China's Superior Technologies

paRcat writes "Still think China is a land too far away from everything? This article compares some of China's common uses of technology to what we're accustomed to in the West. With the genius traffic lights and the cell phone coverage... I'm kinda jealous."

All fine and dandy unless you believe in freedom of speech in which case you end up in a prison camp giving labor to Nike for the profit of the Chinese "Communist" government.

Re:China will be the next big innovator

Now the US has declared itself as a purtianical Christian country where you are free as long as you aren't gay, etc. I think the US can now excel unhindered in the Christian sciences. Such has mining the bible for info on the age of the earth.
I say: look out world here comes the *new* USA.

Re:A government for the people?

The People's Republic of China is run by one of the most corrupt regimes on the planet. They use torture, rape, and intimidation on a massive, systemic scale.

I take it you've seen for yourself or are you just repeating what the good lord Geedubya told you?

Comparison doesn't count

[bitswapper]

Because it compares Canada and China. Canada's not even a real country, anyway.
Blame Canada!

Re:Count down traffic lights are a really bad idea

The majority of vehicles in the UK have manual gear boxes (stickshift), and any reasonable driver will take it out of gear while waiting at the red light.

I used to live in London (and I was a pedestrian). 75% of drivers start moving on the yellow light.

So your statement is still correct, but "any reasonable driver" doesn't necessary describe a lot of people.
