    This is racist. China opened up and made a fair bargain that they would receive technology and industry in exchange for producing all the wests goods. Dumb western boy is just mad his country got outsmarted because China played the long game while the greedy capitalists couldn’t see beyond a quarters growth so he paints the Chinese as deceptive and untrustworthy.

      The West didn’t get out smarted or tricked. The West has failed to innovate or advance itself while China has succeeded. A generation ago China was dedicated to learning from the West, but if the West had continued to improve itself it might still have an advantage. Instead it’s remained stagnant so China was able to learn all the West had to teach hence surpassing it. The internal contradictions of the West have nothing to do with China.

    I don’t understand why companies keeping their innovation secret is seen as a good thing. Speaking mostly from a technological and scientific perspective, if their innovation is known and other similar companies start doing the same wouldn’t it be better since there is more technological/scientific progress?

      It’s not a good thing. Just one more reason why capitalism is fucking irrational.

    All tech is derivative of old tech, that’s literally how tech works. That’s how everything works.

    Things techbros invented (ie made new names for) in the past few years:

    • Taxis
    • Apartments
    • Hotels
    • Credit cards
    • Trains, subways
    • Vending machines
    • Public parks
  • Sankavara Gardens

    Regardless of the validity of the joke above, a reason why China succeeded in tech is because Deng made sure not only to import capital and productive forces, but also science. Common Deng W.

    Also wrong on both accounts. China is pumping out more patents than the US for some years now. And thanks to a certain Snowden we know that the USA is the biggest actor in industry espionage, not China.

    That’s right China’s time travelling to the future to steal designs for things like 5G and bullet trains that western companies will invent next century. 😂

    Japan literally copied the designs from the ZTZ99 for their T10

    Chinese tank

    Japanese tank Like, yes, not exactly the same, but it’s not as if the J10 and F35 are so similar either, so by their own standards they copy more

          Oh yeah, that happened. I have relatives in the American scientific community and they say that most of the guys there are Asian or Black, and most of the remaining white people were immigrants too. Scientists like to go where the pay is higher, which explains the current influx of Chinese-American scientists returning to China (google the “Los Alamos club”). Also most American adults read below the 6th grade benchmark so there’s that too. Inevitably the brain drain will reverse itself, just wait and see

          US braindrains entire world, recently China is taking back theirs and US squeals like pigs about it (while also at the same time targeting Chinese and American-Chinese scientists for invigilation and suspicion as potential PRC spies).

          Former socialist countries were and still are drained horribly. Every now and then some polish scientists are making some discovery and our media masturbates for months about it, and the effect is always the same: some US corpo buys it for peanuts and either monopolise or make it disappear.

    China currently has stricter enforcement of intellectual property laws than the west.

    Plus the US offered immunity and bunch of money to anyone who would steal cotton mills and railroads from England to kick start its own industrialization England in turn stole techniques and resources from all over the world at least China didn’t industrialize with fucking opium money and its not like “stealing” technology is a bad thing.

    These dumbasses truly believe that the world was disconnected prior to the 21st century because they think the only connections people can have is online. They don’t know that technology spread throughout history, albeit more slowly. Like how do they think humanity advanced.

      I always remember people saying at the eve of internet that the world is now based on knowledge. Well this is false even in their own meaning because world was always based on knowledge. Ever since humans learned to communicate those that taught their own knowledge were building on it and accumulating. That’s also why every time some breaktrough in knowledge storage, dissemination and communication occured the progress was also increasing. As i mentioned speech, then writing, then printing, then cheap paper, then letterpress, then radio and telegraph, then internet.

      IP is actually a crime against human civilization.

    Most American companies just slap their brand on Chinese products. Those that do their own designs innovate by value engineering their products until they barely last until the warranty expires.

    The fact that anyone can get anything mass produced in China is going to result in some clones but really having such low barriers for entry is overall beneficial to the market. The only people that see impenetrable moats as a good thing are investors.
