    Well, the difference is pure and simply... Scale.

    This example is from a company that dealt directly with villagers and the like... Qidian kinda deals with all sides of the production, from the authors to translators to the reader... And they deal with just way too many people for them to worry about people that lost trust...

    And well, they don't cause trouble to their readers, they only cause trouble to other translators.

    So... Overall... It doesn't apply.

    North Korea is a loser and cannot compare with China. china's GDP growth rate in the past 40 years averaged 9.5 percent, which is an achievement that cannot be touched by any judicially independent country. In addition, please do not demonize China. This forum many people come from places where the so-called democracy index is lower than China's. I hope you are not one of them.
    Each country has its own path of development. China has chosen to lose some freedom and democracy by rapid development.

    sorry, my English is not so good. I hope you can read and understand

    First things first. China's advertised average GDP is just not trustable due to the lack of impartial control. I remember having heard from a China official - one that was later arrested for alleged corruption / or for saying too much- that the data was manipulated to fit the party's ideal (and note that I'm not saying western's is less maliable, just that you should not take that data at face value).

    Second, China has not chosen anything. It was a choice made for the people. No sane people would have it's fellow citizens censored for expressing their opinion, or of having freedom of information.

    Lastly, where I am from does not change the truth of my words.

    The truth is that China is developing its own third aircraft carrier, 130 million person-time travel each year.You are denying the data recognized by the United Nations and the World Bank
    You are a fan of China Uncensored, but you like to read Chinese novels. LOL

    I fail to see how those are paradoxal, or the relevance of building an aircraft carrier for the discussion.
    Just because I do not agree with the system does not mean I cannot appreciate literary works or art in general.

    This is not a contradiction. China is getting more and more rich. The Chinese people are getting richer and richer. It's that simple. If you must adhere to your philosophy, you can buy two airline tickets once and go to India once and go to China. There is almost no difference between these two countries 40 years ago. You can even watch the travel channel on YOUTUBE

    1- Which philosophy of mine are you talking about?
    2- Me not trusting China's data does not mean I do not think it is growing. This fact is known - and noticed - by all...
    3- I fail to see what India has anything to do with this. I didn't even mention it...

    You don't believe there is no meaning because this is not a fact, because you can't even buy a ticket to send yourself to know the truth. You would rather believe in a China Uncensored .not want to believe in the United Nations and the World Bank.

    does this matter? the clause is unfavorable (according to you) to the author, but author still publish the novel here, why?

    because qi is part of big corp, they could promise big things to the author, adaption to a movie/game etc. think about the money there

    will qi deliver? no one knows, but the author chooses to believe

    if you want to change qi's practice, you can either:
    - run a global campaign with a lot of money
    - buy part of qi with a lot of money

    make a post will not change anything, since qi boss and those author don't read here

    I just wanted to point out that this is a lie, you should read up on Latin America's dictatorships during the Cold War... Sometimes people are just dumb and shoot themselves on their feet.
    I love this law~
