This is simple. 20%-ish of Chinese workers are subsidence farmers as opposed to ~0% of the U.S. population: then if you look at US firms - there simply are no Chinese equivalents of the size and scope of U.S. firms like Microsoft, Oracle, Linde, Air Products and Chemicals, ThermoFisher Intel, Pfizer, Nvidia, AMD, Boeing, etc and countless other innovative manufacturers and service firms.
Since when is Linde a US company? The name alone should ring you a bell about where they come from.

China simply lacks the multiplicity of large technologically complex firms that the U.S. contains in droves - that drives the technological frontier more than anything else and can easily explain the productivity differential.

Even with the recent Boeing and Intel news - they clear far more in revenue and volume in a quarter than COMAC and a random set of Chinese logic IC manufacturers have cleared in the past decade combined
Other people already debunked this. For whatever reason HiSilicon is not displayed in top 10 chip companies statistics anymore. Which does not mean they are not in the top 10.

If there was, we would’ve seen it by now since with the 301 tariffs, the Huawei export ban, the October 7 export ban, the Pelosi trip to Taiwan, the CFIUS rollout, the TikTok ban, the CCP travel/visa restrictions, the South China Sea/Philippines stuff, the journalist kicking out, the Taiwan Travel Act, US army members in Taiwan, etc

among others were all the 246,495th time the US apparently crossed China’s red line only for China to do…nothing.
China doesn't have to do anything as these sanctions are shooting the US in the foot.

US car companies are not competitive and that's why they use these sanctions in a separate attempt o save their own industries instead of letting them compete because america can't compete, not even on their own soil.

China doesn't have to do anything since these sanctions have made China more resilient and weakened US competitiveness over all.

I mean you sprout BS in other threads without any knowledge of the material just like you cope and some about vaccines and health care.

Btw US economy GDP is overhyped and artificially high due to high cost of health care which so if it goes down to a reasonable cost level, their GDP would be much lower.

All of these bills are basically the desperate last cries of a dying empire trying to implement protectionism

Nothing about trying to fix their own problems or improving their competitiveness

It's honestly pathetic to watch lol
"End Chinese Dominance of Electric Vehicles in America act"

"End American Dominance of Fuel Vehicles in East Germany act" moment

EVs and green tech was such an insane master stroke. In just a decade of tech development, they wiped out more than 5 decades of US investment into oil wars and fracking. In the future, you want personal transport, you want energy generation, you're not gonna be dealing with gulf Arab anymore, but China. And for large scale goods transportation such as container ships? Also China.

It proves that Beijing does not only rely on overwhelming economical force to squeeze out America's bid to global primacy. The communist party was not born with the luxury of having overwhelming advantage, and they have not let it be crutch for them on the global stage, instead they continue to create black swan events to maintain China's national interest.

I wonder what opinion China at large would have towards a law banning the glorification of nazi and other war crime aggressor nation flags/symbols?

On one hand, its benefits are obvious in conditioning the population and tourists away from nazist behavior. On the other hand, it would be more "nannying" of the population like they do in the west, and it can have undesirable outcomes like you see in Germany where they can't even have a video game or movie with swastikas in it.

In the current legal situation, someone has the freedom of speech to show a fascist symbol, but they are not immune to the consequences of doing so, and in the courts, if he is beaten up by bystanders, the nazi will be charged with picking quarrels for instigating the fight.

This is also a possibility.

China doesn’t enforce banning of IJN symbols, which is enforced by the general population. There is no enforcement on Swaztikas which is something both sides of the straits are unfortunately guilty of.

Yes I'm aware of that. But afaik if a person wears a nazi symbol and gets into a quarrel, they will be the ones considered guilty for instigating it, which acts as a very soft ban.

I'm just asking if people think there may be a merit to doing more.

About the swastika I think action should be taken for it as well, but Germany had only inflicted diplomatic damage to China (through the axis alliance).

If China was to ban swastika solely on the grounds of genocide, then it must ban the symbols of any regime that has committed any genocide, like Hutu, Israeli, Belgian etc. To me, this does not make sense.

On the other hand, if a swastika ban is based on the grounds of banning the glorificarion of countries permitting/encouraging aggression against China, then I'd propose packaging the swastika ban together with other far right symbols of equivalent threat as Germany, such as the British occupation of HK flag etc. This makes more sense to me.
