Well the EU and Canada seem to be terrified of putting a foot wrong with the CPC, so my guess is that Chinese companies will violate people's privacy until it becomes so blatant that they get a polite request to tone it down (and obfuscate the collection).
- TomMarius 7y agoThe EU is not terrified, it (or rather, the local politicians) is corrupt; the politicians are willing to go as far as kissing the Chinese flag but that does not say anything about us, the citizens.
- morsch 7y agoThis brand of sharp minded and well sourced political analysis is what I appreciate about HN. The good thing is, I keep seeing more and more of it.
- orestarod 7y agoYou expect a URL for every word written? The stories showing how everyone in the West bends in order not to anger CPC are out there and well known. You can't have a recap of human history in every comment.
- danielrpa 7y agoHN comments aren't scientific papers. While (good) references will strengthen any argument and are welcome, I find opinions here valuable even when sources are not immediately available. You can always do your own research and paste links confirming/rejecting any statement if you so desire.
- arcturus17 7y agoAmericans are not? Look at how they bent the knee with Huawei and ZTE. Also can’t figure out how to produce hardware in their home soil, as much as they’d like to.
- tekknik 7y agooh we can most definitely manufacture a phone, but since we don’t have slave labor and questionable human rights it costs us more to do so.
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoAutomation seems like the answer. Surprised it hasn't come to that already. Hand-labor today is used as an interim solution, when the scale doesn't justify bespoke automated assembly line. When factories are 'brought back' to the West, its because they scaled up and automation is now affordable.
