A friend of mine just made the claim that tech-wise "China is 60 years behind the west"

posted 2 years ago

He was very adamant that this is the case, but he’s not some dipshit who gets all his info from reactionary sources, so I’m wondering where he got that specific number from. Anyone heard of it? The “60 years behind” thing I mean?

I love that complaint.

Like yeah? So? If you don’t like it manufacture your shit in America. Imagine giving a shit about Intellectual property theft.

Oh no! China is stealing all our military secrets!

Good, maybe they’ll build military hardware that will make Washington think twice about starting a genocidal, apocalyptic WWIII.

He did kinda start getting into that, but I managed to cut that shit off by asking him why that would even matter. He didn’t have an answer.

Meritocratic thinking. But of course almost no one doing the hard work of implementing solutions and solving problems in tech is adequately compensated relative to the profits their work creates.

I mean actual solutions, not like apps and shit.
