This article has so many brainworms in it.

DEI being the reason American companies failed to compete with Chinese companies is laugh out loud funny coming from an article where the premise is that Americans are too racist to accurately estimate their enemies.

The China watchers don’t actually know how to read Chinese, so no one is doing deep, thorough research based on evidence found in the native language. To be a foreign expert, the bar is down at: being like 3 generations removed, having a ridiculous hatred for a country’s politic or native population, be ugly as sin.

Perfect example of how it’s possible to learn valuable things from one’s enemies (referring to the article itself).
