SV/USA can't have mature and fact-oriented discourse about China because it is in deep denial about SZ/China surpassing it. Started happening big time with TikTok.
I used to think that way. I joked with my engineer friends 15 years ago about Huawei copying American-designed routers down to the English silk screening on the circuit boards. Seeing Huawei pump out their own state of the art switching and router chips disabused me of that notion.
How about this one - China prioritises well-being over algorithms?
China has positives as well as negatives. There are positive comments as well as negative on HN. If you look for negative comments and stories you will find them.
If you look for positive stories I think you will also find them. If not, I’m happy to read your positive stories and comments about China.
A quote from the comments there:
“I feel like at some point, China might find a chill government who will let a lot of those slide or move into a more balanced position. I hope they do. I can see path for China to really become closer to a utopia than virtually any other place right now.”
