The decoupling has begun. Sentiment in the US toward China has never been as negative as it is now, from both sides of the aisle. I wouldn’t be surprised if we even see sanctions against China after the dust settles on this COVID fiasco.
- president 7y agoYou would have to start by decoupling investments in China and Wall Street and many politicians will not allow that to happen.
- qppo 7y agoEnforcing US IP protections isn't a partisan issue. I think it's crazy that people are trusting zoom for their critical communications (like design review meetings and screen sharing schematics/process diagrams!) when there's a non-zero chance that the CCP/PLA has the infrastructure to: cat '$COMPANY/zoom-chat.log' | grep '$TRADE_SECRET' | local_industry_boost.bash inb4 the whataboutism: yes, the US Government has (and might continue to) participated in state sponsored industrial espionage. But if I'm an American company, I'm not going to care about that. I've worked for at least one company that outright refused to do business in China or with certain companies that had oversized presence in mainland China because of experiences with this kind of problem. I know of some engineers that were arrested upon entry to the USA because they stole company IP and founded a company in China that used it. I know of another company that had network hardware compromised by an employee over there and was used to attempt to penetrate US networks (and if you wanna get spooked, they weren't alerted by their stateside infosec team, but federal authorities). I don't know why people treat me like a conspiracy theorist for bringing this up about Zoom routing data through China and using less-than-best-practice security.

- gvjddbnvdrbv 7y agoRun the audio through Google's voice API or similar. Then use grep.
- garmaine 7y agoYou mean Baidu’s.
- SubiculumCode 7y agoZoom as audio transcripting tech included. So.... yeah Grep.
- theshadowknows 7y agoLet’s get real here. The United States government is most certainly capable of doing everything we accuse China of doing and worse.
- jjeaff 7y agoThe US is no white knight. But it is not doing anything close to what the CCP does on a regular basis. When was the last time a Trump protestor or Obama protestor disappeared and was never heard from again? Or disappeared and show up again months later, 30 lbs lighter and apologetic about how wrong they were about the government?
- grugagag 7y agoIn this sense yes, absolutely. China is known for doing grotesque humanitarian violations. In another sense such as starting a war to deflect from problems at home, theres one champ and that is our democratic country. Either one doesn’t mean the other is doing something legitimate and is waranted shielding from criticism
- garmaine 7y agoThe US does not start wars to distract from problems at home. That’s conspiracy horse manure. Whether you want to believe it or not, every president that has ever started a conflict or US involvement in an existing conflict has felt the action justified on foreign policy reasons. Those reasons might be something you object with, or even downright stupid in hindsight. But only in Hollywood is it ever a smoke screen for domestic issues.
