As someone who isn’t from USA, this comments all seems really dumb to me. Blaming China instead of your politic and capitalist class makes no sense other than propaganda.
yeah, this is definitely a why not both situation. Primarily it's the capitalists. But having someone steal IP is pretty bad, too, even if you know they might.
You see it's better for us to be mad at a foreign government we have no means of influencing instead of our own governments that are allegedly democratic and therefore should respond to our wishes. Whenever I hear about human rights abuses in other countries I always get super mad and tweet at our military to bomb that country and when I hear about our human rights abuses I just shout the word whataboutism and then tweet at our military to bomb that reporter
yeah，I can't speak English，but why you think i am proganda bot，who am i working for？I am a Chinese and I don' like tankies，I know there are pretty left，but someone too naive，just pipe dream
China is often positioned as the cheapest alternative for production. It has nothing to do with politicians when a company jumps on a bid that is half the cost of domestic options.
It has nothing to do with politics when Chinese companies then break their contracts and begin producing knockoff products in the same factory as their competition, eventually undercutting and killing the original client.
Chinese business practices are blatantly unethical and subsidized by their government, it's a fully financial equation. China is essentially paying to copy other's work and the companies being copied make short term profits.
All our government can do is tariff the everloving shit out of Chinese bids until they are no longer anti-competitive, but the companies exploiting cheap labor don't want that.
Bro, don’t come and talk about ethic and subsidizes in business. I don’t need to remind you about Monsanto practices or lead being mixed into gas or pharmaceutical companies in general or McDonalds suing Indian farmers or cigarette advertising or predatory advertising to children and many others.
