50 years of sending all the knowledge to China and now sudden realization that „data is the value”. Work was cheap, but we paid in IP and tech as a whole. It’s great to see how long term is China strategy and how well they execute it.

Good luck for us all being „independent”. We can make processors out of attached plastic bottle caps…

And you will find that half of knowledge made by Asian.

It is funny that there are more people blaming China than the shareholders that made trillions of dollars.

Easier to blame a foreign villain than to hold the shareholder class accountable.

I don't think people are blaming China. You can see this from all the extremist movements in Europe. People are blaming politicians and the "elite". They gave away for free all the technological advancements and knowledge to China to make huge profits and become filthy rich, and now they complaining that no one is buying their expensive outdated cars and other goods that people can't afford because they don't have decent jobs any more and the economy is bad. The only goal with outsourcing everything to China was to make as much money as possible for themselves, with no regard for the future and how this will affect our economies in the long run, but that doesn't matter when you are rich, for now.

What do you mean by the "elite"? By the way you put it, it looks like the people that got filthy rich with this schema were the politicians but we all know they are just foot soldiers of the corporations.
