I don't think I have to clarify that I meant banning social media and such.

That was what inspired me to make them at the first place! although it got less common

Less incentive for high-speed rail is the issue not that they can't pull it off. It's not state of the art technology at this point.

I get that you have something to say about the US in general but I'm strictly talking about HSR and chip fab. China will never going to succeed on this chip war unless they steal all the shit that the US, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and many European countries been r&d-ing for decades and even then, it'll make no sense financially to have them all.

Also don't forget the fact that all the brightest minds on this face of the Earth is flying to the US while China desperately try to piss every one else off. That certainly doesn't help China too.

I used to make miniature food models for fun.

Not really good at it but it's useless and fun.

Even the US outsources various parts of chip manufacturing. If it's as simple as high-speed rail, the US can and will do it by themselves.

But it's not. China has no chance of winning the US by this way. Only possible way I would say is to steal technologies and that's what they're doing as well.

Elon is full of shit but banning "propaganda" sites sets a dangerous precedent. Who decides what qualifies? It's a slippery slope to censorship. It just sends a wrong message to whoever in charge.

Better approach: Promote critical thinking and media literacy. Empower people to evaluate information themselves.

Free speech isn't always comfortable, but it's a foundation for a healthy democracy.
