This is a legitimate situation. Why should Huawei continue to financially support ARM? When their legal usage of the ARM IP is now on shaky ground, just because some president can easily revoke their privilege to use it.
I say fck it! Burn down their IP with ARM. Billions of dollars wasted, and go all in with RISC-V. At least this way, they can at least control their own future, and create an alternate and independent China technology IP system.
The western countries are accusing China of fake genocide here, such as suppressing the Uyghur culture, their language, their food, their clothing, even their haircuts.
But yet, H&M is a western brand, that sells jeans and T-shirt, which are western style clothes.
So, if the Uyghurs are buying and wearing H&M clothes, instead of traditional Uyghur clothes, then they are in effect genociding themselves.
So therefore, H&M and the West, are in effect, helping to genocide Uyghur culture.
The funny thing also, is that one of the most famous Chinese actresses right now, is Dilraba Dilmurat, of the Uyghur ethnicity. And she is rising in stardom in the Chinese entertainment world.
So if the Chinese are really trying to genocide the Uyghurs, then I highly doubt they’d let a Uyghur girl rise up too far in their entertainment culture.
Can you imagine the Nazis promoting Jews in their films? That is the analogy here.

First of all, that's not a fake genocide. Forced cultural assimilation is still considered genocide.
Second, the accusations are far more serious - concentration camps with various human rights abuses. That's in classic genocide territory, going as far as the Herrero and Namaqua one.

The comparison isn't apt, because the Chinese don't claim Uyghurs are enemies of the people or w/e, just that their culture is terrorist. They're doing cultural assimilation, not mass extermination ( mostly). So a culturally assimilated actress is a perfect tool - see, they're not all bad, it's not in their blood/race!
> Forced cultural assimilation is still considered genocide.
Interesting point of view there. You sure you want to die on this hill?
Ok, let’s take that a step further.
In the Western countries, the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe, they all force their immigrants to culturally assimilate. They do this by socially shaming the immigrants to adopt local names, and to not speak their own native language.
This is very prevalent in the white countries, where white people scream out: “Why don’t you speak English, and learn our culture!”
And in grade schools, the immigrants are mocked for being foreign.
And what does the government do about this? Nothing. They turn a blind eye. They let society handle the cultural genocide for them. I’m sorry, to use your phrase: the forced cultural assimilation.
This is their technique. And it allows them to have a plausible deniability to the situation.
Hell, even in the western countries, women are banned from wearing their burqas and facial veils.
And then, speaking of concentration camps, then don’t you agree that the United States had their own concentration camps when they arrested all the Japanese and threw them into the American Concentration Camps? This was only 70 years ago, so it’s not very far back in American history.
And furthermore, the United States and the other western countries, have their own techniques of genociding foreign culture. They do this through Hollywood, by casting Asian males as weirdly foreign, incompetent, and ignorant to the western ways. If this is not cultural genocide, per your own definition, then I don’t know what is.

This happens by a sub group of Conservative regressive minority of the population. It is not government sanctioned and in most of the countries you mentioned not supported by the majority of the public opinion. These are exceptions not the rule.
> And in grade schools, the immigrants are mocked for being foreign.
You're comparing the behavior of petulant children against government policy of the CPC? Apt, I suppose, if that's the standard you hold them to.
I'm not sure i want to engage it shitty whataboutism, but here it goes:
> Hell, even in the western countries, women are banned from wearing their burqas and facial veils.
It's not about assimilation of a foreign culture, it's about an unacceptable practice part of a foreign culture. Similar to genital mutilation which is accepted in some cultures and religions, but really shouldn't be and that's why it's forbidden in some places. You can practice your culture all you want, but you can't show everyone that you treat women like shit because your holy book said so 2 millennia ago.
> And then, speaking of concentration camps, then don’t you agree that the United States had their own concentration camps when they arrested all the Japanese and threw them into the American Concentration Camps? This was only 70 years ago, so it’s not very far back in American history.
There are people as stupid as this? Yes, Japanese internment in the US is the US putting people in concentration camp based on racial profiling, and was terrible, and probably illegal.
> This is very prevalent in the white countries, where white people scream out: “Why don’t you speak English, and learn our culture!”
Yes, white=English, it's obvious how basic your argument is.
> They do this by socially shaming the immigrants to adopt local names, and to not speak their own native language.
> And in grade schools, the immigrants are mocked for being foreign.
You can't generalise like this. I'm living in "white" ( i fucking hate using that term, it's useless ) France, and it's really not the case.

