take no extra charges for addtional credits/courses/2nd degrees etc. The accommodation fee is less than ¥1000 per semester.
@Kanthan2030 In fact, india's share of the world GDP is very steady & low, like 3~5%. - "Sail against the current. If you don't advance, you will fall back. " Chinese proverb "逆水行舟,不进则退"
