How Dubai and the rest of Middle East embraced drone shows, with the average show using 400+ drones and costing $112K+; SPH: the market was worth $339M in 2023

Sources: Foxconn stops sending Chinese employees to iPhone factories in India and recalls already stationed staff, while China stalls equipment shipments

Well, the Chinese want a unipolar Asia and thus to contain India, maybe not through objects at the LAC as much given the recent military disengagement there. … X: Kyle Chan / @kyle...

Some sources say the Chinese government is responsible. If sustained, the suspensions are likely to hinder the broader ambition of Apple to develop next-generation iPhones in India as it tries to diversify production away from China. https://restofworld.org/... @restofworld

The tracking data starts in 2022, so if it's a site that was blocked years ago, you won't be able to find out when it was first blocked. That's why we based our project on new AI domains to analyze the patterns and timing of AI censorship https://restofworld.org/...

I was amazed when UBC computer scientist @NP_tokumei offered me a first crack at his new platform, which tricks China's Great Firewall into showing precise blocking data. We worked on this research all summer! Check out the interactive graphic here: https://restofworld.org/... [image]
