I guess this comes too late in your case, but you can tell the difference on the phone by checking if the notification "Charging this device via USB" pops up, which you can tap to enable USB data transfer.

That's intent, not motivation. People usually have a reason for wanting to do something.

Oh sure. But two wrongs don't make a right, nor do they make China a "benevolent hegemon" as if such a thing existed.

Tell that to the Philippines, or Tibetans.

The riddle only makes sense as such with one question in total.

The trick is to ask one guard what the other guard would say is behind a particular door.
