    The fiction of the last 30 years is revealed to those with eyes to see.

    All this time the capital class and their lackeys have been saying “Russia is a our superfriend now and China wants to be democratic so we are helping them by using their slave labour and don’t you feel guilty for questioning our supremely good intentions here!”

    And meanwhile it’s the same old global power struggle, but you can make SO MUCH using slave labour, it was just too tempting to send every bit of our labour - even our high tech - over to their factories.

    “Hot water”? They seem pretty content about the breakthrough.

    Man, US penalizing foreign breakthroughs is pathetic.

    US crying and shitting its pants over the mere possibility of losing its top spot in the global market. I look forward to cheap computer parts. I thought the free market was a good thing. Only good when it screws over labor, huh?

      So China does not allow American companies in china nor do they allow most imports. Then they steal any ip they can get ahold of. Then you complain about the free market in a totalitarian state? Yeah, nah.

        If companies were so afraid of having their IP stolen, why were they tripping over themselves to work with a totalitarian state? Imaginary Property theft is rampant in all developing countries and that includes the US when it was still developing.

    All of China is making fun of Usa, and all Usamericans start crying and throwing tantrums like nasty little children. Even their seniors in parliament.

    What a show.
