Disingenuous is what you and the other teenie tankies are doing here.

Can you prove you aren’t a Chinese propaganda parrot? What you are doing is just deflecting as all these alt accounts have been doing here on Lemmy for a long time… and that’s a huge red flag lit up in the night sky. There is ample evidence from multiple reliable sources.

’m not arguing the part about China.

All you do is trying to deflect the topic from China to something else.

There is also a video on social media about this. Questionable are only such comments trying to whitewash Chinese Transnational Repression.

They seem to create a European payment ecosystem for all use cases imo. As the article says,

… to progressively deliver seamless cross-border payments (peer-to-peer, in-store and online) across Europe …

My understanding is that they are also open for future members in the alliance.

What has this to do with the linked article’s topic?

Some attempts to engage in whataboutism is almost hilarious.

Italian fashion brands have been becoming under heavy pressure over probes by Italian authorities because of labour abuse and exploitation of Chinese migrant workers at subcontractors’ workshops on Italian soil, where the brands produced some of their products. It’s supposedly easier to produce in China, where labour laws are much weaker and workers’ rights are de-facto non-existent.

This effects not only Gucci but more or less all Italian brands.

… not even the US government claims it was genocide.

This is wrong.

Uyghur Genocide (links to the U.S. House)

The last entry is from 21 September 2026,

Today, Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the Select Committee on China (SCC) and SCC member Congressman Tom Suozzi (D-NY) led a resolution marking the eighth anniversary of the forcible disappearance of Dr. Gulshan Abbas by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Dr. Abbas, a Uyghur medical doctor who was sentenced in 2019 during a secret trial to a 20-year prison term because her Uyghur American sister, criticized the CCP at a public event in the United States. The resolution calls on the Trump administration to prioritize Dr. Abbas’s immediate and unconditional release.

You find more across the web from very reliable sources. Just stay away from your Chinese propaganda slop.

This ‘top court’ is under the same CCP rule as this medium.

A patent boom is certainly a meaningful indicator of innovative capacity, but it does not necessarily equate to technological supremacy. China’s patents is not commensurate with the importance of its patents as a large part of these patents aren’t even renewed (it’s also in the WIPO report).

The issue with scientific publication is similar issue. Even the Chinese state-controlled media like the South China Morning Post has published article on AI-powered fraud and Chinese paper mills are mass-producing fake academic research. The FT wrote, China’s fake science industry: how ‘paper mills’ threaten progress,

… China’s impressive output [of scientific research] masks systemic inefficiencies and an underbelly of low-quality and fraudulent research. Academics complain about the crushing pressure to publish to gain prized positions at research universities.

“To survive in Chinese academia, we have many KPIs [key performance indicators] to hit. So when we publish, we focus on quantity over quality,” says a physics lecturer from a prominent Beijing university. “When prospective employers look at our CVs, it is much easier for them to judge the quantity of our output over the quality of the research,” he adds …

The headline numbers alone are meaningless. If we look closer, we’ll see a different picture.

Futurism links to the SCMP (which acts under the Chinese Communist Party’s censorship regime) which in turn is referencing a CNAS’ ‘online event’ and a ‘CNAS report published last week’, though there are no links to the online event nor the report.

I couldn’t find the online event, but here is the report for those who want to read it: Superpowers and AGI - How U.S.-China Competition Could Be Shaped by the Emergence of Artificial General Intelligence

The linked article is quoting Stokes, for example, saying,

“Data centers can be bombed with conventional munitions,”

and,

“Bombing would cross a major threshold that heretofore has not been crossed in US-China relations.”

I can’t find these and other quotations from the linked article in the original report (not even the SCMP is quoting these).

In the original report, there is no mention of a “US military strike against China” as the SCMP headline tries to make people believe.

In the original report, words like ‘bombing’ and ‘espionage’ - quoted by Futurism - don’t even exist.

Though the report discusses the U.S./China rivalry regarding AGI, it does so in a much larger and more diverse frame, including the common U.S./China competition with the Global South and other regions, what supposedly happened if and when any other country develops AGI first, and more things related to this topic. It is by no means a report “U.S. versus China” as the linked article (and the SCMP) makes people believe.

AI critic Eliezer Yudkowsky - which is also not mentioned in the SCMP - indeed suggested in 2023 that countries needed to be ready to “destroy a rogue da center by airstrike," but this was not directed specifically to China or any other country. He meant that as a possible (and, for now, theoretical) future measure in case a data center becomes dangerous for humans and humanity at some point in the future.

But you can perfectly combine all these fake quotations and half-truths to create a hopelessly distorted reality. This is pure propaganda aiming to sow division.

