I'm flagging this because while I agree China is a hostile power, it's detrimental to stoke the flames of war like this.
- MajimasEyepatch 3y agoHey, they're the ones who keep talking about invading Taiwan. Authoritarian regimes tend to be surprisingly honest about their intentions. Believe them when they tell you what they're going to do.
- no_wizard 3y agoThey’re the ones who have been stoking it for decades. Stealing trade secrets, forcing Chinese ownership of operations on companies to continue operating in China or they’d be forced to sell/shutdown and a host of other documented economic policies that are far more damaging than this to foreign companies in China. Honestly it’s shocking the US looked the other way for so long
- trashtester 3y agoThe possibility of war between the US and China within our lifetime is a known and all-to-realistic possibility, which has been public knowledge for a number of years. I don't agree that acknowledging that in any way stokes the flames of war. Having to tip-toe around the fact would be severely detrimental to the quality of discussion on HN, though.
