The top comment is slandering it as propaganda, because it doesn't follow the narrative close enough. The top comment.
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 will give you that. What’s been shocking to me is that, while the Trump right is antagonistic to China, they see China as the highly capable future superpower that it is. Ironically it’s the anti-Trump left that dismisses China as a backwater that won’t ever be able to do anything but “steal IP.”
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.
I’m not talking about the quality of the discussion. I was responding specifically to the point that the only things that get posted are around IP theft.
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.”
The above article recently posted to HN doesn’t fall clearly into “steals IP” or “can’t invent their own stuff”.
