I shouldn't be surprised that China caught up and quickly with US tech companies. As someone who has worked for a few US tech companies myself, I have had more Chinese and Indian coworkers than American coworkers.

And OFC they must have the right to refuse to provide services like transit.

That's common practice and it's called #DROP [ #DontRouteOrPeer ] and it's the reason the #PRC can't #DDoS the entire internet with their #GreatCannon [which is weaponization of #GreatFirewall infrastructure]...

@yogthos the #PRC is #capitalist in that it never was communist, but operated on state-capitalism at most.

In fact, I'd argue it's worse in terms of investment and economy cuz unlike the USA or India one's success depends on being in good terms with Winnie Pooh and pissing him off is basically a death sentence to any serious business.

That makes it bad even for convinced hardcore capitalists...

@yogthos So does every nation to some extent.

Granted if you know me and my opinions [I don't expect you to have checked out my entire feed] you'd know that I think #HumanRights are not negotiable.

Basics like housing, food, water, freedom of movement, ban of forced labour, right to defend oneself and one's mutuals, etc.

I don't deny said ties - that would be foolish.

I just think that by every metric and skew #Taiwan is freer than the #PRC...

Everything else would be #LyingWithNumbers...

@chowderman @amayer @buermoy plz don't use #LinkShorteners as they are susceptible to #LinkRot.

The lack of #Resolve by #NATO members #UK & #USA to follow their obligations as per #BudapestMemorandum are seen as a sign of #weakness.

For the UK this was evident with the lack of reaction regarding the #PRC's violation of the Joint #SinoBritishDeclaration in #Hongkong.

Thus the #MilitaryAid is a sorry excuse for the lack of #BootsOnTheGround that would be expectable as per treaty.

@buermoy point is that the "#PRC" doesn't like how #Putin pissed on their #BeltAndRoadInitative which had both #Ukraine and #Russia as part of the #transit corridors and linked nations.

Reducing the GDP growth and costing them billions if not trillions.

And that is really angering Xi.

"Zhejiang leaked (then deleted, confirmed by Caixin) Cremated Bodies for 2023 Q1: 171k, 67k above trend. Zhejiang's cremation rate is ~100% and its elderly pop is 4.5% of China's total. This would give China's estimated COVID excess death 1.5m+. Note Zhejiang is the richest area."

Estaba yo revisando resultados de las anteriores elecciones y ojo en #Cantabria, que el #PRC no se presenta y fue tercera fuerza (21% de los votos) en 2019. Ahora, el #CIS estimaba que se repartirían 2 PSOE, 2 PP y el quinto estaría en disputa entre #Sumar y #Vox.

El voto "útil" no es siempre para el partido más grande, sino para el que pueda transformarlo en escaño! #23J #Elecciones
