WTF thread

That'd be whinging I guess tihzho?

haha oops! yep, you're right John! :P

Seriously though when I first arrived back in Jakarta after years in Shanghai I was remarking to my friends how fresh is the Jakarta air...they suggested I must go to the doctor to have my head examined! lol And fair enough too, if I was coming from Australia or America to Jakarta perhaps I wouldn't be saying that.

Back to China WHINGING about the Shanghai US consulate publishing air quality reports. China has pulled "but China is a developing country" card and its unfair for the US (and the world) to expect China to be measured to the same standards as everyone else.

The government appears frustrated that there are now dueling readings for air quality and that the U.S. readings underscore the fact that pollution levels considered unhealthy in the U.S. are classified as good by China.Wu said it isn't fair to judge Chinese air by American standards because China is a developing country and noted that U.S. environmental guidelines have become more stringent over time.
The standard China uses "takes into account the level of our current stage of development," Wu said.

China is very good in scoring a self goal. If China didn't say a word about the Shanghai US Consulate air quality monitoring no would pay it much mind. However as China is very keen on preserving "face" its pulling out its overused "but China is a developing country" card just days away from a manned space mission to its own space station. This makes what Wu said "because China is a developing country" seem rather stupid. GOAL!!

China Set for Manned Mission to Tiangong-1 Module

China may be just days away from launching its first manned docking mission to the country's Tiangong-1 space station module, according to reports. A Shenzou-9 spacecraft atop a Long March-2F rocket was moved on Saturday to a launch platform at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China in preparation for a mid-June launch, Chinese space agency officials said over the weekend.
The China National Space Administration (CNSA) is now conducting final tests ahead of the launch, according to the Global Times. Tiangong-1 was successfully lowered to docking orbit earlier this month, the China-based tabloid newspaper reported.
The three-person crew aboard Shenzou-9 will include a female astronaut, either Liu Yang and Wang Yaping, China's official Xinhua news agency reported Monday.

What iphone? havn't got one and never would.

I can tell you how the Chinese motor control center is.. burnt out, because of poor design and workmanship

I believe Chinese companies can make high quality products, if they are supervised properly and held accountable. An iPhone is both a high profile and high margin product, so they have high incentive to do it right. Unlike Google and Microsoft, Apple has always been a hardware seller, so they have extensive experience in dealing with manufacturers to ensure that their standards are met.
