Germany's worst fears are coming true: car brands moving production to China👇👇 The Electric Viking store/merchandise 👇👇https://shop.theelectricviking.com...
AFAIK Apple is the company that has moved to 3nm process before any other tech company. Apple’s camera are dog crap, but other than that they are streets ahead.
Sure, but I didn't say they were at the forefront in every facet of tech. That "just" in my comment you quoted is also doing some heavy lifting: they aren't only ("just") producing stolen IP-based tech; they are in part but not entirely. What I said was again two-fold:
Not everything they produce in tech is stolen IP, such as the network hardware I mentioned (see below); and
Since every country with tech manufacturing is engaging in corporate espionage, that is a useless metric to judge a country/company's trustworthiness.
Networking standards are agreed before implementation. It is not that the signal is stronger or there is a better reception. The difference between 4g and 5g is down to coding how the signal is sent.
There is plenty of room for advancement in network tech that's largely independent of the specific protocol it's carrying. That's why I mentioned Huawei in particular, because they have had some of the highest-throughput carrier-grade switches (that is, a single device can switch a much higher number of connections at a much higher bandwidth than alternatives). To simplify: instead of an ISP needing a dozen switches from a competitor to achieve the throughput of it's supported bandwidth for the number of customers it has, it might need only a couple of the Huawei switches. And, frankly, it can be the case that a particular piece of hardware is able to put out a stronger signal than alternatives, for the exact same protocol (e.g., 4G or 5G); you could very well produce a consumer grade WiFi router with larger signal range, or a cellular tower with a larger signal range (yes, there are physical limitations to these, but we aren't saturating that in general yet).
This really is not the case. Companies look to steal tech not nations.
Well as I said the USA as a nation performs corporate espionage on foreign companies who are direct competitors to a USA-based company. I would think other nations do too, but I didn't look that far as I have more familiarity with my chosen point of reference, the USA, and all I needed to show was existence.
As for how good Huawei is, how do you think they got the expertise.
Once again, missing the point. You can't steal tech that your competitor doesn't have. If they were producing the exact same tech, you could speculate that it's purely stolen IP. But if they're at the forefront, as I've said, they can't possibly have stolen it (else, the people they stole it from would also be able to produce it).
Not only that but they are interfering in politics of other nations. They have a campaign to intimidate citizens of other states, right up to the point of kidnapping.
This is blatantly false xenophobic fearmongering and frankly off-topic to this conversation. The original point was that it was irrational (fueled by racism and/or xenophobia) to flatly distrust Chinese tech. I mean, if you wan't to play there, would you not consider the USA's meddling in foreign politics, including having colonies, and funding and helping enact coups and installing puppets, to be just as problematic? To preempt, it's not whataboutism to point out a double-standard: if you don't trust Chinese tech for the reason you just listed, you also can't trust USA tech (or really any "Western" tech for that matter). But if you aren't so flatly distrusting of Western tech just by nature of being produced by the West, you need to assess why you are flatly distrusting of Chinese tech just by nature of it being produced by China.
So no that is not racism. That is taking a moral approach to not trust a rogue state ran by a dictator.
It is racism, because it's founded in the racist notions of "Orientalist mystery", Yellow Peril, Western chauvinism, and white supremacy. It's hypocritical to take a "moral approach" to only one country; if it was truly a moral approach, you would apply it to any other country having the problematic characteristics you're trying to point out. Also "rogue state" here is meaningless, and it's not ran by a dictator (but I think you either know that, and don't care, because it's keeping with popular rhetoric, or don't know that, because you don't care enough to educate yourself and would rather keep with popular rhetoric).

Sorry but this one that dropped was a little too good to be missed. https://citizenlab.ca/2023/08/vulnerabilities-in-sogou-keyboard-encryption/
Totally trustworthy!
Have a good life my friend.
