If it were Chinese running CrowdStrike they wouldn't be saying it was an accident. They would say it was China testing out malware undermining the US. That's what China should be planting about them. Are the Chinese going to do that? No, because a lot of Chinese think they're boy scouts singing kumbaya. They don't want Chinese to take the low road that no one recognizes them not taking. That's the only vulnerability China has for the future.
Just to give you an update on the continuing battle of wits I'm having with a stereotypical former Marine I've mention before in this forum. Every year my friend I've known since childhood, hence the reason why I'm around this Marine is because he's the father of my friend's sister's children, invites me to his Fourth of July party he has. This Marine usually shows up every year. Not this year because I was there. After he threatened to punch me in the face if he ever saw me again...? He acts like he's smart but he couldn't keep up with me hence why he had to resort to threatening violence to shut me up. Before that he tried to pull the loyalty card to shut me up. Does he believe he has the right to punish me because I don't show the kind of loyalty only a racist would expect from me? I called him out and he looked like a fool because I didn't do what he expected and he could do nothing to counter me. He didn't have an answer to that because I suspect when he does pull out that card to other Asians, they curl up into a ball or retreat into their turtle shell.
That's how the Chinese should treat Westerners calling them out on their bull but the Chinese don't, so therefore they keep on doing what they do. If you didn't recognize it, Westerners stop when they see they'll lose something more if they do it. Whether it's pride or ego or reputation or something material, they'll think twice if there's a threat they'll lose it because of their actions. There is so much out there that the West says in their own news that can be spun into propaganda against them. The Chinese don't need to lie. And that why's the best propaganda comes from the truth. But do Chinese exploit this? No, because there are some Chinese who think the Chinese are boy scouts when no one sees that for it to be recognized. The only way you can get Westerners to stop doing anything you don't like is when there's the threat that they will lose something if they do.
