It looks amazing but unfortunately there seem to be no English subtitles :/ (I’m just starting to learn Chinese.)

What about TOR?

Here in Greece we have raging wildfires for yet another summer, one enormous fire (30km 40km wide) raging so close to the capital the smoke has enveloped the sky in many parts of the city, and the lib government praises itself over its “quick reaction time”. Very few precautions have been taken since last year, so now fire fighters are risking their lives to contain the crisis, working for more than 24h in a row, unfortunately without much success. Some buildings (mainly houses) have already been burnt by the fire, fortunately no casualties for now.

Thanks for sharing! This mostly mirrors my own short experience in PRC (a short visit to Shanghai). Can’t wait for a chance to visit China again!

Nature, technology, buildings, culture, the museums, the people, just about everything is amazing.

Some problems I encountered as a non-Chinese person, and tips to overcome them, for anyone interested in visiting China to be ready for:

1. Connecting to the Internet, even to Wi-Fi, requires verification with a Chinese SIM card. I didn’t care to get one in time so I was mostly offline for much of the time.
2. Many people, especially older people, don’t know foreign languages, esp. English. You can use the great voice recognition translator in the AliPay app, but you need Internet for that.
3. Don’t forget to bring an adaptor for the power outlets!

Also, for anyone who wants to buy theory books in PRC: unfortunately literature in foreign languages seems extremely scarce, since the vast majority of books is of course in Chinese. Only once did I find an English translation of Xi’s works.

The problem is not voting itself. It is the bourgeois “democracy” framework it is often implemented in, which provides safeguards against change.

I’d say, especially on a foggy day. The mist perfectly complements the scenic beauty with just a hint of mystery and romance.
