It makes China an abstraction onto which Americans can project their anxieties about their own country.
I notice all these Indian firms tend to use the word Bharat a lot. Some even do stuff like BharatGPT.Addverb an Indian robotic startup wants to compete in the world market.
The CEO Sangeet Kumar says that Addverb says that his company can compete with the entire Chinese robot industry ecosystem. Namely because:
1) Addverb imports most components from Germany and Japan. Sangeet claims that they are more reliable than China.
2) India has better software capabilities than China.
3) India is more trusted in the global markets.
It is fine to be proud about building a your own domestic robot company. But why do you have to boast that you can compete with an entire world-leading industry? Simply because you're Indian and that you use non-Chinese components? Indians can never be humble, but they must always fantasize about humbling China.
If state mottos accurately reflected their country’s character then India’s new state motto should be “Talk is cheap”.I notice all these Indian firms tend to use the word Bharat a lot. Some even do stuff like BharatGPT.
The reason is coz their products suck. Most people would never buy them on pure merit. So they need to appeal to nationalist tripe saying you have to use this crappy product to support India or you are a traitor anti national.
And before you go muh China, apart from a few sensitive industries like search engines, there's nothing to stop western companies coming to China. In fact that's why western businesses like China more than India coz there's less restrictions, tariffs and frankly a better consumer base that has more money and is more open minded. Yet Chinese companies eventually got their standards good enough where not just domestic but even international demand wanted it. Even with sensitive stuff like semiconductors, most western stuff can still be sold even now. Chinese firms are not entitled to Chinese buying them, they have to prove themselves. Otherwise cambricon would have conquered the whole Chinese market long ago.
We can see how bad baidu is compared to other Chinese companies that had to fight. Now imagine India having nothing but Baidu like companies.
When recruiting someone like this, the most important thing is obviously to prevent him from learning about you as he teaches you about himself. It has to be high on everyone's alert that he must not come to understand your protocol while he shows you his, if he is meant to return alive. That's what he's paid for and as he's getting paid, he should know that he's there to answer questions, not ask them. Just asking questions is a very dangerous thing to do that can cause suspicion and lead to deadly outcomes in a situation as serious as this. No country is stupid enough to trade information with him like a member of the team, then send him back to his country. If you did that, you might as well not have gotten him in the first place because everything would be moot.they will use him now to get all the info they can on the PLA after 2 years there
You gota love the modern American mental breakdown: we have no food, while we aren't suffering from a lack of food, we have a shortage of food, everyone we talked to don't want to disclose how much they're starving, so while nobody's starving, everyone's dead.
looks like the power of the rare earth card is starting to show
If this were high school or college he’d be stuffed inside a locker after the first beer.Kash Patel-FBI Director drinking beer,hooting and hollering in the US olympic mens' hockey dressing room like he was "one of the <white > boys" another prime example of this phenomenon.
My question is why the f did he return to the US, there's no way he didn't think he would get caught, the only reason one would return is to gather even more intelligence to then send to China. If i was him i would've stayed in China and never returned to the US considering the state of it.When recruiting someone like this, the most important thing is obviously to prevent him from learning about you as he teaches you about himself.
