As entertaining as the product name is, gRPC and gRPC-Web exist...
What is the point of posting a library with all documentation in Chinese on HN? And to be brutally honest, even if all doc's were written in pristine English, you'd have to be out your mind if you are based outside of China yet still choose to use an RPC library sponsored by the Chinese Communist Party.
Prefer one sponsored by a very ethical company that really worries about your privacy like Google or Facebook?
Bear in mind that the very worst accusations against Google have been for considering possibly working within the demands of the Chinese government in the future, with the whole dragonfly thing.

You're saying that the Chinese government is more ethical, themselves.

"Sponsored by the Chinese Communist Party" - does the documentation really say anything like that, or you just sharing your prejudice with us?

Anyway, I don't see the problem in using CCP-sponsored software if we can use the Internet, which started out as a project of the US Department of Defense (ARPANet).

I looked around the repo. While I can't read the comments it looks very much to me like a one-person project. We should all be so lucky that anytime we throw something on github people assume our work is state sponsored. I have done similar so I guess I am serving US imperialist masters.
I will write english doc.
Well the source code is available and can be checked, right?
thanks for the post, i have to brush up on my mandarin to read it tho
But now, i not have time to write english doc.
Disconcerting and suspicious to see so many Chinese codebases being advertized here. I feel that there is some nation state activity behind it. There is a ban on Chinese work products in sensitive industries (aerospace/defense, military, and government), and other industries should follow suit if they care about security.
I’m okay with that as soon as HN stops serving content to non-US citizens.
