> drunken dogs coming home to beat their owners that I haven't heard of yet?

Yes, it is called "reactive" dogs. Remember the definition of DV, next time someone is blamed for provoking the dog. Even if dog is "provoked", that is not valid reason for violence!

And I am not talking about dog owners, but their victims. Mostly children, spouses... They have no option to leave an abusive household. Many times they are gaslit and shamed. Dog owners have many privileges, and can get away with brutal child murder!

Even threats of violence (growling), or forced sleep deprivation are DV!!!

A lot Chinese software was created for Windows XP or Win7. Keeping such software running on modern windows can be quite expensive. Many of them do not even have legal windows license.

Add security concerns... What happens if windows activation server goes down? Or Microsoft pushes some hostile patch?

Today, Linux with Wine can be the easiest way to run old windows software.

Maybe, but that is just implementation detail.

My point is that 3td party apps do not make much sense in China. They are useless without support from super app

> If you live outside of China and don't know Mandarin

Not just that, China has super apps that integrate everything from payments, food delivery, taxi, social media... To single application. Integrating this app directly into OS as a launcher (or shell) kind of makes sense.

Not in forests! But in cities and houses yes, absolutely! And we actually do that, if dangerous bear wanders into town, it gets removed! In cities we eradicate rats, cockroaches and all sorts of filthy animals!

Dangerous predators belong to nature and forests. Public city parks are not nature (or toilet)!

> very few people get sick from them,

Do you have any source for this statement? If you get stomach infection (like ulcer), there is no investigation of source of bacteria. Every municipality just accepts dog poop as "part of nature". And nations that do not tolerate dogs are healthier.

Toxoplasma can be actually traced to cats, and like 60% of population are infected!

Huge part of population have stomach ulcers and other poop hygiene related diseases with "unknown sources"!
