This exactly. Most companies have a time limited program to bring in new grads. Remember to take advantage of your status, wherever you are attempting to apply in the world. Some highly desirable positions are only available to grads like you because they are looking for a smart trainee to grow into an eventual role. This is also why it is easier to land a non-cs job, because their only expectation for you is to be bright and committed.

I would recommend for you to apply to all positions available through these new grad programs. Quickly learn something about the key words from the job descriptions (within the week) to pad your resume. Your work history won't matter as much as how you present the narrative on your resume.

> Does any other nation have Muslim concentration camps

India, according to John Oliver.

Of course, bring up India should not normalize the severity of locking people up in camps in China. This is the point: asking for examples of worse behavior is a moot point because camps are bad even if every nation in the world does it. At the same time, camps in China is not necessarily suitable context in all facets of discussion.

When it comes to topics (like whether supplying masks from China makes it a good actor) with too much subjective variables, I personally like to think about issues as independently as possible. Using this logic, PPE from China, whether purchased or donated, is an act of appreciable good gesture; regardless, hard condemnation is a must regarding their abuses.

Thank you! I have sent an email to the address in your profile.

Yes. However, my application sent through their careers page does not seem to have traction. It is especially frustrating when employers do not send out rejection emails, either. Now, I am stuck wondering whether the problem is my application or online application in general.

It's a simple scam. There is one about DHL as well you don't have to read so much into every little thing.

I love wechat.

sticker: gifs and emojis all shares the same sticker format. It has natively features for taking, editing and converting photos and videos directly into stickers. Generally, i find memes work a lot better in wechat.

reliability: voice and video calling is buttery smooth. I've taken wechat calls internationally between china, taiwan, us, canada, australia and france. The service is always great even in some rural areas.

consistency: it works on almost all phones of all price ranges. Maybe it's because lower tier phones are of chinese brands and they have closer collaboration with wechat. The point is that wechat works the same on a $100 dollar phone as it does the iphone.

convenience: this one is domestic to china. wechat has mini programs, which are basically web services that make native app obsolete. For example, there is an wechat version of airBNB and it works exactly like the native app. Wechat handles all of the authentication and transaction. There is no need to register for anything!

Absolutely not. They are unfortunately presenting their authentic selves. I don't get why people always draw every hypothesis back to the Chinese government. Incidentally, I would dare to suggest that the tourist Chinese are using the image of the recent Chinese might as an excuse to look down on the native customs.

Looking at the world like that is like plugging your ears and yelling "I can't hear you" whenever something goes against your preconceived narrative.

For example, when China announces they have landed on the far side of the moon, how exactly does their totalitarian governance impact the accuracy of this press brief? Is it not more beneficial for your own sake to pass on judgment (or at least defer on your judgment) based on the particular event over what their goverment is like?

And laws are the will of the government ratified by justice (sometimes meaninglessly). How did will of the people held up against the canning of net neutrality? What say did the people have in the sanction and re-sanction of Iran?

The OP claims government policy dictates everything. Has anyone passed a thought what "policy" actually mean? Is it law or under the table practice? Not you nor the OP said anything substantial other than "they do it". No shit. FBI is also working their hardest to gain access privilege through everyway they can in the scope of their capacity. The real question to ask is not whether the Chinese government will influence Chinese companies, but HOW and whether companies like Huawei can resist or has resisted in the past.

isn't all companies subject to the laws of their respective host countries? The narrative of "party rules all" is way too simplistic to form an argument. At least I would be curious to look for past events of how the party exerted influence on non-state-owned-enterprises.
