New comment by zachguo in "China has forbidden under-18s from playing games for more than three hours/week"

zachguo — Mon, 30 Aug 2021 18:11:14 +0000

The policy is targeting ONLINE games. Companies like Tencent will simply double down shipping those shitty games with loot boxes and microtransactions oversea to your kids. Meanwhile in China offline singleplayer games may see a boom.

New comment by zachguo in "Taiwan bans recruitment for jobs in China"

zachguo — Fri, 30 Apr 2021 20:59:16 +0000

This is meaningless. Taiwanese can still access job posting sites or be contacted by recruiters from Mainland China. There's no language barrier and they can simply buy a flight ticket to Shanghai and start working wherever they want with full Chinese citizenship.

The brain drain is serious and I don't see how it can be solved unless Taiwan can offer competitive salaries against first-tier cities in the mainland, 10% of Taiwanese population is now living and working in the mainland.
