My Chinese brother-in-law put it this way to me.

An American man will see an animal he has never seen before and say, "What is that? Can it hurt me?"

A Chinese man will see an animal he has never seen before and say, "What is that? How should I cook it?"

I would say it is a CANTONESE man, not necessarily all Chinese are like that.

I'm about to go to China and I had no problem obtaining a tourist visa. I requested a 90-day stay, 1 year, multiple-entry visa and it was granted without any issue. I did not have to provide anything extraordinary other than an invitation letter from my friend who is letting me stay in his home. He tells me that, at least in Shanghai, there is nothing to be concerned about. Every time I've gone to China I find the people to be exceptionally friendly and welcoming.

It seems every week there is another "Oh Nos! Android is infested with malware!" article extolling the virtues of Apple and claiming all Android phones MUST install some A/V app or else your hair is going to fall out, your dog will get pregnant and your lawn will turn brown. Every one of these articles can be traced back to one of the major A/V vendors (who just happen to have a convenient Android A/V app for sale) or Apple. It is all FUD and BULLSH*T. Are there malware out there for Android? Yes. Is it widespread in the US? No. I've worked with Android phones for years, work with several administrators in corporate environments who service hundreds of Android phones, know dozens of friends with Android phones. I have NEVER encountered a single bit of malware. Not once. The few bits of malware that have gotten into the system in the US were quickly taken care of by Google. Tell me, have any of you EVER seen this "widespread malware" out in the field?

The best way to avoid responsibility is to say, "I've got responsibilities."
