Short version: they can’t. Just like with a lot of “CIA-style” espionage claims, the “evidence” is usually an IP that resolves to somewhere in China. That’s it. No magic, and not exactly convincing.

Any concrete examples? I’ve always wondered how a company that fully controls its tech and can leave a country at anytime can be “forced” to transfer its core tech. From what I’ve seen, what gets transferred is usually older, commoditized o

I haven’t seen much detailed analysis on this demographic topic. The question is whether technology bends the curve. If renewables, robotics, and AI mature and are deeply integrated before that demographic crunch fully bites, the labor shor

I'd like to offer a couple of additional perspectives on the discussion around China's approach to intellectual property. Firstly, it's important to recognize that challenges with IP protection in China are not exclusively an

These "Winner/Loser" headlines are great for click-through rates, less so for drawing any conclusions beyond the incredibly superficial. The real story is always at the micro level. Anyone declaring a macro entity a perpetual

Zeihan as a source? That's... optimistic. More entertainer than analyst. Premature to write off 1B+ on the birth rate issue. Remember peak oil? We adapt. Alternatives exist (and will).

The United States maintains the world's most powerful corporations and attracts exceptional talent, yet appears to be hastening toward what some consider an inevitable conflict—one that exists largely in political rhetoric rather than

The 80-hour workweek isn’t some grand anomaly; it’s simply the natural outcome of the fierce competition in China’s market. If you want a good job, you have to give it your all—because if you don’t, there will always be someone smarter, fas

You better read news from media carefully, especially U.S. news on China: 1. "China's defense budget stays under 1.5% of GDP for years".True. 2. "China will increase its defense budget 7.2% this year".True.

One thing that confuses me is how short-term Americans tend to think about certain issues. For example, how can you be so certain that a country like China cannot transition into a more democratized society? Are you basing that assumption s

Your words made me picture a typical American tech worker: 1.Bashes China with zero facts or sources, parroting English journalists who can’t read Chinese or grasp its nuances. 2.Lacks historical knowledge and critical thinking, clinging to

The simplest answer to your question is "it exists" and "iMessage isn't important," but instead, you chose to write a whole fiction for your brain. If that's critical thinking, I'd call it hallucination.

maybe some basic math here: - How many stayed in the US and are still contributing? - How many went back to China? - How many actually stole anything? I'll leave it to you to dig up the data. It should be a good exercise.

one thing bothers me is that: americans, even americans in tech industry, seems place a ton of trust in the CIA. you know the government often lies, and the media does too. but you seem to really buy into everything the CIA puts out. I'

Let's be real, the top talent in China flocks to the tech world – internet, manufacturing, the whole shebang. Entertainment? Not so much. That industry's heavily regulated, you know? Look at what they've achieved: drones, ele
