> Beyond that, they have to roll the windows down every time you open the door to prevent damage to the seals?
Not sure I understand your concern here, but isn't is how every frame-less car door works? See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NM-dunSOLw

You are correct that per capita doesn't matter to the global climate but it's only relevant because regulations are enforced on a nation-based fashion.
As a Chinese national living in the U.S., I would like my fellow countryperson to have the same standard of living as an average American does. Unfortunately this view is not shared by many Americans, including Obama [0].

Care to elaborate why you think the comments on this rover are nationalistic? Or, do you feel the same way about comments regarding NASA or JAXA achievements?

"The Snapdragon 888 wins in terms of CPU performance while the Kirin 9000 seems to be the one with the better GPU and AI capabilities. However, there are other factors to consider such as power efficiency where the Kirin 9000 already does excellently well as shown in our review video. So until there is an in-depth device-to-device comparison, we can’t say which chipset is the clear winner." [0]

It's structured by country. You need to go to the Location dropdown and select China to see the actual report.

> The Japanese calendar was lunar and calculated locally until the 1600s in some areas
Isn't the Japanese calendar Lunisolar and borrowed from China? (from the wikipedia link you posted above)

Another angle to look this: many allies of US (who claims China is a major enemy) raises disputes with China.

Native Chinese speaker here.
I'm not sure I understand your point. Without keeping up with the new memes, IME still let people type them (it's simply not as easy when IME does not auto-suggest the new combination, users can manually select each Chinese character).
Regarding "an informal ambiguous layer", are you implying there is something more fundamental/low-level than the Chinese characters used in communication? If so, what is that?

You seems to be implying that there is no real users protesting against this game (and/or the Xi memes) but this is definitely not true. I've seen plenty of real people complaining about the references in that game, mostly on Weibo.
Regarding Taiwan, CCP does put pressure on companies but this feeling/motivation is (almost unanimously) shared by the people in China.
My point is, simply brushing off the "real" voices coming from ordinary people in China and claiming they don't exist are not very substantive and won't help understand them. For example there is one question I asked myself during the protest against that game: Why do my fellow countryperson take a meme directly at Xi an insult to them?

How would this sensor works with the microlens [0] that help direct the lights onto each pixel and already exist in most modern camera CMOS?

The illustration also contradicts the real picture of the sensor.
Also from the same DPReview article: "Curved image sensors mimic the human eye", that illustration is not how I thought the retina is shaped.

BioNTech's vaccine is already bought and to be manufactured in China [0]. Implying it's China behind this incident is a little too late, don't you think?

Another angle for car companies to develop their own tech might be (claimed) competitive edge.
Not many car manufacturer would market the airbags, breaks or tires as superior. However, car makers that develop their own engine constantly brag about how efficient or powerful their cars are compared to their competitors (e.g. Mazda and their Skyactiv, Toyota and their Hybrid).
In the case of Toyota Solara, how does the glass fit with the seal on the A-pillar and roof? The roll-down mechanism is required because the glass on those doors have to be "inserted" into the seal.
