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

He had a dream about it. Dream on, liberal.
new site tagline
China's collapse has been proclaimed imminent for like 40 years at least at this point
more like 200 years
Lol, lmao even
I wonder if there's someone who believes this and is now aghast that the Chinese chip industry has recreated itself so quickly
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.
and another gem from digitimes just months before Mate 60 launch :)
