stephenthinkpad posted:You know how ARM got around the "tech company being forced to choose between China or US" dilemma? For what it's worth, I think it's notable that OpenKylin is advertised to work on RISC V. I remember reading that there is a slow uptick in riscv chips being made in China, due in part to the sanctions.

USSR was reformed by anticommunists and PRC was reformed by communists, therefore one continues on a path of socialist development and the other collapsed

stephenthinkpad posted:China only liberalized the consumer market economy in the 80s 90s, it took a long time to open the other markets (education, medical, finance), the political realm was not "liberalized". ok, what if the us and its allies continue to sanction and tariff and militarily surround china to an extreme degree.i don’t think china needs to “react” for that to happen

Like the US blanket sanctioned Huawei probably expect China would sanction Apple and Qualcomm in return, but China's current strategy is to make money outside of the 1 billion population western zone instead of engaging in trade war. There are some sanctions of MIC companies but nothing against the silicon companies. I think the goal is keep the contest tension and temperature low so the third worlds can continue to trade with China without worrying. One thing about the third worlds in Latin America, ASEAN and MENA is that the regular people don't care about the Sino-US contest but the ruling elites are very susceptibility to western influence. In fact, we probably will see the Chinese strategy again from how the tiktok dispute playout, I predict it will take the longest and soft route on the court room. And when the court take the US government's side eventually, tictok will go web app for the US market instead of selling it off. Tariff just doesn't work, is it even a net positive to US and net negative to China with the 15-20% tariff? If Trump come back, he said he will bring the tariff 40%. I believe he will do it, and the whole country to find out what good it will do. Beijing probably will react a lot stronger if the US actually deliver the weapons they promised to Taiwan. Right now they are just keep taking weapon order money without sending over anything to Taiwan (and Japan and Philippines.) Maybe the US is just scamming Taiwan for protection money? I genuinely not sure whether US has a plan with Taiwan. stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 13:47 on Mar 11, 2024 |

I am not going to watch the show because I hate GoT S8. I just don't understand why Netflix optioned that book series instead of other more soapy scifi. Something that has more aliens can filmed in the TV setting. Diamond Age+Snow Crash, or Book of New Sun for high brow, or Ringworld, Mass Effect for trashy soap.

One of China's major criticisms of the Soviet Union at the time was that they were too friendly with the US. The difference really was Destalinsation. The Soviet people sacrificed so much from 1917 to 1953 for a better world, and then were told their sacrifices were actually the Communist Party forcing them to endure those deprivations needlessly. Of course the next generation of Bolsheviks were going to grow up to become liberals and work towards the destruction of the USSR.

The resources, time, and effort spent bringing down the Soviets were, by necessity, not being spent elsewhere. Were they not spent on the Soviets, they would have been spent elsewhere. For all of China's incredible achievements, one cannot ignore the shield provided to it by the mere existence of the Soviet Union. And to combine the two points brought up above, even when the Soviets were trying to not be targeted so much, they were still targeted without a second of reprieve, and being the shield of the Socialist world, whether they wanted to or not.

This is why Deng's "70% good, 30% bad" assessment of Mao--despite Deng's significant personal suffering during the Cultural Revolution--was a stroke of genius, as is the CPC's constant struggle that continues to the present day against the issue you mention above, which they call "historical nihilism."

It's ludicrous to say that USSR didn't choose commerce - it was denied to them! Another huge motivation for the Warsaw Pact was to form an economic trading bloc as well. But worse even is I already said it was my guess. I don't know which factor is the primary factor or any single factor caused the '91 event . The reason I said too ideological was this. Deng let people have limited discussion and experimentation on economic policies but no discussion on political reforms. It didn't make sense or seem fair, but it was a practical move. Gorbachev was trying to make economic and politic reforms at the same time, trying to have a correct structures. Hence my comment of too ideological. quote:Forums poster stephenthinkpad, the CIA sabotaged electronic imports to the USSR that, among other things, wrecked pressure regulation flows from the new exploits of the West Siberian oilfields, which got several people in Western Europe to break the line and start considering trading negotiations. And this was in a phase of "better relations". How do you think things went when American congressmen were banging the drum about shooting every red in the Western Hemisphere? So what do you think caused the dissolution of USSR? It was definitely not the western sanctions on import goods. As we can see sanctions in the current decade, the US has never imposed effective sanctions on any country, nor effective ban on any substance inside the US. The bigger the target country, the less effective the sanction it is. Sanction is basically a "piss at you from my high horse" P.R. move. my dad posted:The resources, time, and effort spent bringing down the Soviets were, by necessity, not being spent elsewhere. Were they not spent on the Soviets, they would have been spent elsewhere. I basically agree with this. Some times I think PRC just had better luck than the Soviet, by being later to the battle field and late to become enemy number one. Like even this Ukraine war IMO is lucky for PRC, because Russia Federation has caught up so much of the US waning empire's fury by being the first one flip the table coming out of Covid. stephenthinkpad has issued a correction as of 23:49 on Mar 11, 2024 |
