Besides cache, I think some mobile apps sniff the SIM card and phone number your phone is using (sometime they have to ask permission to do so), and could link that with your old information in their cloud. In such cases clearing all data in your phone will not help.

Another example of this is how TikTok, the foreign market version of Douyin, fails to install if the phone is using Chinese SIM.

Related to these developments specifically about banning English tutoring, I'm already rejoicing here over our "natively" bilingual 4 year old's future academic and job opportunities compared to his peers.

In our residential area up north there are small public playgrounds that have outdoor ping pong tables with no restrictions. I'm sure there are others around the city, if such would suffice.

Oh, you are right it does mention preschool.

"What are the changes? [...] They [the reforms] concentrate on education in core subjects, or compulsory education, which refers to grades K-9, covering the ages of approximately 6-15 years."

"Other notable measures [...] On this note, tutoring centers cannot hold offline or online training for preschool students, including foreign language education".

In extreme poverty, people will even limit survival to that of their own person.

This has been reported, for example, from DPRK prison camps with family members turning on each other to survive.

In today's China you cannot make this comparison to DPRK, but China's history has left its marks in people's behavior today.

If I interpret Mike correctly, he is referring to general attitude of average Chinese person toward other human beings, nature, and generally everything other than himself and his immediate family.

For long time China was poor country, and it still reflects in many parts of the society. One is, that average Chinese will always put his own survival and benefit first.
