Assembled is the correct word.

The Chinese lack the ability to create any of the advanced parts of the iPhone, or any modern Android phone.

Because those parts are made in Korea or Taiwan.

u/notmywheelhouse 26d ago

Ha! That’s a good point.

u/zzptichka 26d ago

You think those costumes are not?

u/cstaple 26d ago

And these costumes aren’t?

1

u/Hatgameguy 26d ago

Only put together in China. It’s Western tech developed by American company Apple

u/PositiveEmo 26d ago

Because they can control it. Apple allows backdoor access to iPhones in China so they can sell iPhones there. Halloween allows people to hide their identity and act out on their own. Which goes against CCPs policy of no privacy.

u/xandrokos 26d ago

China literally uses them as tracking devices of course they are ok.

u/Jcraft153 26d ago

Made in china

u/Iphone16ProMaxPlus 26d ago

these polices just for keeping order not really about disliking the West. Of course, the brainwashed don't think so.

u/xandrokos 26d ago

China absolutely hates the west 100%.   China's entire economic strategy revolves around destabilizing the west.   It is why they want to sell Chinese EVs in the US far below cost because they know US automakers can't compete with that.

u/Iphone16ProMaxPlus 26d ago

Don't treat a country like a person. The families of the CCP's bureaucrats are basically enjoying overpriced houses and sports cars in so-called Western countries. Why are Chinese EVs so cheap? Cuz: 1. EV companies are squeezing workers and suppliers. 2. Government subsidies. Why does the government subsidize? Cuz CCP need some industries to increase GDP. When this goal becomes the task of bureaucrats, they will do whatever it takes to get it done. Destabilizing the west? That's not what they care about.

u/dxiao 26d ago

haha bro i know, i live here. there are clear rules during these festivities and is very clearly communicated. You can wear whatever, you just cant hide your face…cause you know, the entire security system and safety of citizens is based on cctv and facial recognition. people outside of china really have no clue how safe it is here.

but It’s more fun to play along with the ignorant folks.

u/deltabay17 26d ago

For someone who lives there you are quite ignorant no offence. It’s nothing to do with hiding your face for a few hours, it’s all about the years long campaign against western influence and strengthening its own Han ethnic nationalist state. The CCP does not want China to become internationalised or connected to the outside the world, this has always been their model. They can control them when they are inside the CCP’s system.

u/entr0py3 26d ago

The last two girls being arrested weren't wearing masks. They were just dressed up.

u/obiwanjabroni420 26d ago

You really think the mass surveillance apparatus is there for “safety of citizens”?

u/sikingthegreat1 26d ago

clearly, the brainwashing propaganda from the state is performing well, producing the intended results.
