Thread: Brave New World

Guess that must make a lot of these people dumb as fuck too-

Why would they think such a thing, those oppressed masses?







Western Innumeracy & Chinese Growth - by Godfree Roberts

snubs- "because they're dumb as fuck".

Jeez, sabang, wonder what the poll would show in 2022.

Plenty of dissent in Shanghai and HK about Covid policy, for sure (I'm with them too). But how might that effect "Is my country headed in the right direction?". I don't reckon it would be that dramatic a change.

It’s not Brave and it’s certainly not new.

Its Sabangs version of a bad dream, with ‘facts’ Made in China. More cheap plastic gimicks for the masses. More broken disappointments.

IMF estimates 'Made in China'?
IPSOS (listed French multinational) 'Made in China'?

I don't think so swish- but you certainly help explain why the Chinese are winning.

The Chinese, and their leader are under pressure to revise the current disastrous policies on Covid. Even now, the leader is trying to bully the members who will decide if his future is valid or not. His future is far from assured because he dare not fail.
He needs another term as leader to justify his failure. That is not guaranteed and he can’t back down now. It will be a long six months for the leader to convince his fellow communists that he knows best.
Its all falling apart but you are too blinkered to see it.

Mr. Shithole will be "reeducating" anyone who decides they don't like him staying on.

United States Imports - March 2022 Data - 1950-2021 Historical - April Forecast

China Exports - March 2022 Data - 1981-2021 Historical - April Forecast - Calendar

What NaGastan buyers considers to be "cheap plastic gimicks" you'll need to check with them.

I believe that you deliberately misunderstood my post.
Cheap plastic rubbish was a metaphor, for the third rate faux copies of other countries technology, that the Chinese are flooding the market with today.

It has nothing to do with buyer specifications. It’s based on price, because the Chinese have an almost inexhaustible supply of cheap labour.

You being thick does not change that, however gullible you might wish to appear. These products are bought by stupid people everywhere. The danger is, some western companies might try to hide the country of origin for these toys, just because people like you are so gullible.

This video by Roman the Russian explains why all the "polls" that morons like the Three Stooges quote all the time are total horseshit...

Former Intelligence Officials, Citing Russia, Say Big Tech Monopoly Power is Vital to National Security

When the U.S. security state announces that Big Tech's centralized censorship power must be preserved, we should ask what this reveals about whom this regime serves.


A group of former intelligence and national security officials on Monday issued a jointly signed letter warning that pending legislative attempts to restrict or break up the power of Big Tech monopolies — Facebook, Google, and Amazon — would jeopardize national security because, they argue, their centralized censorship power is crucial to advancing U.S. foreign policy. The majority of this letter is devoted to repeatedly invoking the grave threat allegedly posed to the U.S. by Russia as illustrated by the invasion of Ukraine, and it repeatedly points to the dangers of Putin and the Kremlin to justify the need to preserve Big Tech's power in its maximalist form. Any attempts to restrict Big Tech's monopolistic power would therefore undermine the U.S. fight against Moscow.

While one of their central claims is that Big Tech monopoly power is necessary to combat (i.e., censor) “foreign disinformation,” several of these officials are themselves leading disinformation agents: many were the same former intelligence officials who signed the now-infamous-and-debunked pre-election letter fraudulently claiming that the authentic Hunter Biden emails had the "hallmarks” of Russia disinformation (former Obama Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former Obama CIA Director Michael Morrell, former Obama CIA/Pentagon chief Leon Panetta). Others who signed this new letter have strong financial ties to the Big Tech corporations whose power they are defending in the name of national security (Morrell, Panetta, former Bush National Security Adviser Fran Townsend).

The ostensible purpose of the letter is to warn of the national security dangers from two different bipartisan bills — one pending in the Senate, the other in the House — that would prohibit Big Tech monopolies from using their vertical power to "discriminate” against competitors (the way Google, for instance, uses its search engine business to bury the videos of competitors to its YouTube property, such as Rumble, or the way Google and Apple use their stores and Amazon uses its domination over hosting services to destroy competitors).

One bill in the Senate is co-sponsored by Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA), and has attracted ample support in both parties, as has a similar House bill co-sponsored by House Antitrust Committee Chair David Cicilline (D-RI) and ranking member Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO). The amount of bipartisan support each bill has garnered — and the widespread animosity toward Big Tech reflected by this Congressional support — has shocked Google, Amazon, Apple, and Facebook lobbyists, who are accustomed to getting their way in Washington with lavish donations to the key politicians in each party.

This letter by former national security officials is, in one sense, an act of desperation. The bills have received the support of the key committees with jurisdiction over antitrust and Big Tech. In the Senate, five conservative Republican Committee members who have been outspoken critics of Big Tech power — Grassley, Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Josh Hawley (R-MI), Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) — joined with Democrats to ensure the passage of one bill out of the Judiciary Committee by a 16-6 vote, with a companion bill passing that Committee with the support of 20 of twenty-two Senators. As The Intercept's Sara Sirota and Ryan Grim report: “Both bills have Big Tech reeling” since “a floor vote would likely be a blowout for Big Tech.”

The extreme animus harbored by large parts of the left and right toward Big Tech make it very difficult for any lawmaker to go on record in opposition to these proposed bills if they are forced to publicly take a position in a floor vote. Many Senators with financial ties to Big Tech — including the two California Senate Democrats who represent Silicon Valley and are recipients of their largesse (Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Alex Padilla) — have expressed reservations about these reform efforts and have refused to co-sponsor the bill, yet still voted YES when forced to vote in Committee. This shows that public pressure to rein in Big Tech is becoming too large to enable Silicon Valley to force lawmakers to ignore their constituents’ wishes with lobbyist donations. These politicians will work behind the scenes to kill efforts to rein in Big Tech, but will not vote against such efforts if forced to take a public position.

As a result, Big Tech's last hope is to keep the bill from reaching the floor where Senators would be forced to go on record, a goal they hope will be advanced by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York due to his close ties to Silicon Valley. “Both [Schumer's] children are on the payroll of companies the proposals would seek to rein in,” reported The New York Post: “Jessica Schumer is a registered lobbyist at Amazon, according to New York state records. Alison Schumer works at Facebook as a product marketing manager.” Despite that, Schumer claimed to The Intercept that he supports both bills and will vote in favor of them, even though he has engaged in maneuvers to impede the bills from getting a full floor vote.

Not seen the video. Let me guess. People are afraid to do anything other than to toe the line.

Sabang =
Getting ever more desperate.
When you have to resort to criticism of US politics, you flogging a dead horse.

As opposed to- if you have to resort to criticism of Chinese politics, given the results it is producing, you are not flagellating a dead horse?

Do try to remain relevant and on topic. I suspect you are not as dumb as you obviously want everyone to think you are. You could do so much better, but you don’t.

China is whooping your lily white ass whiteboy. Is that on topic enough for you? So that is their fault, right? Not your ruling class.

Roughly $600 billion is lost in the US alone in IP theft, much of which is then patented in China as 'original'.

A company I was working for did exactly that - reverse-engineer and patent.


Yet again, sabang, you talk shit

I just love failed businessmen lecturing me about business.

You shouldn't talk about the parasitic chinkies stealing IP around the world. It upsets sabang.

Thank you for the insults and for proving my original point.

When you intend to use humour, test it first. Another summary fail.

Don't worry, it's four wanketeers SOP to try and change the conversation when they're getting their arses handed to them on a plate.

As opposed to you getting your collective ass handed to you on a silver platter?

Fun guys.
