Reply to comment by ShihPoosRule in U.S. plans new limits on tech sent to Chinese firms by WallStreetDoesntBet

What a horrific view of the world.

Hoarding technology to ensure it is not used to improve people's lives.. unless we profit from it.

How self serving. This attitude towards technology and medicine is disgusting. For shame.

What is really horrific is how uneducated some of these comments are...when a simple google search could clue you in on exactly what the CCP has been doing to deserve such sanctions.

Using medical technology to cure the sick?

Deploying mobile payment systems with speed and penetration that makes Americans jealous?

Would you suggest that the country that elected Trump is a more appropriate model for how to do things?

>everything we buy from them is made by slave children

.. I suppose you're implying that America is the good guy in this equation? Looks like two very shitty guys to me.

You can take every single point above and apply it to America, a couple of them require a simple word substitution.

  • Using tech for weapons development
  • Attempting to end install democracies
  • Supporting Creating an authoritarian government with a lifelong ruler, then killing said ruler 25 years later.
  • Using slave labor
  • Attempting usurpation of South China Sea earth
  • Allying itself with Russia
  • Undermining human rights globally
  • Building a surveillance state

Yep, you can take every point - except voting and having a two party political system and no social credit authority. I can talk shit about my government and they can't do shit. Fuck Xi - can they they say that without repercussions?

I'd like to know how you do weapons development without technology.

​

>Attempting to end democracies

Which democracies? You mean Taiwan, Hong Kong? These are Chinese territories, The US has no say over how China runs its own country.

​

>Supporting an authoritarian government with a lifelong ruler

The US has no say over how China runs its own country.

​

>Using slave labor

Even if this is true, what has it got to do with technology? Also, slave labour, dude glass houses and stones.

​

>Attempting usurpation of South China Sea

Are these companies 'usurping' the South China Sea, which is claimed by China and many other regional nations. Are the other nations in the South China Sea conflict getting technology companies sanctioned?

​

>Allying itself with Russia

So countries are not allowed to choose allies that you disagree with? Why is that?

​

>Undermining human rights globally

What? How exactly?

​

I like your proof here, it is as good as CNN with just blatant statements with nothing to back them up.
