Malaysia government bans The Battle at Lake Changjin film for 'promoting communism'. Yeah, the film does portray the CPC just too positively for Malaysian govt censors. This govt, who readily welcomes Zakir Naik for political asylum. A controversial Salafi Islam figure who has promoted Salafi ideas and Islamic terrorism. Yeah, apparently those ideas are healthier for Malaysians.

This just further confirms that the real stance of the Malaysian govt is Sinophobic, despite the mix messages they have sent out. I have no doubt in my mind. This is not a new development. The Malaysian education system for decades, teaches and brainwashes school kids to be anti-communist. They also have literature that describes Ming Dynasty China as being 'divinely' beneath the Malaysian Sultanate. Old habits just die hard.

Decades ago, I was surprised that Japanese came all the way to buy Japanese goods in Singapore.
They say the quality of export models are better.

Later I came to realised this is true, after watching what a drinks bottler(Big International but forgot the name) and a Knitting Machine manufacturer were doing.

The logic is they are able to rectify better and much cheaper if product faults develop at where it is produced and therefore the QC is relaxed vs those meant for export.
Especially for the Knitting Machine manufacturer who had to fly 2 technicians with spare parts overseas and hotel expenses.

When Singapore had a lot of Hard Disk manufacturers, e.g. Seagate, they sold most of their borderline defective Harddisk at the local retail stores.
The big PC manufacturers like Dell had their own QC stationed at Seagate factory floor to make sure they get the best, so not a problem for them.

To know quality of a product, do not check with the DIY who have experience with tens of the product.
Check with the people at the Service Center of the product.
I have experience with LG where different models are found to be better or worse and which models have a high return rate.

You have to be acquainted with them though, as their service personel are couched to say they are not aware of the high return rate and you are the first one he/she have encountered with this problem.
That may backfire though when customer realise others at the Service Center are having the same problem.
Or you sit at the Service Center and witness the long queues of unhappy customers.

Can we not quote tweets from these balding white men who just want to lob ad hominem mortars at China?
But why? That post actually generated many interesting feedbacks

. Without someone posted here we might never know its existence.

And I don't mind they have the fallacy thinking in this aspect, at least such idea will give them the better sense of peace, feel secured not feel threatened by the "much hyped" China's rise -- just look at Shanghai, its center of economy and finance... West Virginia is still better!

OT In China does the licence to buy an ICE vehicle only apply to the vehicle that I am buying, and no subsequent ones for whatever reason such as worn out or damaged beyond repair in an accident?
Sorry I dun quite understand the question. You mean Chinese need to have a driving licence to a vehicle?

No sure what you are trying to ask, but once a Chinese citizen pass the C1 driver's test, there is a year of probationary driving period until said driver is allowed to be on highways, and receive he's full driving license, and a driver with C1 driver's license is allowed to operate any vehicle defined as C class (there's C2, C3, C4) be it as automatic or manual, and the driver can buy and drive any vehicle that's within the definition of such class, some cars might not meet the local standard so it would be hard or impossible to register a plate for it, in some province due to carbon emission goals or traffic congestion, the west love to spin these restriction into nonsense anti-China propaganda such as Chinese can not afford to buy a car, I mean even the post grad college kids can afford a Wuling mini EV for crying out loud
