  • Yes, airpod clones start at $3 on aliexpress and gearbest while the 1:1 clones with almost identical sound quality and functions are around $20-30. And tech geeks are all focused on when they can get their China stuff!

    While western media complain about China not imposing a quarantine fast enough. When China imposed a quarantine, they now attacked China for being authoritarian and violating human rights. At the same time, demanding the quarantine be broken for foreigners to be evacuated. Since doctors have stated that the coronavirus can be transmitted by people showing no symptoms or virus hiding in your iphone. China will be no doubt blamed if the evacuated people suddenly get sick! For those constantly complaining that China's infection and death rate is being covered up and inaccurate, remember it took the CDC three years to report that the death rate for H1n1 was 16 times as first reported. So in China now, how many deaths would satisfy you ? 1 million? 10 million. 100 million? Have you no humanity, at long last? :)
