Re:China’s Economy Slows Sharply on Saturday December 15, 2018 @12:47AM (#18687258)

As a Chinese grew up in China and have been living in US in recent years, I am already used to how US media reports about China. The bottom line: I have not seen _any_ US media reporting China truthfully. NPR is usually the worst, but others not much better.

What happens is that, because of untruthful reporting in US media, people in US does not know or understand what's going on in China. It seems a miracle that such a big country grew like crazy in 30 years without democracy. But if you how much average Chinese invest in their education and how hard they work, you will not be surprised.

The only real problem China is facing is its political system, not its economy. Compared to improving the political system, the economy is much, much easier.

Ask HN: What is the best way for kids to build a mobile app?

from the ask-hn dept.

My daughter (5th grade) wants to build an mobile app as part of her school project. I think there must be some options for kids to build an app instead of writing it in Swift or Objective-C (iPhone). One thing we found is "Thunkable". Any other options? HN readers, any recommendations? Thanks!

I am curious why this article pops up in Hacker News.

Grew up in China, some of my childhood stories are related to Loulan, a mysterious place. Glad to read about it here.
