You get what you pay for.
Get a Huawei mate 9 or the pro version, it's good enough to compete with the best western phones.
The crappy ones you wrote about are bad because the profit margins on them are very low due to cheap price.
Storage and distribution is also important. Strategic storage by government is needed to keep prices stable.
I know of one country where storage is simply piling bags of grain in the fields and chucking a tarp over it. Needless to say, a lot of it is simply wasted while millions starve in said...
Its a low level job paying, 400 USD per month goes a long way in China, especially when housing is provided free.
People earning minimum wage in the U.S might make more dollar wise but will barely make rent and have to live off instant noodles and hot dog grade foods.
Then again, a lot of...
Despite the brutality of the invaders and overwhelming advantage in equipment and technology, China never surrendered unlike the French.
Reading of the war does not make me proud, sadness is by far what I feel.
I hope that all fellow Chinese never forget and to do some self reflection. I...
Battle of Taierzhuang 1938
The battle of Taierzhuang was fought just over 80 years ago and in a few days on April 8 will mark the 81st anniversary of the first major Chinese victory against Japan.
China stood alone then and fought on against extreme odds while France surrenders in 1940 to Nazi...
I went through a serious bout of depression back in 2004-2005. Considered suicide even.
All I can recommend is to look after your health by exercising and to practice mindfulness by watching out for negativity. In time you will be able to catch yourself before succumbing to negativity.
Be...
If you want to experience a south Asian country with rich culture and Buddhist traditions then I would recommend Sri Lanka.
If you can hold your own in a fight then India is an option because there is a lot to see and experience there.
Since when does the opinions of others matter?
Lao Tzu is right. When you worry about what other think you become their prisoner.
Humility is often confused with weakness when its the opposite.
You are absolutely right.
Humility will lead to Chinese greatness. Pride always comes before the fall.
And how did the Qing dynasty lose Hong Kong in the first place?
It was humility and the egalitarian values of the communist movement that saved China and made China strong today. The proud...
Everything takes time my delusional friend.
The South Koreans poured their collective hearts and effort to get their Chaebols to where they are today. Where were Chinese phones just 5 years ago? Now Huawei makes top end phones good enough to compete with the best in the high end market.
Made...
He he
Wish I was there. I would of made off with a wheelbarrow full.
The Tao is a corner stone of Chinese civilization. I honestly believe that adherence to Taoist teachings will propel China to be the greatest civilization. Again.
Failure to acquire the virtues emphasized by lao Tzu will...
Whats your point?
Gotta start somewhere and a state backed champion like Samsung accounts for around 20 percent of all South Korean exports. The Chaebols in Korea are huge and monopolistic, like a towering tree that stops smaller ones from growing nearby.
BTW, how many Amoled panels does India...
Western dragons have larger bodies with a long neck and long tail + reptilian wings. Chinese dragons have a long sinuous body like a snake and a lions mane.
Oddly enough the dragon banner in the western fantasy series 'the wheel of time' is a Chinese dragon.
Let the dragon ride again on the...
I like Xi, he is the strongman right for the leaderhip role.
But rules are rules and extending his term sets a precedent that could backfire many decades later.
Better to be safe and end after a decade.
