Amazon is years ahead in customer support and services. Yes. but in terms of products sold, I'd argue that they are mostly the same: made in China or southeast Asia.

China's e-commerce sites don't have such a worry. They have Great Firewall. Trade barrier works! /s
Re:Microsoft sells patents to Xiaomi on Wednesday June 01, 2016 @07:40AM (#11813580)
No they will not.

1. Chinese Gov has Huawei's back, not Xiaomi.

2. Their decision to make their OS to show crazy amount of ads is really short sighted.

3. They are falling dangerously behind Huawei in both sales and quality of product.

jsno2, jsno3, jsno4 are accounts created within an hour only to comment positively for Qihoo. Are there any rules on HN against this kind of behavior or can someone ban these fake accounts?
Re:Qihoo 360 and Go on Monday July 06, 2015 @10:25PM (#9843305)
It's not China-hating. It's Chinese people hating on Qihoo.
Every 'transaction' should be automatically deducted from user's bitcoin wallet. Call it GNU Premium.
It's a hard problem to solve, and it might be a good crowd-sourcing opportunity. They need to expose some API for managing traffic, so that the community can experiment with new routing and scheduling strategies.

So maybe your should learn driving a car first. I agree that paying full attention while driving is definitely the hard thing to do, but it is also the right thing to do.

They are in Harvard. Next step would be landing a job on Wall St., not taking the hard courses that might prevent them from graduating.
Actually, the internet speed in China will limit the usage of such services. It took me 3 hours to upload a 1G file (and I'm in Shenzhen, where Tencent headquarter is located). I doubt Tencent is just claiming an outrageous number and assuming no user will ever reach it.

In fact, Xunlei, the download software that has most users in the world, does a much better job for a much lower price (10GB for 15 USD per year). But you have to be able to read Chinese...http://vip.xunlei.com/freedom/lixian.html
