His world view aligns pretty well with Putin, so no need to silence or even kill him. Allowing a certain spectrum of public voices around the government position allows to create the illusion of free speach in Russia.
I've had one too (bought when they were super cheap because of Trump ban) but it was shit. The older generation Samsung I had before that held up way better so I've gone back to Samsung. The only thing China is leading in is building cheap copies of stuff invented in the free world. I don't know a single appliance / gadget / piece of tech that was actually invented or developed in China.
That's a completely other theme, who invented what. And the thing about Samsung being better or not is just preference.
That's your own fault.
Your first reply was its the cheap, crap stuff they're producing and that's a notion which is completely outdated.
You quoted my reply to someone saying we would need to say goodbye to modern technology if we tried not buying chinese. Which is nonsense because nothing modern originated in China. That's all I'm saying.
(Sorry for being off-topic in this thread).
I guess cheap and crap are a matter of perspective. I stand by what I said. I actually think it's true more so now than 5 years ago, but maybe I've just become more aware of it. Even the chinese know it which is why NIO etc. develop their cars in Munich.
It's a matter of facts. We'll have to agree to completely disagree on this one. Cheers.
Thanks for the explanation
Are you telling me you bought the Huwaii for another reason than the price? Be honest... (And even Huwaii has TSMC chips in it, does it not? Why?)
China has been closing shop ever since winnie the puh started trying to outshine Mao and Deng Xiaoping. Everyone can decide for themselves if that will keep / bring them to the cutting edge of technology. I'm not convinced.
I bought it cause it's quality and I'm really happy with it, just like I bought the previous one too.
That's absolute bollocks, tbh.
Give me some examples then!?
I can't recall a single product I have bought that was made in India.You can add India to the list too
India, China, Pakistan.... all need Russia's O&G.
So no concrete example then? Technology is all around us everyday, but what chinese invention is? They can spend a lot of money on building robots etc. but what new sensor have they invented? New motor? The only thing I can think of where they played a major role are solid state batteries. But that was an international collaboration that they were a part of.
Do you know what a patent is?
Yay they have a lot of patent applications to their own patent office. Great result.
Consumer electronics is only one part of the technology that is around us. There is automation and machines that you never heard of but are used in creating all those appliances and industry and automation usually from my experience always has a Chinese machine that isn't a "copy" of Italian, German or USA one. And they are quite good at it and used all around the world.
I have an Ingersoll Rand air compressor made in India. Some German brand(s) of hand tools, can't remember the name(s), are also made there. Beyond that I draw a blank.
I think it simply means that India won't support Russia's military in the current war, similarly as China don't deliver any weapons etc.
I can completely understand the thinking, especially with Germany being so nervous about the dangers of armies that they don't even have one. The US has basically said, "use tactical (or big) nukes and we'll bomb your forces and risk starting WWIII," which isn't something I can imagine Germany saying now or then.
It's inevitable that they will overtake. What will be interesting is when they are ahead. Will they be able to maintain the lead when it is their turn to innovate and be creative. The lack of free market competition will probably hamper them, If the crazies doesn't take over US, I'm pretty sure US will regain the lead pretty quickly.
