    So we spent like what, 20 years saying China censorship bad and finding sneaky ways to get them in the global Internet via VPNs and Tor and Tor bridges, and now we want to make our own?

    That’ll go well.

      They’re already putting porn behind a government firewall in many red states. They’re coming for everyone else now.

      Everything they accuse others of is what they want. The projection is absolutely insane. Children grooming, limiting free speech, stealing elections, stealing jobs, everything…

      We don’t want that. A very small group of very small spoiled children do.

    I think the tech bros are simply terrified of what China is about to unleash on the US and the world by them bringing down their great firewall this year.

        Yes, Xi made an announcement last week it will start off in one of the major cities with full removal in a few months. Chinese citizens will be able to sign up on all ‘western’ social media. The US opening Pandora’s box with the TikTok ban has let the Genie out of the bottle. I suspect other tech to come out of China will make the US look like its living in the mid 1800s

    China is an entire economy built on intellectual property thievery and slave labor. The whole thing, that’s their advantage, and source of gdp which perpetuates the CCP’s stranglehold on 1.4 Billion people . Theft and slavery. The Chinese CCP can fuck off into the sun.

      To be fair, espionage is a common thing throught history. This is nothing really morally wrong with copying from other countries.

      By your definition, the US technically “stole” the atomic bomb from the nazis by “stealing” German scientists. I mean like… who cares.

      Your argument should focus more on what the implications of what it means for China to become more powerful, not the “intellectual property” aspect. Like what jurisdiction? The powerless UN? Is it “intellectual property” if we find a alien spacecraft and didn’t ask the aliens for permission to reverse engineer it?
