If you really want to blackpill yourself, look up the Confucius Institutes sometime. The CCP has managed to worm its way into a significant number of universities across the globe, and pretty much the only thing these institutes do is run propaganda campaigns and spy on research projects/domestic persons of interest. A disgusting number of them still operate openly today, and it was only back in 2019 that the US Government finally started clamping down on them (in our country at least).
How?
THEY'RE PUTTING CHEMICALS IN THE SOIL THAT TURN THE FREAKING LAND GAY!
Thots will now be patrolled federally.
They don't want to lose the lobbying money, too.
lol calm down
Chink movies are garbage so we still have the cultural advantage, but it seems their money is dragging our movies down to their level. That said, they're the perfect enemy for globohomo because they are basically yellow Nazis.
It's supposed to mean not concentrating everything important in New York and San Fran. It's actually a good thing to promote, most of the socialist agitation in the US is because there's immense pressure for young educated people to move to the same few urban centers and then pay thousands a month for a little pod. If that's their experience of "capitalism" can you really blame them for getting radicalised? Plus this concentration destroys birth rates, because the big cities are too crowded for them to even think about having kids, and everywhere else is depressed because of brain drain.
it hurts
More like they've been using their money to hold Western movies back so they can catch up. They don't really give a shit about our media but a tiny audience for them is a huge market to leave on the table.
The question is how good are they at innovation? it seems that besides replication, their actual ability to develop novel technologies or incentives their creation is lagging based on their cultural, educational, and economic systems.
The government stuff is overblown. I won't go into it much because it's hard to talk about without pissing someone off and fagging up the thread but you have to go out of your way to get on the list, and things that'll get you there are pretty clear-cut. Probably much less of a minefield than trying to do something interesting in Hollywood.
Oh I see, you mean in an entertainment context, and not just in scientific innovation and patents generally. I can see that some of the govt stuff may be overblown, but going after Jack Ma is pretty serious, even if it's relatively rare.
The problem with that is that the infrastructure for funnelling talent is one-sided too. The Daily Wire tries to make movies like "Run, Hide Fight", but you only hear about them because lefty rags make fun of them. Because if you make a non-woke movie studio, the only people you can find to work for you are those who couldn't find work in the more mainstream movie scene and are desperate enough to try their luck with you, and a small handful of people who made it all the way through the schools and the industry but somehow retain right wing ideology.
I can't really judge objectively on every field but I think the focus has been on speedrunning their development in general. Getting that experience in figuring out how to come back and catch up from absolutely nothing so quickly is why they're able to outsource it to Africa; they're experts now. And across the board; judging by how many Chinese papers I surprisingly have to reference when researching something now they seem heavily invested in everything. Where they go from here remains to be seen in terms of innovation, but they needed the knowldge and infrastructure in place first, and it seems to have worked out for Japan and Korea once they worked up to parity.
