> They recently announced a "pregnancy mode" in their router product, due to widespread concern about the effect of WiFi signals on the fetus.

That's the worst one of all as it contributes to people making stupider decisions and believing dumb stuff.

it is impossible to get chinese people stop believe these kinds of things even after they move to america most will continue to believe this kind of stuff. They believe all electronic equipment especially computer equipment give off radiation that is harmful to fetus, to combat this they will wear special maternity clothes that are lined with aluminum foil that acts as a faraday cage. if you ever see a pregnant chinese girl wearing weird overalls this is that special clothing, if you put your cell phone in the pocket it will immediately lose all signal. They also believe cactus absorb radiation and will keep them on their desk.

Not a very effective cage at microwave frequencies what with all the gaping holes. Could just as well be a waveguide channeling more radiation onto snowflake. A segway mounted sarcophagus would be more suitable.

In the cell phone of a Chinese, such messages are ubiquitous. Taking the WeChat app by Tencent Inc. for example, I constantly read messages from my parents sharing such nonsense stories. They wouldn't stop even if you complained as their friends and alumnae shared these constantly. Subjects of the nonsense included but were not limited to: a) pseudosciences, e.g., Japanese scientists discovered that water molecules behaved differently when it was being scolded verbally; b) misinformation, like an explosion occurred or a child was taken by human traffickers, which could not be confirmed or the time of which is not specified at all; c) false/suspicious political/historical rumours which favours their targets (i.e. my parents); d) success stories and other click baits.

These stories were poorly made up but easily spread. Some were made in commercial purposes to attract more subscribers so that their network of rumours could expand. You cannot fight them all. You cannot sue them all. You cannot eradicate them all.

Qihoo also has a tight connection with China's GFW

Qihoo is one the notorious companies in China which block Google. It is ridiculous its article published in golang.org.

Qihoo was known to help Chinese govt preventing people from bypassing GFW, but not the one blocks Google.

The one suspected notorious Company which helped GFW to grow is Baidu.

Try google Qi Xiangdong, president of Qihoo, and inventor of some GFW patents.

, which is not worse than Google/MSFT/Facebook having tighter connections with NSA PRISM.

You have definitely NO idea what you are talking about. Chinese government can directly read all your emails and private messages from a Chinese internet company without any legal requirement at all, and leaves no record.
