A very jealous MAGAnese's take on why China is beating the US
Here is the full video if you think you can stomach the cringe
There is nothing really new there. It is the same old dismissal of Chinese achievements and success as just merely due to "slave labor" as if it is just brute force hordes of sweatshop workers or industrial espionage. It allows the racists to continue to dismiss and dehumanize non-whites as mindless robots incapable of being intelligent or being capable of innovation. This allows the racists to avoid self-reflection on their own economic or industrial flaws and they will take actions on the wrong issues, such as thinking that if they just tighten security they will stop technology theft and thus China's tech progress should come to a halt. This kind of thinking will fail and it will become ever more obvious as China continues to pull ahead in tech and have tech released for public use that the US does not have. How can China steal tech that does not exist anywhere else in the world? (I'm sure the delusional racists will say that the US had it all along under top security and that it just wasn't released to the public)
The next stage of the copium will be what they did with Japan. They will concede that Japan refines existing technology but still deny that it is "true" innovation. Among the mental gymnastics will be saying that new technology is still ultimately copying Western tech and not true innovation, even if the laws of physics means there will be convergent technology. (e.g. All planes with wings will be seen as copying even though wings are required for planes to fly at all).
They will always keep moving the goalposts so there is no point trying to debate these kinds of people.
