Opening sentence:
>Britain has fallen behind Russia and China in the global supercomputing race and has a short window to catch-up, the Government has been warned.
I like how subtle the propaganda is here. Or maybe it's not subtle?

Remember "we have had enough of experts"?
> “I think the people of this country have had enough of experts with organisations with acronyms saying that they know what is best and getting it consistently wrong.”
His problem is not with experts, but with people who claim the authority of experts without the track record or ability to justify that claim, i.e. people who are wrong most of the time, but expect you to believe them unquestioningly anyway. I'm sure we can all think of examples.
Essentially the current makeup of the Tories. They all claim to know what's best whilst making everything worse.
I'm trying to think of any examples where reputable authorities made statements that the government followed because it was the right thing to do, and wasn't a made up group from a Tory sponsor who was parroting the party line, and it was wrong.
Freedom, human rights?
Doesn’t even have to be about super computers.
Anyway: democracies should try not to lose technological races against authoritarian states. I certainly don't want either Russia or China to dominate at anything even remotely usable for warfare.
As long as the invading country is a democracy or a flawed democracy, then it’s ok and justified right?
Ps. Don’t mistake me as a war supporter. I do not support any war.
On the other hand, no one cares about science and tech unless <generic boggyman> might be beating us at it!
Media headline when China makes a breakthrough: "China achieves fusion breakthrough, could allow China to dominate the world"
Media headline in China when US makes a breakthrough: "US achieves fusion breakthrough, could allow US to dominate the world"
I’ve written about how my friends in China were confused why the US was so hostile to China. They didn’t understand. They didn’t have the same negative perception about America as America had of them.
Not sure about now though. Perhaps their perception of America is trending towards negative now that it’s clear to them that America does not like them.
Do you actually think that the level of anti-China propaganda in western media is nearly the same as the level of anti-western propaganda in China over the last 6 years?
How much propaganda did you drink to even reply the way you did?

Beating other countries is kind of the point otherwise you end up like Greece.
