It’s hilarious how far ahead they are of America and that America’s entire strategy to stay ahead of them is just to straight up deny reality.
Wonder how long it’s gonna take Americans to be confused about why the rest of the world gets reliable electric vehicles for $10k but in the greatest country on earth it’s $40k because affordable electric sedans would kill 3 separate vehicle markets.
Protectionism is a good strategy if it’s accompanied by industrial development.
The “onshoring” campaign has been a flop, though. All the development has been sucked up by AI grifters, there’s nothing productive being built to actually counter Huawei. It would seem this stage of capitalist development is actually incapable of further development.
Ehh kinda skeptical of protections in general feel like people should be able to get the best product regardless of who makes it but that’s more of a discussion about how ubiquitous “the state” is.
Although I totally see how it can be a benefit and like you said it’s way different to charge extra for a foreign competitor to increase competitiveness of a domestic equivalent but when the options are “pay a 100% tarrif and go fuck yourself or just go fuck yourself” I’d hope even the most burger brained liberal would start formulating some questions.

That just means that foreign manufacturers and service providers can eliminate the competition from domestic companies in a local market, making a country more (or even entirely) dependent on foreign companies and states. Lack of protectionist measures has never made a country wealthy, and has been something that the imperial core push onto the countries in the periphery.
Yes, it does mean that, in the short term, the people might get a worse access to goods and services, but in the long run it is undoubtedly beneficial.

the british still think they are a world power and that they were a massively important power in WW2

Definitely many decades still. Americans are still shocked at how developed urban cities have become in developing countries and those countries have modern medical equipment in hospitals and clinics lol

Huawei is an amazing company. Love them
Their barbaric social credit score incentivising being normal, our noble credit score which arbitrarily gains or loses points every month and determines whether you’re worthy of accessing housing and transportation.
Our totally rational credit score that goes down if you have everything paid off and don’t have monthly credit card payments.
Literally have to set up a system to put yourself slightly in debt every month to show you’re capable of paying off debt.
china legit only has a business credit score. nothing for people https://foreignpolicy.com/2021/09/15/china-social-credit-system-authoritarian/
Aside from this “social credit” thing being a western myth that any Chinese person would be confused to hear about, it’s just from americans cuz of their shitty credit score system
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
In a scene from the The Rings of Power, Amazon’s lavish but somewhat unloved Lord of the Rings prequel, a mob of sword-wielding, scaly-faced orcs go at Sauron like a table of famished diners at a bloody steak. Seemingly vanquished, the wannabe Dark Lord pulls off a disappearing trick only to return as a misshapen tangle of black fibers, gorging on vermin and eventually people until he is rebuilt in human form, albeit unrecognizable.
who approved this for the opening paragarph
havent tried a huawei phone in a few years, should try to grab one. i found xiaomi build quality was better as of like 3 or 4 years ago.
I’ve always hated Xiaomi’s custom UI despite their great hardware. Huawei was a good balance back before the sanctions, though if you can’t live without google stuff Honor phones are the “successor”.
*mi phones have an unlockable bootloader, so you can flash whatever you want, very wide lineageos support. huawei can’t.
