I disagree, China is a massive intra market that breeds the best companies— it’s how DJI and shein dominated the west so quickly because they’d already had to survive in the Chinese market in the first place.

Alibaba being a monopoly was acting like Google and Facebook and stifling competition and not contributing to innovation but rather, sitting on rentier money and thereby stifling competition and innovation. Why was google so shocked at Microsoft and chatGPT? If they lived up to their own hype they wouldn’t have been so shocked such that they along with all the other tech giants are cutting back and laying off staff.

Microsoft itself is a big dominant "monopoly". It so happens that microsoft has been doing better than google in recent AI software. Microsoft has their own search engine software competing against google, in addition to their Windows, Office, gaming and cloud software etc. All these various products have allowed microsoft to remain competitive.

Microsoft didn’t innovate chatGPT, it bought openAI which pioneered the machine learning that enabled chatGPT. Basically it stole a march on Google which is why Google was in such a panic, they prematurely released their own chat or which failed spectacularl.
These American companies didn’t innovate by themselves per se, they pulled a faceberg and bought out competitors.

China and Singapore agree to upgrade ties, paving way for hi-tech cooperation

" Beijing and Singapore have agreed to upgrade their ties and extend cooperation to science and technology as well as supply chains, capping Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s week-long trip to China.

In a joint statement on Saturday, both sides agreed to upgrade bilateral relations to an all-round, high-quality, future-oriented partnership, a move which they said reflected their “desire to set the strategic direction and chart the development of bilateral relations going forward”.

The decision means China and Singapore can strengthen cooperation in areas including trade, investment, the digital economy, food security, finance and aviation, according to the joint statement.

China will join CPTPP. The others inside the CPTPP do not really have a choice.

Some members of CPTPP do not want China to be a member. Other members do.

China will just sign the same agreement with the other members.

Then flood the CPTPP market with goods targeting those who did not let China join.

One way or other, China will assert itself in it own neighbourhood, and especially towards those shits.

:)

When will they join the cptpp?

I have faith that the most ardent racists like pompeo and bannon will accept Chinese as superior, even if it kills them.

if you give money to the west, you’re just begging to be robbed

meanwhile, the Swiss still hope that more Chinese will come and buy shit from them, heavens know the Swiss need the patronage badly since banking isnt their forte anymore.

speaking of banks, there’s a silent bank run ongoing

Splitting alibaba into 6 companies, is like splitting amazon into a couple of companies, reducing their competitiveness, efficiency and discouraging them from investing into new ventures, both within and outside of their companies. Sooner or later the government will split byd and catl for being too "dominant" in their industries.
What world or country do you live in for you to say that post with a straight face. Ask any Canadians here what they think of their INDUSTRY CHAMPIONS like Rogers, Bell, Telus, in telecommunications Loblaws in grocery chain if those companies have made Canadian lives better, more affordable, and most importantly made the country the cutting edge in innovation etc.. You love to spew hypothetical when the reality on the ground for your flawed assumptions already exist in many countries around the world.

What are you talking about? The new BING AI is a result of their buying Open AI which was responsible for ChatGPT.

Why wouldn't Singapore not choose better economic conditions for itself over a perceived security threat from China that will never materialize unless your country decides in some retarded reason that Chinese immigrants are no longer welcome in Singapore which would he hillarious if not outright stupid not to mention an insult to many Singaporeans of Chinese descent who carved out their own destiny in an infested mosquito island so it can safe haven for the mostly Chinese ethnic Malaysians who now call themselves as Singaporeans.
