Mainland Chinese and Honkees already have raoming GSM chips i.e. cell phone chips that work from Beijing to Singapore. they do not CHANGE chips when they cross the border.
HK has 6 million people who mostly DO NOT want to move to mainland China, pop 1.3 billion and growing. Their consumer spending impacts have little to no impact on pricing strategies of any company
ditto, i live in China....
I love the comments on slash about China, especially the one in this topic about a "new" dialect developing about 30yrs ago that allows all chinese to communicate......mandarin
it should be more like what impart has AMERICAN and EUROPEAN technology had on China. Hong Kong produces virtually no original technology and from a technology commercial standpoint is more or less just a coven of American and European tech. company sales offices.......which have subsequently have opened offices and tech parks in Shanghai and Beijing.
funny, but true. china.com owns the domains taiwan.com and hongkong.com and run respective portals in each market. In mainland China, China.com a Hong Kong based company with AOL backing has a joint venture with Chinese government publishing/news organ known as Xinhua, jointventure is called CWW. Oddly enough Xinhua, despite having a JV with China.com have been reported to have blocked China.com within mainland China. hope this answers your question
Not again.....this China market myth has been going on since the days of Marco Polo. People have to realize that 99% of people in China couldnt even afford a computer , let alone an operating system. 70% of the populace still worries about three square a day and a roof over their heads while working in a rice field. Linux has great potential in China, TurboLinux leading the charge already, but it is hardly a tool for some of these half-assed "conspiracy theories" I keep reading about. oh and the hackers that were sentenced to death, I believe that was because they used their computing prowess to embezell $ from a local bank. Hey , Im against capital punsihment, but dont be mislead to think that these people were sentenced solely for cracking, they were sentenced for stealing
oh boo hoo, I know squat about programming and can recompile my kernel....just your average computer user who decided to take stab at Linux and loving it. Give it a try, it wont bite! Im your suppossed home user/dabbler and have been using Slackware (suppossedly the most user unfriendly distro out there) and have been frustrated a million times, but getting things to work is not unsurmountable....ok ok tak eth eesay way out
