Western policy is based on racist stereotypes that people outside the west can't innovate. They lose their minds when it's disproven.

Lol, them Westoids wouldn’t’ve went anywhere without the mathematical breakthroughs of Arab scholars. They’d still be stuck in the medieval times lmao, the Arabs literally saved their works from the Roman and Greek times, and through trade helped the euros catch up. Westoids who parrot this statement clearly don’t understand history.

Damn, an advanced industrial economy, with millions of highly educated workers, and direct state ownership of besieged industries figured out how to build these components themselves?

Who would have guessed?

I'm as shocked by this as you are.

Its like the theory that aliens helped the egypcians build the pyramids 😂 how can these savages do this! It must be the aliens!!

But if these industries were operated like the superior capitalist economies, the entire industry would have needed billions to trillions in bailouts to keep functioning profitably. What the hell is going on in China?!? This makes no sense in my head!

average capitalist economist / industry expert

Why does Hexbear have such big emojis????

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

they're just cool like that

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

When you post an emoji from one instance to a different one the emoji does not transfer to the new instance as an emoji but as an image file. This it is not it's emoji side.

So any Hexbear emoji, posted to lemmygrad, will be larger. The same would occured is someone from lemmygrad posted an emoji to a Hexbear thread.

At least this is how I understand it.

I wonder if there's someone who believes this and is now aghast that the Chinese chip industry has recreated itself so quickly

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

You can easily test that, just post it on Lemmy. I'm sure the "China bad" crowd will oblige. Or rather, they will still believe it's true, they are very good at ignoring reality.

They literally know nothing of the world outside of reddit posts. They could be pumping out phones and PC parts with chips better than ours but as long as the reddit slip keeps saying otherwise that's all that matters.

Their mental gymnastics are really interesting. They always say the reason Chinese kids are smart is because of how strict and oppressive their parents and schooling is. So they are obviously accepting that these kids are smart.... Well.... smart kids make smart adults... So why think the adults in China can't figure out making these chips? It's like they think the kids go and grow up and then loose all their intelligence?

That wasn't even a year ago, lol.
