lol. It's almost as if the entire reason that China is not a backward stagnant economy is because they allowed people to own things, on their own. But here we'll just close our eyes and pretend that didn't happen.
- jariel 6y agoNot really, we apparently accept that Chinese companies are privately owned, that's the stated legality. That 'all large Chinese companies are controlled to a greater or lesser degree by the state' - is a matter of fact highly suppressed and obfuscated by the state for purposes of aggressie control and statecraft. Nobody cares that much that there's a degree of 'central planning' to grow the Chinese economy. People care a lot that Huawei states they are 99% employee-owned, but in reality we don't really know who actually holds the power and that it seems more likely that the state has deep levers of control. It would be more transparent to just accept that Zoom and TikTok can and will be used as tools of the CCP. As far as Google and reviews ... it's going to be important that they remain very transparent and above board in such issues given all of the relevant factors.
- powerapple 6y agoSo all the success of all Chinese companies are led by the CCP, why don't the world (west) give up? They seem to be a perfect leader for world economy :)
- bmn__ 6y agoThat's not how it works. You've put up an argumentative strawman.
