You are correct that per capita doesn't matter to the global climate but it's only relevant because regulations are enforced on a nation-based fashion.

As a Chinese national living in the U.S., I would like my fellow countryperson to have the same standard of living as an average American does. Unfortunately this view is not shared by many Americans, including Obama [0].

[0] "...if over a billion Chinese citizens have the same living patterns as Australians and Americans do right now then all of us are in for a very miserable time, the planet just can't sustain it": https://www.abc.net.au/7.30/face-to-face-with-obama/2673356

"The Snapdragon 888 wins in terms of CPU performance while the Kirin 9000 seems to be the one with the better GPU and AI capabilities. However, there are other factors to consider such as power efficiency where the Kirin 9000 already does excellently well as shown in our review video. So until there is an in-depth device-to-device comparison, we can’t say which chipset is the clear winner." [0]

Native Chinese speaker here.

I'm not sure I understand your point. Without keeping up with the new memes, IME still let people type them (it's simply not as easy when IME does not auto-suggest the new combination, users can manually select each Chinese character).

Regarding "an informal ambiguous layer", are you implying there is something more fundamental/low-level than the Chinese characters used in communication? If so, what is that?

Disclaimer: I'm a China national.

You seems to be implying that there is no real users protesting against this game (and/or the Xi memes) but this is definitely not true. I've seen plenty of real people complaining about the references in that game, mostly on Weibo.

Regarding Taiwan, CCP does put pressure on companies but this feeling/motivation is (almost unanimously) shared by the people in China.

My point is, simply brushing off the "real" voices coming from ordinary people in China and claiming they don't exist are not very substantive and won't help understand them. For example there is one question I asked myself during the protest against that game: Why do my fellow countryperson take a meme directly at Xi an insult to them?

Another angle for car companies to develop their own tech might be (claimed) competitive edge.

Not many car manufacturer would market the airbags, breaks or tires as superior. However, car makers that develop their own engine constantly brag about how efficient or powerful their cars are compared to their competitors (e.g. Mazda and their Skyactiv, Toyota and their Hybrid).

As a Chinese national and frequent Zhihu user, this comment is probably satire...

I would also like to say the idea that this system has to be changed/replaced is generally agreed upon.

Google engineer not working on Waymo, opinions are my own.

I think "driverless" here is different from "self-driving", i.e. 'Waymo uses “driverless” here to refer to operations in which the ADS controls the vehicle for the entire trip without a human driver (whether in the vehicle or at a remote location) expected to assume any part of the driving task.' at page 5 of that report.

I think this driverless mode is only available to public on Oct 8th [0].

Discrimination against any culture or race is also a form or bias.

"Raw objectivity" would be this instance says a lot about the common nature of human beings, the consequences of lack of accountability and oversight etc.

Drawing conclusion on Chinese people requires either strong empirical evidence, or prejudice.
