I wonder if it's possible to get a post about technology coming out of China without a "hurr durr they r spy!!1" comment. I don't see the same every time there's an article on a new Intel processor, for example.

Because China is not a normal country and all of its industry is controlled by the state. It desperately wants the world to forget that its the kind of country that runs over its citizens with tanks, uses forced labor and has hundreds of concentration camps, but it would be kind of silly to go along with that when it has not changed from that course.

Their long-term plan is to slow boil global opinion through a mass social engineering projects and propaganda into accepting that it's ok and normal for a government to operate in the way that the CCP does.

As long as the CCP is in power anything it does should should be observed about with a healthy dose of suspicion.

You got them mixed with Israel. From malicious spyware and surveillance to running over civilians with tanks.

Israel and China are both authoritarian shitholes, but China is much worse. Boycott both of them, as well as all the other authoritarian shitholes on this planet
