There is plenty of truth to much of the china situation, not just FUD. While the Potus has bounced between 'i love china' and 'we need to do something about these people', the rampant IP theft negatively affects nearly everyone on HN.
- freeflight 8y ago> There is plenty of truth to much of the china situation, not just FUD. Yet FUD is all we get and people eat it up like the best thing ever. Even here on HN barely anybody questioned the Super Micro narrative, even tho that Bloomberg story was super sketchy from the very beginning by not disclosing who did that audit, just like their inability to produce a sample of the chip. Trump also never "bounced" on China, China is pretty much the only thing he doesn't bounce on, it's been his one constant since the election [0] and just because he throws an "I love China" in there, does not reflect or change any of his policy decisions. This is much more "I love my enemies because they are so stupid" posturing [1] than an declaration of actual sympathies.