How did the Chinese fail to contain Covid, when serological tests showed that the virus was already present in the United States, in Seattle, back in December 2019?
We still don’t know if it was in the United States earlier than this, because the American authorities refuse to investigate it.
And it was already present in Europe, in Italy and Spain, in November 2019. So it was detected in Europe, after the fact, before it was even known in China.
So, given this information, how is this China’s fault, when they themselves discovered and isolated the virus in December 2019?
Can you please use some mental gymnastics here to help us all understand how this is all China’s fault?
What if instead, the virus came in from elsewhere, but China got hit the hardest first, but their disease tracking system was the first to actually detect the virus? Because apparently, the rest of the western countries all failed to detect it.
The virus most likely came from a bat via another animal, and that's highly unlikely to have happened in any of the countries you mentioned. And considering how China responded to the outbreak in Wuhan, it's absolutely certain they won't be forthcoming to disclose previous outbreaks if they find evidence about them ( like the US and some European countries did)
This is just conjecture. You have no evidence to support this.
And there are bats in Austin, Texas! You’re saying that the bats in Austin are clean, and disease free, while the bats in China, somehow only carry the virus?
Sensodyne does not have Novamin in the USA(insert conspiracy theory here). You'd either have to import it from a reputable supplier, or try an alternative like Apagard or Biomin F(both of those have to be imported too, but are more readily available).
Uh... no, not likely. Nuclear weapons have some utility as a deterrent to invasion, but they're useless in most kinds of war.
The US would fight to prevent China taking over Taiwan by force, and Japan and others would assist them, but if China succeeded, the US wouldn't choose to start the third world war by using weapons carelessly... it would accomplish nothing at all.
This is a good thing. Prior to this, we were all lemmings that were told to come into the office, to sit at a desk in front of our laptop or monitor, and type away at a keyboard.
The 2 hour daily round trip commute would wear us down. It would increase pollution and oil consumption. It would congest traffic, and city transportation services could not add enough roads, buses, trains, and subways fast enough to handle the load.
And it would get everyone sick, as everyone always caught a variant of the seasonal flu.
Now, we can all work safely from home. Just Zoom In and instant virtual meeting. Daily stand ups are a breeze. No need to schedule a small conference room that might be in overbooked availability.
It separates those that creates tools and products for business, vs those that consumes such tools to build further analytical results.
The greatest thing for me, is that I have not gotten sick in over a year. No flu. No cold. No sniffles. Incredible. Even if I worked late into the night, and on some days, I had little sleep, I still didn’t get sick. This proves to me, that the greatest vector of disease transmission is in the office. And probably the open office concept, that forced everyone into the same pig pen, and got everyone sick together.
America has enough land mass to handle the 350 million people that we have. It’s better to spread out. Instead of cramming us all in to small cities.
Perhaps hot cities like Phoenix or Houston or Austin can finally bloom, because of this pandemic. They can work remotely during the daytime, in their nice air conditioned homes. And then at night, they can go out and socialize in the city with their friends and families, or make new friends.
We can imagine a newer and better reality for all. We just need the courage and will to do it. Or maybe, we just needed a little push from a little virus to make us think a different way.
That radar technology from World War 2 era is able to detect stealth aircraft. The Russians just built up more of that kind of radar band to detect current stealth planes.
This is how the F-117 got shot down in Yugoslavia. It was supposed to have the radar cross section of a small bird.
The pop culture version of stealth providing perfect invisibility was always a lie.
But it does provide decreased detection range. If your radar detects a traditional plane at 300 nm but a stealth plane at 30 nm, you're effectively blind as a bat.

Stealth technology apparently isn't that good for old school low frequency radars, so yes, there's a grain of truth there. But such radars provide poor resolution (which is why modern radars tend to use higher frequencies) so they are not that useful for targeting. That F-117 case was AFAIU a combination of poor operational planning (flying the same routes over and over again), as well as a 'lucky' shot.
There's of course a lot of research into 'stealth-defeating' technologies. IR guided missiles, multistatic radar etc.
