Just to emphasize my point that the Chinese government is too scared to act when its firms are being hurted .
M'kay I see once again, you've got nothing left but to repeat short phrases you can't defend so I'll just quote myself from 887:
"Changing accounts to say the same things won't make them true, Bo. Shouting matches and one-ups don't determine the victor; results determine the victor and never has Chinese tech been as close a peer to American tech nor has it been moving as fast as it is today. Xi JinPing could not spur Chinese tech innovation alone; he warned on the need for self-reliance and he invested money but Chinese firms took that money and did little to no work, in the worst case using it to buy foreign tech and scrubbing off the logos to pass of as domestic ones. Trump's tech war is what it took to finally move them off their lazy greedy corporate behinds and to start really investing in the technology that China lacks. While this tech war may be a death sentence for smaller countries, it's more of an opportunity than an attack for China because this is what it takes to awaken Chinese innovation, the largest innovative force in the world. You have a man with his head buried in his work to overcome all of his own weaknesses confused with someone who is timid and shy just because he's not running his mouth and trying to attack others. Investment and growth in China is what the US is trying to stop, so the best response to American actions is to find which technological areas America fears most and develop them. America already knows that it can't out-grow China so its last resort is sabotage, which is always an uphill battle. China doesn't need to waste energy on its own uphill battle; it can arrange all of its strength around its own growth. And the result of that is that Chinese firms are developing their own technology where they used to rely on foreign/American providers. If you think that vying for self-sufficiency at the cost of bleeding some profits is being slaughtered, then you are for more capitalistic and short-sighted in your thinking than anyone you can accuse."
And 892:
"Your definition of "slaughter" may be an English issue. For something to be slaughtered, it has to be dead. Just like when Deino banned your account, he didn't "rape" you; that word also means something else. People with low IQ always interpret silence and reserve as fear but people who understand the situation see that the instigator, the one who is attacking, is doing so out of fear and desperation. That is the driving force behind the Thucydides' trap. American firms like Whatsapp, Yahoo, Google are already banned in China. China went after them before the US even started the tech war because China identified them as threats. Going after firms that aren't threats is a digression."
