Free

Yesterday I downloaded another app called CoolGuo, an online radio station developed by the Chinese. Just to realize it is restricted as an app for China only. 

Nowadays, many cool apps actually remain as china only app cos they might abuse "rights". Such as online movies streaming. 

Many cool tools are reserved for China only because they are 1. Too cheap, 2. Too cheap and good. Only tools that are available and imported to US are cheap and bad in quality, thus the whole sayings on "made in china, bad quality". I went to Taobao.com and bought a wood plane, 1/5 of the price if I have to pay in US. Though, it is forbidden to be imported. 

Got me thinking. 

1. Nowadays we really have to go to China to get good stuff, used to be the other way around. 

2. US is a free country with "rights" to many things, thus her people are not free as she has many regulations to protect these rights. China is not a free country, but she allows many "rights" for her people to do stuff, stuff that could not be done in US. 

In other words, US has the freedom of speech, but an American has to buy a lousy made in China loudspeaker to announce the speech, that probably breaks in the middle of the speech. A Chinese can't speak out loud, but they could produce the cool tools that are reserved for China only that probably won't be used as no one could really speak.
