As an aside, Huawei poured a lot of funds in R&D, and those scientists and mathematicians they hired from Russia/France etc,. helped significantly to their breakthroughs.
Same here, and some definitions named by people's names. I totally understand the need to attribute and respect people's work, but a more descriptive name is almost always easier to remember and talk about.
This one at least has the justification that there often aren't any words. When you're hip-deep in topology, grabbing graph theory with your right hand and algebra with your left, you've left English way behind anyhow.
Now we just need to go back in time and convince Euler and Grothendieck to pretty-please either discover fewer things, or change their names every couple of years or something.
China was a pure communist country before the reform.
To keep the name, they had to attach it to a different interpretation.
when it comes to respecting the authority,
「王侯將相,寧有種乎!」is a pretty common value to Chinese people. can be partially translated as "When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman？--John Ball".
The people who was drafted for army was moving to the designated place. But due to the flooding, it is obvious they can't reach the place by the deadline. The penalty to miss the deadline is, by any means, death.
By facing the certain and unfair death penalty ahead of them, they decided the uprising. Saying.
王侯將相寧有種乎, "The king, loads, generals or ministers, Is there the seed for them?(no it isn't)"
In the end, they(the leaders, 陳勝 and 呉広) couldn't complete the the revolution. But the uprising movements continues and 秦 era was ended soon after.
> Ever since the 1950s, the Chinese government has continually threatened the British in attempting to bring any democratic developments in Hong Kong. Attempts to bring Hong Kong citizens on to the negotiating table by the British during the Sino-Anglo discussions were rejected by Beijing in the late 1980s. The last governor Chris Patten faced a great deal of opposition in changing the former colony's political system.
The guy was bashed by a lot of people on social media.
Class mobility will stagnate even more if English was not studied at public curriculum.
I would say everyone need at least trying another language to gain a different perspective, it does work. And it has net benefit for the mass to against propaganda, slanted media reports and xenophobia etc,.
Moreover, It seems we lose the ability to do something without completely understand that when we grow up, learning languages helps us sort of regain that kind of skill.
Yup, China built railroads and other infrastructure at a relatively low price in Africa, they have no scruples. Not to mention died dozens of workers in 80s. Some Western companies are plumbing oil in Africa, they are moral heros.
I'm sure, and that's an abomination. Violence is never the right means, but an entire minority does not become violent on their own until they feel they are desperate enough to perform these attacks in some futile effort to preserve things (culture) that means something to them or revenge for abusive actions taken against them.
If China was peacefully coexisting with them and allowing them to perform their religion freely, it makes no sense that they would feel the need to attack random civilians.
Would you say the same thing about those from Muslim countries who have engaged in terrorist activities against the US? Many of them travelled half of the globe over to carry out the attack and many were willing to sacrifice their own lives.
that's always what Western talked about the terrorism attacks in China. If the same thing happened in China, it's not terrorist, but fighting for freedom, while, if it happened in any west countries, it called extremist terrorism. If you don't care innocent Chinese people, why they would care your opinion? Who give your right to ignore the death of hundreds civilian's to maintain a fake peaceful appearance.
Said attacks were spontaneous reactions to racist treatments that pushed the people over the edge. The gov response was in turn over the top and further exacerbated the situation. People were fighting... _for their lives__.
The UK also did something similar with rubber - originally it was a product closely guarded by Brazil but a "bio-pirate" stole samples and they were then planted widely within the Empire - with Malaya going on to become the top producer:
The history of silk production is similarly full of continuous theft between cities and countries, from China to Turkey to Italy and beyond. Some cities tried harder than others to keep their secrets, but “theft” eventually happened anyway.
Although China is a vibrant place it is still a developing country. not on par with stable developed countries. Speaking of guanxi, many new rich had gotten almost none but their tech talent.
I guess at least they don't pretend to be interested in funding or collaborating with another company before stealing, say, design/code/algorithms from them. Or are there any anecdotes about these big conglomerates doing disgraceful things like that as well?
