The point you raised sort of affirms what I made in my most prior post about this topic. Risk taking nature also affects BUSINESS/INVESTMENTS from Chinese people that have the cash/capital but don't based on the apprehension that the R.O.I. may not be there at all. Isn't this one of the most frustrating thing that the CPC was admonishing its companies from actually doing which was TO INVEST IN SUPPORT DOMESTIC SEMICONDUCTOR INDUSTRY to avoid the shit show its forced into. I mean, if it wasn't for the forced technology war that U.S. government initiated, these dumb ass Chinese companies would gladly keep paying UNCLE SAM Hundreds OF rather than developing its own capabilities.No, Chinese firms simply underinvest in pure NN research, they mostly focus on applied stuff and short-term results. For example, Microsoft Research Asia is based in Beijing yet produced many ground-breaking works - ResNet (most cited DL paper), Swin Transformers, etc. They also created LightGBM which is one of the most popular gradient boosting libraries now. So yeah, this shows that with enough investment Chinese researchers can and will create strong research papers.
There has to be a cultural shift and adaptability that must be fostered within Chinese companies rather than almost and always taking the road well traveled. Huawei is loved, admired, respected, and feared because they dared to do the things I cited.
Eat bitterness has made some of us trying to get along to get along. That's the attitude that a lot of the disillusioned Chinese elites, dreamers that have made their way out of China fuming against GenSec Xi. Why couldn't he just shut his pie hole and accept China's place and play as a subordinating role to the U.S. that way China need not go through this economic pain and readjustments/realignment the Chinese economy is undergoing. Not to mention the loss of capital and opportunities for these bozos to park their money in the west, place their companies in NYSE/NASDAQ S&P to access western capital, markets and status for themselves and their childrens sure way entry to U.S. elite schools. Let's not pretend and become blind that these are not the attitudes of these Chinese bozos.
Some of them have been hit in the head with the reality of the world and have been freed from the western flowery rhetoric that they have lovingly absorbed, romanticized since maybe they began to accumulate wealth. See BYTEDANCE founder as an acute example of this retardation.
I am already deviating from the main point from the subject matter of this thread so am going to stop here.
