Why is that ironic? The US talks about stealing/preventing others from stealing stuff from them too, not sure why this would be surprising.
- Grombobulous 5mo agoThat was the irony, that the US accuses China of stealing IP with the assumption that US IP is superior. Now the tables have turned and China is the country with the superior IP.

- embedding-shape 5mo agoBoth countries have been accusing each other of stealing technologies since forever, nothing here is new. No tables have been turned, unless you've been sleeping under a rock for the last three decades.
- Erem 5mo agoWestern media has been overwhelmingly one sided regarding state led IP theft for the last three decades. China steals western IP has been the story, and it hasn't been even a little balanced until reading this.

- embedding-shape 5mo agoOf course national media is biased, that's why you read news from multiple countries so you don't end up in such echo-chambers. I'm assuming we're talking about reality here, not "as reported by US media", but I guess if it's the latter, I could see how some Americans thinks it is now irony.
- Grombobulous 5mo agoIn the context of automotive technology, the tables have absolutely turned. There was nobody anywhere interested in Chinese automotive technology 10 years ago. What company has better mass market battery technology than BYD? Who else has megawatt fast charging? BYD sells more vehicles globally than Honda. I think that concept would have been unthinkable to the general public not very long ago.
- embedding-shape 5mo ago> In the context of automotive technology Ah, you're talking exclusively about cars? Still don't see the irony, but I guess the new claim you make isn't as outlandish as your initial claim.
- zulux 5mo agoChina has better execution. China's aviation, chip, space, and military tech are weaker than those of the West.
- Grombobulous 5mo agoUsually it’s better to have the best technology, but at some point execution and scale lead to having the best overall solution.
- orwin 5mo agoHaving the best tech do not often result in the most sales.
