Yeah I'd also like to understand why they are doing this.

Everyone expects these sites to scrape as much personal information as possible (China did not invent that, they are following), but beyond that any additional imagined state-ran initiative would be server side, right? What is worth hiding in the front end beyond preventing people re-using their code? (which would be overkill to use a VM for, as light obfuscation would be enough)

This is interesting, but would be nice to submit a blog post if the site doesn't explain or document itself.

Hacker news love to hear about the developers journey :)

I see it differently. China and USA are both dependant on Taiwan.

China and USA are diverging with or without war. The question is will Taiwan's capacity be claimed by China, or will it be massively downgraded.

Taiwan Foreign Minister Joseph Wu has literally said war is imminent.

I agree the WMD situation was a low point in morality and humanity. But this situation has a massively different dynamic.

You're making massive assumptions about my background.

Taiwan Foreign Minister Joseph Wu literally said yesterday his country is preparing for war. I think he'd know.

Maybe this underestimates the complexity in setting up these facilities, the time required, and the skills involved.

For sure. Yet I'm not convinced America can take that too far. So I wonder if it is willing/wanting to lose the Silicon factories, and cause a giant technological reset

China would be at a massive disadvantage if it won Taiwan and lost the chip factories. That really would be a massive cold war, then.

No BS is fine, but there are different variations on that :)
