    See, when China sells weapons to Ukraine it’s just business, but when China sells broadcasting equipment to Russia it’s clearly China bad and China sponsoring Russia’s war effort.

      Even if your point is right, which I don’t know and don’t care, why even try to make it ?

      What discussion are you furthering with that ?

      Why spend the effort ?

      Lmao the hypocrisy in people downvoting this comment when they simultaneously complain every time a Chinese car or DJI camera ends up in Russia.

      If you weren’t going to complain about the US being the sole supplier of the materials needed for Japan’s invasion of China (and the ensuing massacres, mass rapes, etc.), shut the fuck up.

    Looks like China again proves that it can’t innovate anything new and again they steal an existing design and make it worse. Has China actually ever made any new technology in the last 2 centuries?

      Your comment is so racist that you should be banned… China registered more patents than any other country for the last couple of years. China is the most innovative country in the world right now…

        Were those patents for new innovations and technology or are they a refinement on existing technology? China doesn’t make new things. It is very good at processing existing things though.

        My complaint isnt specific to China, but China is an excellent example of how the production centers of the world are doing no service to the people who have to make things. They are given one set of instructions and told to memorize it without question and repeat the action ad infinitum. The only time a person in this system can make change is to improve the process or procedure that they are given.

        My complaint is also based on personal experience with China and the Chinese education system. Most of SEA is bad but nearly all the other countries in the area constantly innovate and create new things. Why can’t China? For a person who is ignorant of the daily life and upbringing in a Chinese household, this looks like racism. But if I told you that I’m Chinese and was raised like this, what now? I have legit issues with China and the way they do things, which results in a globally poor reputation for goods and services. They could be better and instead China slums it with the lazy kleptocratic business approach. It’s shameful and beneath them. Racism is saying they can do no better and are destined for this. My complaint is that they are capable of somuch more and stopped trying.

          Okay, so what what you are trying to say is China is not using their full potential, in this case okay, there is a good discussion to be made about this.

          The way you said just looked like the racist and orientalist comment a lot of westerns always parrot when it comes to discussing China saying Chinese people can’t innovate because of their race…
