Political Memes

USA's brand of capitalism has IP protections, such as patent, copyrights, and trademarks. None of which China actually follows.

China is well known to conduct significant corporate espionage. (IE: hackers targeting corporations like Microsoft or Sony, not really people with "critical national secrets" but instead software they'd rather keep secret). China also hacks for national-security purposes too I'm sure.

I mean, still better than the Russian hackers or North Korean ones that focus on randomware. China at least is trying to get economic benefits out of it, but... its clearly built up on a lot of stolen tech.

There isn't anything inherent with an EV to necessitate video/audio recording capabilities.

If you're concerned about an EV having that ability, you should be equally concerned about traditional vehicles as well.

A federal employee installing any social media app on a work phone is a big deal

Huawei makes phone servers. Its not a social media app. That 5G network is literally the thing that routes phone calls to each other. You're grossly underestimating the threat at play in this meme.

Whenever a cell phone makes a phone call, it goes to a cell-tower, and inside of a cell-tower is a "phone server" so to speak. I don't know the full details, but 5G, 4G, (etc. etc.) are the different generations of phone servers available.

That's every phone call, every text message, every packet, everything that goes to your cell phone goes through that cell-phone tower / 5G network. And for "some reason", China has dumped the prices of Huawei equipment and highly encouraged the USA to buy their phone equipment and servers. Uhhhhhh.... yeah.

If you're looking at the "Tik Tok" ban whatever, that's peanuts. Huawei was brought up by the meme. So lets talk Huawei. Dumbass meme doesn't understand how telephones work. Its a serious national security concern for good reasons.

Have you looked at domestic automobile manufacturing in the last, I dunno, 3-5 decades?

Have you literally heard of the United Auto Workers?

I think you're bullshitting me. Last I heard, UAW pointed out huge productivity gains for their union and make a shit-ton of cars across hundreds of factories across the USA. Like, what the fuck man, do you even know America?

Because China is about to attack Taiwan, which has 60%+ of the world computer chips.

That means no iPhones, no Snapdragon (Android phones), no XBox, no PS5, no AMD (Servers), no AMD/Xilinx (aka: F35), no NVidia GPUs if that attack goes off successfully. It'd be a major effect on the US technology sector, which is where I'm employed (and where many others are employed). This is a vital economic and technological issue.

If we lose the upcoming China vs Taiwan fight, its not just like "Oh I feel bad" like the Ukrainian situation (trust me, I'm hugely supportive of the Ukrainians). But Ukraine doesn't have a major economy / export tied to the USA's economy like Taiwan does.

China has made something like 400 nuclear weapons in the past 5 years or so. They're preparing for something. The current bets are on a Taiwan invasion, which has been a sorespot for them for the past century.

I don't think China is going to use those nukes per se, they just want nuclear parity with "somebody". So its clear they're likely planning to attack USA (or some other major nuclear power), which would coincide with a Taiwan attack (USA would almost certainly rush to protect this vital economic center for us, leading into a China vs USA war). The nukes are the just-in-case option for China, its likely going to try to stay conventional.

We can, we just choose not to

That implies the US is trying to stop it.

Yes. You just change to England now? Because you have no rebuttal on china and all those things I stated aren’t like new news that I gotta go pull up sources for you.

China's a person? I thought it was a nation, and you said personal attacks. Sounds like you're a little salty about China being a shitstained leech of a country.