While data on tech tours is scarce, broader industrial tourism is booming. China’s industrial tourism sector ⁠pulled in $17.8 billion last year, according to state media, and is projected to blow past 300 billion yuan ($44.6 billion) by 2029.

Shanghai-based tech tour agency GloPen says inquiries jumped 50% in 2026 from mostly European and Singaporean clients, and it now ​runs over 100 single-day company tours every month.

This is another hype to tell the so-called “China story” with an article that falls short of any in-depth content.

But the podcaster will help to spread the word.

In other articles, one author wrote that “I went to China to see a different AI future. It looked familiar”,

My trip to China revealed an AI race that looks less like a clash of competing visions, and more like two countries racing toward a similar future.

Can we be sure that you aren’t a pro-China, pro-Russia propaganda bot who says that tankies are ‘well-informed’ and who says the tankies’ cheering on Russia’s violent actions against Ukraine is just because they have ‘different values’ as one can see from your post history?

Thanks. I provided an archived link. Doesn’t it work? (Here all seems fine.)

I watched this interview, and the most important detail in my opinion in this interview was he supports use of force on Taiwan, but he refuses to say why exactly. His arguments remain weak. Maybe the reason is money?

China has been Malaysia’s best trade deficit partner (and the deficits has quadrupled over the last ten years). As a ‘partner’ of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, Malaysia also seeks investments.

China’s special administrative region, Hong Kong, is Malaysia’s second largest foreign direct investment contributor (second only to Singapore, according to 2023 data). One prominent example was the investment by Chinese-owned INV New Material Technology in a lithium-ion battery plant in Penang.

Malaysia’s Port Klang plays also a growing role in shifting global supply chains.The Port Klang Free Zone has received a surge of inquiries from everywhere, but especially from China, not in the least as the country’s mercantilist policy seeks relief from higher US tariffs.

China is spending billions on many forms of disinformation campaigns in all countries. OpenAI recently identified two clusters of disinformation accounts, as one report says,

• The accounts are likely from a private Chinese company, that used ChatGPT to generate fake pro-American commentary opposing data centers.
• The ‘Data Center Bandwagon’ group operated from late 2025 to early 2026, posing on X as Americans via VPNs while prompting ChatGPT in Simplified Chinese.
• OpenAI rated the campaigns Category One on its Breakout Scale, meaning they stayed on one platform and generated virtually no authentic engagement.

As much as I dislike OpenAI and its management’s attitudes, it’s also clear that China is interfering also here. It’s common practice for Chinese disinformation campaigners to exploit existing issues to sow division among Western societies for its own gains.

Please stop citing sources that are explicitly pro-China and pro-Russian, and, therefore, anti-democratic.

Greyzone is well-known to hire ex-'editors from Russia’s propaganda outlets RT and Sputnik, among them are Mohamed Elmaazi, Dan Cohen, Rania Khalek, Kit Klarenberg, Jeremy Loffredo, Wyatt Reed, Anya Parampil, Alex Rubinstein (you’ll find a lot of articles by them on the website).

Greyzone has also frequently echoing Chinese Communist Party propaganda, the outlet is even often cited by Chinese officials. As one article by ProPublica wrote in 2020,

When Hua Chunying, a spokeswoman for China’s Foreign Ministry, tweeted that reports of mass detention camps for China’s Uighur Muslim minority were the “LIE of the CENTURY,” she cited an article in the Grayzone, a website founded by Max Blumenthal, a frequent contributor to RT and the Russian-controlled Sputnik news agency. Similarly, Chinese government spokesperson Zhao Lijian’s tweet that the coronavirus originated in the U.S. cited a website previously found by NATO to spread Russian propaganda.

The independent media outlet Coda Story published an article on how Max Blumenthal, the founder of Grayzone, downplayed Beijing’s actions in Xinjiang on international TV. In Enter the Grayzone: fringe leftists deny the scale of China’s Uyghur oppression, it states,

On July 25 [2020], Max Blumenthal, the founder and editor of the far-left news site The Grayzone, went on Going Underground, a current affairs show broadcast by the Russian state-controlled TV channel RT. On air, he questioned the scale of the detention of Uyghurs in camps in China’s northwestern Xinjiang province …

Blumenthal’s statements met with outrage online and many social media users accused him of ignoring one of the largest-scale human rights violations of the 21st century …

There is much more across the web. Your sources are outright rubbish.

This is not a ‘brain drain’ from Taiwan because of poor labour conditions. Chinese companies - often concealing their identities and pretending to be Taiwanese - are trying to poach away tech talent. Your comment reverses the meaning of this article if I may say so.
