The tightrope walk of "Beijing bad" and "Tim Cook good" has been the most entertaining Stratechery arc to date. I can't wait to see the look on their face when they discover which American business advocated most for weakened Western market regulation and the expansion of China's industrial base.
- skmurphy 6mo agoThat "American business advocated most for weakened Western market regulation and the expansion of China's industrial base" is clearly stated in the excerpt I posted from the article: "The West’s greed and complacency became Chinese tailwinds, IP theft was rampant, expertise and trillions of dollars were willingly transferred, industrial and institutional leverage was ceded."

- aksss 6mo agoYou would prefer emotional and impassioned hyperbole? Arm waving and hand-wringing? Self-flagellation? Navel-gazing? Struggle sessions?
- bigyabai 6mo agoAll of those are preferable to the United States losing hegemonic global status to China, yes. Sue me for preferring honesty over euphemism.
