@georgetakei Even if he were Catholic, he'd basically be the American Rodrigo Borgia.

@georgetakei Very glad common sense prevailed and he was released. Hoping things don't get worse.

@georgetakei Even saying "European culture" would have been better than this. Even giving her the benefit of the doubt and assuming she's not a white supremacist, it was a bad choice of words.

@Deus @yogthos @adiz Heck, WeChat is more essential to daily life in China than Facebook is in America. I know several of my generation without FB. But in China (Luoyang), I've met literally nobody the last few years between ages 13-70 without WeChat.

@adiz @yogthos Thankfully, I have no plans to. But if this passes before my next visit home, will I find out anyway?
God forbid they try to ban WeChat next; otherwise they may as well go the extra mile and ban their own citizens from working in China.

@yogthos So what happens to Americans who come home from China with VPNs on their computers and phones?

@georgetakei Talked to one person just today who thought Fox News was leftist.

@georgetakei The Windows Phone failed, and was produced by a better entrepreneur. Huawei is being actively propped up by the Chinese government and marketed as the patriotic choice of the PRC and STILL trails two other phone companies (one of which is Chinese).
Keeping that new phone afloat might be harder than Twitter.
