Agreed. China is a well and truly fully developed country in most respects now. They are a world superpower.

Yeah with upon further looking deeper into VGC online other Amazon listings that day (Mar. 17 & since has changed?) I found the storefront had other items listed for things like vitamins (?) and other odd stuff but all under the wrong departments in addition to other listings these longboxes (unavailable) of counts of 5 & 15 and photoed different, it just all gave me a bad vibe.
But an A for effort. At least someone is trying.

Oh and here's an old thing.. plus mid '70s wallpaper.

I don't know what you mean by that, I meant like in terms of how developed the area is.

LMAO.

Actually the case is, theres small areas that are fully developed, one of them is Hong Kong. But by large, China is a developing country. Take a look at this map of human development:

The map is 4 years old so theres probably a couple more dark green areas now.

Have you ever had the inclination to see if that could maybe be functional again? Still, IMO, kinda neat to have an antique unit like that. https://i.imgur.com/v99tEAu.gif

It could but with electronics this old it's better not to. Fire hazard. Now that all signals are digital it's pointless. Can't hook anything up to it. Be a fire hazard to see static.

I sometimes have to be reminded of that. :p
For the majority of the population here, analog is still the norm.

It's a skit from the mid 90's by brilliant writer and satirist Chris Morris, here playing several characters including the fictional rap artist Fur Q, from his spoof 'news' show The Day Today. The skit was lampooning MTV and hyper violent American gangster rap. To this day it's still one of the funniest things I've ever seen. :D
