>There probably is a pro Taiwan bias in Wikipedia, but ironically a big part of that is from China blocking access to the Chinese Wikipedia

>pro Taiwan bias in Wikipedia

I have previously seen these baseless accusations of Wikipedia and Reddit being pro-Taiwan and pro-India.

There are tens of thousands of pro-Chinese Leftists in the US and Europe. Just take a look at r/GenZedong and r/Socialism. They are China's main propaganda arm in the West. They are far more organized and agenda-driven than Taiwanese and Indian Internet users. They have completely taken over Wikipedia and the comment section on reddit. Anything even slightly critical of China's government gets accused of being CIA propaganda.

Jio is the greatest thing that has happened for rural India in the past two decades.

>The sad thing is they have deep ties with the current Govt, meaning no anti-monopoly action against them will ever be initiated against them.

The only reason there is a Jio "monopoly" is because the alternatives suck outside the urban cores of India's biggest cities.

>and blatantly copy other competing apps (whatsapp and zoom were the biggest thing they copied)

What is wrong with "copying" app ideas and concepts? I am happy that there is an Indian alternative to Zoom for business and government meetings. Just a few months ago Indian military officials were caught using Zoom to videoconference. They didn't know about Zoom's deep ties to the Chinese government.
