Its economical, as you might learn if Chine doesnt like something in your product and removes half of your target audience overnight.

I wish there was a way to filter out political news here.
It's telling that all of it is about China, and rarely any on Kashmir, Iraq, Sudan, or Turkey.

China is a huge country with a huge tech presence that many of us are exposed to. I don’t know of many tech startups in Kashmir, Iraq, Sudan, Turkey, I guess others are similar, so they don’t get as much attention here.

Furthermore, there's so much technology being utilized in this conflict. The GFW, social credit scores, facial recognition, an army of censors policing chat rooms... there's a lot of dystopian science fiction materializing here. Some of it using technologies that "we" are familiar with or even work on.
