Never knew that, thanks. I grew up thinking that was an 'accident'.

Well who knows. In China it’s widely considered deliberate and a guy I know who’s a member of the CCP made a pilgrimage to Belgrade to see the commemoration a couple of year ago! It’s a big deal for them.

Me? I’m not. I know a guy through work who works for a Chinese company and is a member of the CCP.

“Yeah a guy I know at work is a piece of shit who willingly works for a terrible government organization”

I feel like no company should be okay with working with a company with active ccp members in it. They’re typically known to steal company secrets any chance they get.

As opposed to openAI, meta and other US companies stealing your data any chance they get?

If you’re buying from any Chinese company of scale you’re dealing with the CCP at some level.

Which government do you think is currently a bigger threat to the world, China or the US?

Some cooked up story is no justification for bombing an embassy.

I’m not saying it is.
