Better to not wear masks, in project mayhem we hide in plain sight

Yes, Xi made an announcement last week it will start off in one of the major cities with full removal in a few months. Chinese citizens will be able to sign up on all 'western' social media. The US opening Pandora's box with the TikTok ban has let the Genie out of the bottle. I suspect other tech to come out of China will make the US look like its living in the mid 1800s

Do you have a source for this, I was trying to find anything about it but couldn't.

Everything they accuse others of is what they want. The projection is absolutely insane. Children grooming, limiting free speech, stealing elections, stealing jobs, everything...

China is an entire economy built on intellectual property thievery

To be fair, espionage is a common thing throught history. This is nothing really morally wrong with copying from other countries.

By your definition, the US technically "stole" the atomic bomb from the nazis by "stealing" German scientists. I mean like... who cares.

Your argument should focus more on what the implications of what it means for China to become more powerful, not the "intellectual property aspect. Like what jurisdiction? The powerless UN? Is it "intellectual property" if we find a alien spacecraft and didn't ask the aliens for permission to reverse engineer it?

I wonder how this site manages to load the stylesheet 1 second after the content?

I was also curious about this (it's rather surprising news). This seems like tankie misinformation.

The only somewhat relevant source was this article in SCMP from Jan 17th where a Shanghai party official called from partial lifting of internet restrictions in some areas.

That being said, it doesn't look like this went over well:

It is not clear when the post was put online but it was removed on Friday morning.

Specifically, the Blackwall.

Pretty crazy how prescient Cyberpunk (and Neuromancer, etc.) are looking right now.

The shitheads have already threatened to use force against their allies in NATO and applied amnesty to participants in the coup attempt, so... Nothing is surprising anymore.
