Another is their treatment of their people. Another is their military aggression in the South Sea. RCW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
specinho + 467 October 24, 2021 there might be something in urgent need of awareness i.e. quality of products produced. Japan and the west have dominated quality products of the world for decades. An old product could be used for ages e.g. older version of cars with genuine car parts and hard body; older version of TV/ washing machine/ water pump. The change in business model that emphasizes turn over rate for profit might have compromised quality of products produced. A car mechanic lamented that new models of car rarely last 3 to 5 years. The body of cars can be dented with single finger press...... Water kettle/ TV/ phone might need to be changed every year or two etc. Imagine the amount of raw material needed, waste produced, etc. If we could re-educate the public about the importance of old method, i.e. produce quality products that last, to protect the environment, benefit the users while earning good profit based on number of consumers (compared to unsold products due to low quality) etc, how fast do you think the basic quality of life could be returned? 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You really do not want to return to the "quality" of automobiles build in the 1950-1980's. Engineers back then well knew about the effects of dissimilar metals used in car bodies and fasteners, but management ignored the few dollars of extra costs to avoid "rust buckets". Heck, if a engineer saved an inch of wire, he was a hero. Replacing a metal dash with a soft dash also was somewhat less damaging to the occupants. Have you ever owned a TV that used vacuum tubes instead of semiconductors? You could heat a room with those. And spend hours at your local drug store testing tubes to find out which one caused the uncorrectable vertical roll.They actually had "fine-tuning" dials. You even had to leave your seat just to change the volume. But they came in great wooden cabinets! Old dial phones where another matter. They would indeed last "forever". Not very portable, though.

I used to be horrified at people practicing open defecation in China and India because of their poverty. China has cleaned up its act, but it is practised in America these days. https://youtu.be/AP6WQXvaXBo https://youtu.be/Ex1IFzTS1FI Towards the end of Bill Maher's clip, he mentioned university courses in Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse - who knows, it might come in handy.

The CPUs printed on plastic substrates are not the same CPUs made by "acres of fancy equipment" and never will be. The only area where the two technologies may compete is in solar panels, where traditional silicon-based ones won over fancy thin-film designs driven by US startups like Nanosolar.

The point of this is that Western (including American) entrepreneurs work with exactly what they need to accomplish something, rather than wait for the central government to issue a mandate, push money onto local officials, who then go through the motions of making it look like they're doing what the central government told them to do. A lot of advanced technologies involve doing things that upset incumbents, which in the case of China would be state owned enterprises. Since the Western 'mandate' originates in the market and seeks minimum cost, people get rewarded for outcomes. In some cases in China, the rewards come from 'looking busy working on a high-priority government project'. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is some kind of 'crackdown' on the tech companies, perhaps deservedly so. Education companies can no longer be profit-making and can no longer teach core curricula - in other words, no more 'cram schools'. Chinese citizens can do whatever they want with whatever money they have. They can't float financing from western stock markets or Chinese 'shadow banks'. This limits the ability of entrepreneurs to concentrate capital, which keeps projects small - and unthreatening to CCP power. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SUZNV + 1,197 October 30, 2021 Here is a good channel for comparing US vs China for most of the important things. This guy lived in China for 10 years and have a Chinese wife. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9bAk_mhPIo For chip industry China is lagging behind US, Taiwan and Korea and start lagging Japan and Europe since Trump banned some key parts of chip to China and Biden yet reversed the most important parts. And it is the infrastructure for everything in Industry 4.0 especially AI because it increases the capacity and scalability to handle and process big data cheaply to train for AI. And AI is everything for boosting productivity in any area in the next decade: blockchain, bio, military, space, ESG etc... All Xi care is about winning the election next year to be Chairman for life and if he succeeds, he will have to stop the China property bubble right now and start restructuring the economy less depend on increase GDP number depends on building empty house as a speculating tokens. China innovations was based on private sector yet Xi is try to squeeze it because the bubble is in the private sector and Xi will need poor people to support him. That is the reason for common prosperity theme nowadays which forces the private corporations to donate to the poor while the private sectors only around 35% of the economy (the housing bubble is not considered private sectors and it is need land from local government to develop), unlike in other developed countries with "tax the rich" theme because private sectors is about 60% of the economy. Xi's double loop boosting export and domestic consumption goals conflict with each other. Export needs cheap labors to stay productivity per cost while Boosting domestic consumption depend on the household incomes increases in the middle class and the young middle class in China is locked with debt, just like the young middle class in Korea or US. Even top talents engineers in middle class are working in a 9 9 6 culture. It is more likely China takes back Taiwan to make an excuse for the bubble collapse and consolidate Xi's power for life, betting on US too chaos with politics to help Taiwan, face a few years sanction and then bribing its way out of the sanction, promising cheap labor and big investment gain from "the dip" than China conquers the world with technology from catching up behind. The current theme of China will catch up with us around US and EU mainstream media is just for the stock price and bigger share in the infrastructure stimulus after covid19, footed by middle class in the future.

Nothing to do with AI and arguably more detrimental to the ARM architecture (which is the primary one for smartphones) than China in the long run (because there are fully Open Sources alternatives like RISC V) Ditto for stopping Android sales to Huawei.

EUV lithography is not really in full production. Only for critical bits. What does Trump got to say over technology that is not even American? (there is one Dutch and one Japanese provider, AFAIK) ARM patents are beyond stale. All they own is the ISA. You are as confused as any American about there being any freedom in US. There is much advertising to the effect, but it is not really the same as having it. I don't approve of the Chinese policy of sheltering their citizens. Russian one is better - let the citizens work up the resistance to the toxic Western media. Sheltering their citizenry like that was one of the most significant, if not most significant, contribution to the Soviet demise, IMHO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
