Just open your eyes and look at reality. TikTok, HarmonyOS, a rapidly advancing space program, and Shenzhen's 100% 5G coverage, and so on, did not come out of Silicon Valley. The writing is on the wall.

Tiktok is cool, but not a technology advancement. It wasn't even the first with the idea. HarmonyOS is just relabeled Android... https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/02/harmonyos-hands-on-huaweis-android-killer-is-just-android/ https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/02/harmonyos-hands-on-h...

  They went from making ball point pens in the 1980s to flying a rover Mars in 2021. So what if HarmonyOS is just rebranded Android? They modified it for their own designs, put in a few backdoors and it will achieve its purpose, capitalizing on the work of Westeners. They are standing on the shoulders of giants.

  HarmonyOS is absolutely not just rebranded Android. That is total nonsense, and that Ars article is ridiculously bereft of any understanding of HarmonyOS. HarmonyOS supports multiple kernels including Android/Linux

    > HarmonyOS supports multiple kernels including Android/Linux And it seems the only version that shipped ran exclusively on Android/Linux!

I open my eyes to data and objective, independent sources, where possible. And I think the aforementioned findings of fraud in academia have analogs across industries in China-- construction (typically the industry with highest most corrupt activities regardless of nation), food manufacturing, accounting & finance, etc.

  Here's an objective, independent source. I am a foreigner in China. Increasingly, robotics designed at my company are designed against Chinese chips because they are cheaper, more available, and therefore present less design risk. Meanwhile, a friend of mine in semiconductor trading just booked about a dozen life fortunes in a single month capitalising on the pain and suffering of conventional electronics producers with foreign BOMs.
