All lithium batteries explode. The issue wasn't the batteries, it was the electronics handling them (also made in china)

What an absolute malarkey title given how brutish China has been on allowing their companies to violate any foreign copyrights. China is stealing and has been stealing practically as much as possible from non-Chinese companies by disregarding international law and then using the fact that they have a huge market to get every big company on earth to bend over backwards for them to get in on it. Also this article touches on how having mostly foreign tech students is a problem but is too cowardly to say that this was a problem caused by colleges taking short term pocket money from foreign powers rather than investing in the future of America like IT IS MEANT TO DO.

We have to start prosecuting the people that take money to propagate CCP propaganda in the West. Early quarantine I caught a show on PBS where a white women tours the world and tries to trace inventions and accomplishments back to ancient China. Like to the extent she claimed they invented whiskey because “historical records don’t really confirm they didn’t”

Yes, beautiful Chinese innovation. The Glorious Leader Xi Xinping himself designs, develops and tests everything that comes out of China, and those filthy American Dogs are stealing his life’s work.

What an utterly embarassing article.

China commits more industrial espionage than any other nation on earth, and its attitude to copyright, patents and trademarks is that those concepts simply do no apply to them.

Nobody is a bigger thief of innovation than China. Nobody.

The author of this article should be investigated by the CIA for CCP links. Yes I'm serious.

So forcing Tik Tok to not be commie spies is "stealing innovation?" I've never used it, but from what I can tell is it not just Vine? If it was a video game they would have just called it Vine Ultimate Edition and said it was all new.

All of this fawning article about China over tiktok? Calling it technologically groundbreaking?

There is nothing technically novel or impressive about tiktok as an app from the user's perspective (the data mining methods might be technically cutting edge, but that's not exactly a competitive commercial market since the heavy stuff is too illegal for anyone but China and intelligence agencies to dabble in) The only things that tiktok has over the other dime-a-dozen social media apps are: Its uniquely laid back enforcement of copyright, allowing people to mass publish dances to commercial properties that would immediately get squashed by Western owned properties who are in bed the big copyright holders. And the complete lack of needing to monetize or secure a commercial revenue source as the CCP will never allow them to go under, as long as they're farming data and editting the algorithms to promote the narratives the CCP want promoting.

Which I guess if you remove the absurd claim that America steals more technical innovation from China and replace it with America steals more innovation in amoral mass social manipulation and propaganda from China, they're pretty right. Western social media companies have lagged behind China there, but they've all abandoned those troublesome principles that were slowing them down and are running hard to catch up to that lead now.

Lil' Danny is engaging in nationalistic self loathing. He's also butthurt about Trump's patriot program requirement for schools. Diiiiiiiiick.

Stealing other people's ideas is the closest thing China's had to innovation in at least a century. The CCP would likely have collapsed by now, If the world wasn't propping them up at their own expense.

Why would they move when the good parts of China (the money) are coming to them where they are?
