Greetings from Hanoi. The Vietnamese in general view the USA quite favorably. Much more so than they feel about China which is regularly killing their fishermen and destroying VN oil and mineral development facilities. The 1000 years of Chinese occupation seems to have also left a bit of a bad taste.

Immigrants intend to become citizens of their new country. Expats work there under temporary residence conditions and return home or to their next posting when done.

Do I get to be fruit bat Bluey?

My kids would love this for the Switch and I would be pretty stoked about it too

Covering the big three: Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism generally gets majority of the current worst offenders. But notes about the extremists version of Judaism, Buddhism, and other should be made too.

I’m sure that will go just as well as the one in Sri Lanka

I haven’t liked iPhones in over a decade. The locked down OS, iTunes, no MicroSD, etc just make them a non-starter for me. Android is far from perfect but I cannot stand to use an iPhone. My wife loves hers and so do some of my in-laws but I won’t be getting one.

Emperor Xi will Make China Great Again and will crush any and all that attempt to stop him.

One step at a time. When manufacturing moved out of the USA. The assembly/most labor intensive went first then later the supply chain. The same thing is happening with China. We started to built our first finished goods factory in Vietnam in 2007, we developed some local component suppliers a few years after that. Every couple of years another component is either moved to Vietnam or sourced from somewhere other than China. We now have three finished goods factories in Vietnam, six component suppliers in Vietnam, and another six outside of China. We are gradually untangling ourselves from China.

Or were forced out due to pressures in the country. We were being forced to move out of the Shanghai suburbs and into a neighboring developing province. As a result we moved the bulk of our manufacturing to Vietnam with a limited amount of production still in China.

this is from years ago

Lack of interest in the form factor. Too thick when folded. Folds are too large for one hand when open. Cost is high for the chip sets and memory.

This is the 6 year olds first game system. She is really digging it

Why stay connected with a toxic and abusive partner.

Opening up options for immigration that allow a reasonably easy path to citizenship would help.

So basically be more like northern EU.

I’m using Jerboba until things shake out more.

SCMP should be considered nothing more than another one of Beijing’s media mouthpieces these days. While the report may be without bias, the SCMP cannot be trusted to quote it honestly.
