China crisis is a TikToking time bomb

Now do the lack of a free press & massive censorship.

Russia for example heading that way now.

Result? You've got a country full of people who think the war is necessary & digging in for years more of it.

Critcise the state media feeding tube narrative? Straight to jail.

Re: China's low standard does not mean western's high

Someone gets it.

Such a false equivalency here is burns.

I'd bet $100 that commenter is living in a western democracy & not a communist state.

Re: Dance with the Devil

Which country puts you in jail for 20 years for criticizing dear leader in an email again? Which has no free press again?

Chinese semiconductor industry: This Western chip ban alliance stinks

You might want to check out China's own statements, where they repeatedly call for military invasion if necessary, not to mention the constant air sorties & grey zone harassment.

Re: American trade protection

I guess... was China a free market?

Uncle Sam wants allies to join its anti-China chip crusade

Re: America wants

A small segment being anyone who dissent?

Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Been living in Asia for 20 years & China is not popular. Only for economic trade. All their neighbors have a bad history with them.

Sure I guess you could argue same could be said of any super power. I'm just incredibly wary of the echo chamber of absolute power that is the CCP.

Re: America wants

You're being hyperbolic.

The US is not threatening any allies in the region with military action.

China however, is. Not to mention militarizing the south China sea

The US has definitely behaved shamefully twds the Canadians with the tarrifs. And the Chinese will be 100x worse.

They aren't going to liberalize or magically change. Remember Nortel? Hacked & most IP stolen. Wasn't done by a US company...

Re: What a surprise

Hi there,

Obviously the US has a long history of military adventurism, but are you really blaming them for Putins war? He's grabbing oil (or trying to) plain & simple.

But I opened this comment to ask you about your comment on China actually....

Yes its true that American Co's are inefficient, as is late stage capitalism (hello Boeing) - Surely Huawei was making gear cheaper than any western counter part.

Its also been fairly well established that much of the Huawei empire has been built on stolen IP, China having a 'different' view on these things.

Similar to the difference in how they deal with spies (which every country has) killing 18 of them extra-judiciously during the Obama tenure, while we afford people due process.

Starting to see a difference? China plays hard ball, and are not some innocent victim.

Are you going to tell us that the US is 'forcing' China to invade Taiwan? Cause that is the strong implication. Taiwan is doing just fine, and has no interest in being 'reunited'. China could ask their people if they cared to.
