First time driving in China, I’m in a used $2k Wuling Mini! No airbags, 100 mile range, 65 mph top speed, it’s cheap can’t complain. The new $5k models have airbags and ABS. This top seller is built by workers on ~$3/hr, pulling 12-hour shifts with only 4 days off a month.

Xiaomi used to just be a knockoff android phone manufacturer but now they sell high end electric sedans and SUVs alongside their smartphones

Merry Christmas! I had a great time listening to a govt approved pastor give a govt approved sermon at Jingling Church. Although the sermon was dry, it was awesome to worship in the same venue where Sun Yat Sen’s wife and father in law/revolutionary financier used to worship

Asked my hotel in Shanghai for a razor and they delivered it via robot

The security camera at the Chinese DMV written test center. They have TSA security with a metal detector and wand to check for hidden electronics

At this Chinese clothing store, everything is on sale at 80-95% off but the prices are all 5-20x the normal price, so you just end up having to do non stop math while you shop to calculate the price 😂 I love the honesty it’s way funnier than American fake sales
