What can I say, these people are brainwashed from birth to think that what they have is good. Once we put enough economic pressure on them the paper tiger will fold.

I don't need to read the article to know it's propaganda

It should be a norm to take articles from authoritarian state-owned outlets with many grains of salt. The common trope is to give the basic outline of the facts while ignoring the real issues: namely the fact that communist China is undemocratic, violates basic human rights and that it is a tarnish to anyone's reputation and character to turn a blind eye to this.

Give us a break. You link us to communist propaganda and expect us to take you seriously? The paper tiger Chinese government is insecure enough to take down songs from Les Miserables (https://www.economist.com/prospero/2019/06/14/do-you-hear-th...). There is no fair coverage without a free press, and my view is that we need to reinforce our allies in the Hong Kong and Taiwanese and wait out or even hasten the PRC's collapse. The Chinese people deserve liberation.

Yeah you think we want a communist dictatorship in the United States huh.

This is very untrue--if you look at math or machine learning terminology, the phrases used are actually direct literal translations of the constituent words. It is very understandable, even from my perspective as someone only slightly literate in Chinese.

Please no--clickers classes generally suck and distract from subtlety and overarching insights. Lectures without them in my experience have been vastly better designed.

You do realize that they design and manufacturer their own modems, right?
