I've been to Russia (st. Petersburg) where entering a church would cost $10, but for Russians a couple of rubles.

It makes sense from the perspective that locals should be able to afford seeing their own art and architecture. If foreigners can afford it and are willing to pay the asked amount, I sort of understand.

Can't say it surprises me with the way Trump is running that country into the ground.

Short story is that Zhang took over a Dutch Tech company, mismanaged it, and tried to take its Intellectual property/trade secrets to transfer it to a Chinese company, essentially gutting nexperia. The board of the company and the Dutch Chamber of Commerce intervened. Note that the Dutch government didn't do this for political reasons, but based on the findings of the Chamber of Commerce, who intervened because of intentional bad management.

This article makes it sound like Zhang was the victim here.

I'm actually kind of surprised Oracle is apparently so profitable with a lot of good quality open source databases. I know they do more, but enterprise databases are what they are known for.

Didn't he turn out to be a right wing lunatic as well? Funny how his backstory was pretty much ignored by the media.
