    So we spent like what, 20 years saying China censorship bad and finding sneaky ways to get them in the global Internet via VPNs and Tor and Tor bridges, and now we want to make our own?

    That’ll go well.

      Everything they accuse others of is what they want. The projection is absolutely insane. Children grooming, limiting free speech, stealing elections, stealing jobs, everything…

      We don’t want that. A very small group of very small spoiled children do.

      That’s been the plan all along. Just needed the big bad Chinese Bot to come along to start nudging the idiots of Xitler and r/conservative to start clamoring for their own Great Firewall to protect their freedom.

    Well that would be against the 1st amendment. Not only are these shitheads running towards the slippery slope, they’re already sliding down the mountain and dragging us all along with them in the name of staying on top and keeping their money. They will certainly not be bound by such laws, and there will just be more and more of this “haves v havenots” bullshit. This shit needs to be shut the fuck down. Now.

      The shitheads have already threatened to use force against their allies in NATO and applied amnesty to participants in the coup attempt, so… Nothing is surprising anymore.

    China is an entire economy built on intellectual property thievery and slave labor. The whole thing, that’s their advantage, and source of gdp which perpetuates the CCP’s stranglehold on 1.4 Billion people . Theft and slavery. The Chinese CCP can fuck off into the sun.

      They just did the speed run past us.

      To be fair, espionage is a common thing throught history. This is nothing really morally wrong with copying from other countries.

      By your definition, the US technically “stole” the atomic bomb from the nazis by “stealing” German scientists. I mean like… who cares.

      Your argument should focus more on what the implications of what it means for China to become more powerful, not the “intellectual property” aspect. Like what jurisdiction? The powerless UN? Is it “intellectual property” if we find a alien spacecraft and didn’t ask the aliens for permission to reverse engineer it?

      The United States of America stole the land from the Indians and used black,Irish and Chinese slaves to build it. The United States can fuck off into the sun.
