MIUI is once again a skin ontop of Android. Should Google change the way APK's are handled and not release Android x.x to say Xiaomi (guys behind MIUI) they'd be stuck in the dark ages and would need a new operating system to fork on. Read more

The Chinese themselves lament it. =[ Read more

Lets see...There's the Ministry of Propaganda, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, General Administration of Press Publication Film Radio and Television. Chinese government entities are all Administration of that, or Ministry of this. Read more

Interesting points. But even if China does create it's own operating system, what's to say that users will flock to it?

The prevaling thought that Smartison OS was meant to be an Android fork, the reason was that it would open up the massive troves Apps available on Android.

The Chinese OS race is game of catch up - for… Read more

Red Flag, when i saw it running was terrible. Chinese tech reporters all agree on one thing. If these domestic operating systems can't run a basic .exe or .dmg file without a linux wrap around them, no one would use them. There is no ecosystem for them to flourish. Read more

Is it that bad?

I only ever fly Air China now. I fly China Airlines to Taipei, I fly United to the States, and i fly China Airlines to Japan. Domestically, I fly Air China. This all happened after a weird flight on Macau Air. Read more

As Kotaku's resident Kim look-alike, i'm getting fatter too >_> Read more

Anti Japan are definitely stronger =[

I agree, i think sony will do gangbusters. Alot of it has to do with Sony having had an established foothold with Playstation in Hong Kong and Taiwan and mainland users having games via the gray market from those locations. Read more

You know...I think you're right. but I can't help but think this is going in the right direction of opening things up a bit more. I also think this has a lot to do with app publishing which the government wants to put their fingers into as well! Read more

I like your sarcasm and I counter with Chards are something all together different. This is Chinese Cabbage which is the same as western cabbage except that it looks like chard but it tastes like Cabbage.

It's cabbage!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napa_cabb… Read more

It looks good Jason! But what's the deal with all the horns?! Sounds like Inception!

They're more reliable when it comes to bat shit insane stories.

I mean, if a story just looks too good to be true and it's no political or sensitive in anyway, the Chinese press would definitely jump on it. You point that yourself, the environment is so unreliable and censored that if there's something like this they… Read more

=]! at least he or his descendants creates Cabbage Corp! Read more

It's not THAT bad. Someone in plain clothes will show up and stop you. You'll be questioned on the scene and explained why you shouldn't do it. Tour guides who take you Tiananmen will tell you this, it's best not to pour water over yourself in major Beijing tourist locations, and Chinese train stations. ***First hand… Read more

hmmm... I can't call them a rip-off but seriously, these guys need to do some real work. They could be ripping Kotaku off - other media. It's pretty bad. Read more

really?! My stories? or Kotaku Stories?! Link me! My ego needs to be stroked. Read more

hmm... sounds interesting. I always thought of time off in China to not really be time off...

For instance, in the US some people get long vacations off. I remember I was able to get away with Christmas all the way to New Years Day and I didn't have to make up the days. For instance, days off are days off.

But in China,… Read more

Amen to that brother, amen to that. Read more
