>independent innovation

As a Chinese, you may also know the inherent hatred and despisement towards "foreigners" mainly the "white skinned pigs", believing that the "foreigners" deserve anything done to them, it's just payback time for what they had done to the Qing dynasty otherwise China would have "still" been the greatest and most powerful country, right?

And the "No matter the cat black or white, it's a good cat if caught the rat" kind winner-take-all, by fair means or foul, mentality is never more prevalent in today's China?

>full 5G solution provider

This refrain again, you really should read less Chinese propaganda, Huawei has always been mainly an assembler and modifier like ZTE, just because they have that cellphone SoC which itself is not that advanced and original and handicapped on GPU, so magically Huawei is now a tech giant?

Tear down what ever Huawei product and especially tele equipment and see how many key parts are "innovated" by Huawei? And how many are from the "foreigners"?

Even that overblown SoC is cobbled together with all kinds of licensed IPs and algorithms from companies all over the world.

Such an innovative and successful marketing company.

Next time whitewashing China, do your homework first, your nonsense works wonderfully in China, but not anywhere else.

>think the US has much to be stolen by China, think twice.

Sounds just like straight from the CCTV with a gigantic complex.

Also have a look at China's latest invention.

>screen savers

You should just turn off the screen when you are away

Maybe make LCD laptop screens decent first?

Hard to buy an affordable laptop with decent screen, bascially all crap with garbage gamut, literally hurt eyes.

It's a shame laptop makers are willing to add those useless entry level discrete GPUs yet are too stingy to spend 20 to 30 bucks more on the display.

Passenger jet is not only a matter of wether you can produce it, what's most important is wether it's cheap to fly, otherwise no one other than Chinese state airliners would buy it.
Re:Chinese Crankshafts (2012) on Monday December 31, 2018 @10:16AM (#18794797)
They want to make money, and make it fast, when you ask them whether they can produce it, they are not gonna let the business slip away.

Don't know it? Hire someone. No equipment? Borrow or lease. No plant? Find one. Still can't make it? Place an order to someone who can.

Re:Chinese Crankshafts (2012) on Monday December 31, 2018 @10:09AM (#18794766)
I'm simply pointing out a fact, which isn't my imagination, I've worked in Japanese high tech PCB plant in China and saw first hand what the reality is, according to the Chinese who went to the company's Japan operation to study, the Japanese made better products using older equipment.

Chinese bullet train technology was bascially bought from Germany and Japan, and I've read mutiple times that they know how to manufacture it by designs (still rely on those two for some key parts), but don't know how to improve it coz don't know why.

But the propaganda made it sound like China invented it, and it's so advanced.

Re:Chinese Crankshafts (2012) on Monday December 31, 2018 @09:11AM (#18794530)
Pretty sure all those Chinese high-tech factories' robots are either bought from Germany, japan, or Taiwan.

Don't get me wrong, Chinese do manufacture these robots too,but from the Chinese news reports I've read, the durability just isn't there, and they relies on either Germany or Japan for key parts.

>favors white Americans

Only if you mindlessly praise anything Chinese, like how much better their food, systems, culture and products are, believe me they love these, that way you can probably become an internet celebrity.

But once they discovered you betrayed them in anyway, you are done, you are back to your "white-skinned pigs" normal.

Wonder how many of his Chinese fans will be cursing him for this one.
The fact that Confucianism has been dutifully promoted and propagated by nearly every Chinese emperor, either insurgent-turned or self-proclaimed like the current one, attests that it's truly a powerful reigning tool.

Also Shang Yang's five principles of subjugating subjects: 愚民(idiotizing),弱民(weakening),疲民(exhausting),辱民(demeaning),贫民(impoverishing)。

Didn't attend US highschool, but from the movies and TV shows I've seen about it, coolness and popularity seem to be commonly put on a pedestal, I can only say it's just 3 years of your probable 70+ years' life, so what's cool and popular for kids in high school maybe isn't as important after it.

I mean Greece is selling EU permanent residency to Chinese for 250K euros (property purchse), you can take with you all your parents and kids, best of all, it doesn't require you to actually live there to get it.

>China needs a port for their Navy

China already has a naval base in Djibouti near the American one.

And it's not like if China want to use the port to park their military vessels, Kenya somehow would refuse them.

I mean China literally operates their vital railway and terminals.

As for their culture, I'm afraid it's already done. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/05/world/africa/ethiopia-gov...

I'd say it's worth it for Kenya, these are huge money-losing projects anyway,

Re:Chinese companies rally around Huawei after CFO arrest on Tuesday December 25, 2018 @11:32PM (#18760527)
The problem here is not that China retailated against Canada coz the US.

China has retailated against South Korea, Japan and Sweden, Canada is just waiting in the line, it's just a matter of when, they will find the cause.

The problem here is not China acted now, is that they can and will act like this successfully and without consequences. CCP just love to stoke and ride this hatred, they need moments like this to cement themselves.

You don't see China and Chinese threatening to retaliate agaisnt and boycott America (they just did and basically failed), coz they know they can't yet, but any other country? it's really just when.

Re:Chinese companies rally around Huawei after CFO arrest on Tuesday December 25, 2018 @10:09PM (#18760215)
They are boycotting Canadian brands.
That's one aspect, the opposite side of it is if you don't violate the laws you can't survive coz everyone else is doing so, powerful ones even get free pass.
