Sorry for the late response ๐Ÿ˜…

But to put it briefly, I was just kinda fascinated by the Chinese tech scene. Specifically the smartphone market post-2019 huawei ban. That led me into learning about china infrastructure efforts.

I don't think I'd call myself "pro-china." I'm not "pro-any country." But I think that it's genuinely a pretty neat place I'd like to visit someday.

PS, this video is really fucking cool ๐Ÿ˜

Clickbaity title, but I found it super informative.

I gotta say. As a someone who was a teen fully deep in the "China bad" propaganda machine, I really don't get the fears that Americans have about China. It's a country like any other. At least they have healthcare kekw.

This is exactly what I was looking for... Thank you so much. I was so close to paying for redact to deal with this.

I'm not gonna lie, as a 6'4" guy, I can't stand small phones. I understand that I'm an outlier though, and wish there were more options to cater to more people.
