WhatsApp has always been working in China. There was never a time it was banned. Hell, even Wikipedia is accessible without using a VPN!

Name one chinese product that is better?
Start by comparing the Apple to any chinese smart phone brand out there.
And who assembles apple gadgets? ?

lololololol
So assembling basic body parts that is fabricated by machines is what make apple what it is? The most important part of your phone or laptop is the plastic casing?
If Nigeria solves the problem of electricity and labour remains cheap, apple would bring their assembly plant to Nigeria and employ secondary school drop-outs to help them assemble it.
That is how simple it is.

Don't believe every junk you read. Wikipedia (for mobile devices) works properly in China. Attached is a screen shot I just captured off my phone. Regarding China's ambitious plans for its own version of Wikipedia, I think it is a step in the right direction for them. I wish Nigeria would borrow a leaf from China on how to run a country effectively, and make it a force to reckon with.

If China sells how to run a country effectively, trust me, Nigeria will run it out of stock buh painless, dey dnt sell it. As for borrowing a leaf frm China, I doubt if a leaf will be okay coz we like big big things here angry

That's exactly what it should be. If Nigeria manufactures every foreign product it relies on then unemployment will reduce to 0.1%.

That guy simply does not understand. China is a great country, but there is nothing they are better than Britain or Russia or USA at. They have a great economy and they are doing well for themselves, but that's about it.

All their technology is copied.

As for apple, assembly in China is as a result on only one thing: cheap labour! Nothing else. The brain behind those powerful brands are Americans.

This does not take away from the fact that China is great, but comparing them to the US in anything whatsoever, to the point of saying they are better, is pure madness.

Which world power bans its people from visiting sites ?

Just commit a world crime and you'll realize how easy you're to track. They have your daily routine movements.
I'm speaking of security risk and exposure to cyber attack on a micro and macro level.

You are changing the subject, here was your original claim:

China and other world powers realize the power SM wields which is why the allow little or no exposure to these sites. Not because they're backwards but because theyre forward thinking.

Don't try to mask your wrong assertion in "regular guys" mantra.
If you aren't a regular guy yourself, you should be able to differentiate
between security risk posed by hackers and a government spying and
banning its citizens from accessing some websites.

Yes, there are security risks involved with using the internet
as it is expected of such complex systems,
guess what the greatest risk to citizens freedom and privacy ?
It is the same repressive governments you praised for banning their
citizens from using certain websites.

People who are truly concerned about their security will completely
disconnect from the internet.

Apparently you love to argue for argument sake. Cos you just validated my assertion, same one you adjudged to be wrong.

Guess your bone of contention with my post can be fractured to my seemingly aloof undertone, albeit unintentional. Of cos I'm guilty of SM frenzy, but to an extent at least on my own terms.

My point having been clearly articulated can be reiterated further as China's ban is security measure to protect itself from cyber infiltration especially via SM.

You make the wrong claim again, so I will assume you aren't versed
in cyber security and its implications.

China isn't banning the internet, it is more concerned with preventing
citizens from visiting certain sites that contains ideas it deemed "dangerous"
to the state.

A state with one of the largest state-sponsored hackers in the world coupled
with solid internet surveillance can't be said to be concerned about
its citizens security or privacy.

The workforce here being cheap labour. The united states cannot match their cheap labour.
Labour is very expensive in the united states. China has billions of people under communism, so they can afford to have very cheap labour sometimes even using child workers. If you try that in america, you will spend a long time in prison.
And the most important thing about electronic devices are the softwares. That is where the 98% of the intellectual work is done.
That is why it is called an american phone. Because the operating software which is what makes apple superior to other brands is an american technology.
Your laptop or phone is what it is because of the software, not because of the plastic casing.

You need to get properly informed. Asia is not the hub of technology.
China is the hub for cheap labour and industrial manufacturing, but it is definitely not the hub of technology.
Name one chinese car, phone or laptop, or airplane that is world class and widely used.? Which would you choose between an infinix phone and an apple or an american dell laptop and whatever chinese brand is out there?
So how can they be the hub of technology when their products is not the leading global standards.? Their only advantage is their enormously cheap labour and the fact that they have a decent degree of technical ability.
The hub of technology is Europe and America.
Re: China Is Launching It's Own Version Of Wikipedia by chukxie(m): 6:27am On May 21, 2017
I see a lot of argument about which is better - America or China? Funny how we argue for or against nations that are light years ahead of our country. You guys should spend more time to think why the manufacturing sector in Nigeria is almost dead rather than wasting time bickering back and forth on what China's doing or isn't doing.
