It feels like people are intentionally forgetting what happened yesterday, and what is happening today.
First, we know that China is attacking our infrastructure. We know that China/Russia and other countries have tried to use social media to destabilize the US. We know that they are encouraging flame wars and division. So why are we all so stupid to fall for it?
We know that China copies and steals technology from other companies. I feel like I’m channeling Commander Sisko here “Isn’t it possible that they stole the technology for DeepSeek?” Yes, its possible and likely. “Isn’t it possible that they are lying about what it takes to run it?” Yes, its possible and likely.
Now why would they do this? Because they want to cause economic harm to the US. I’m not saying that the US is the only place that can innovate. I’m not even saying we are the best. But think about the more likely scenario. If a company can devalue and cause economic chaos by lying, why wouldn’t they?
China has every reason with its terrible economy to try to push the US to rely on them more. Even if they had a superior product, which reviewers say they don’t, they simply can’t be trusted. No company that censors its information is any basis that we want to build on.
Moreover, by installing Chinese apps we are giving them access to our data and information. Why are we helping them? If feels like people have lost their damn minds. We are being attacked by China/Russia and other countries. They are stealing from us everyday and you want to support their AI app? Explain how that is a helpful decision.
There are so many YouTubers who show how China lies to its own citizens in the most crude and ridiculous ways. Why wouldn’t they lie to the rest of the world when they can gain prestige and power and economic hope. Why are we helping people who hurt us? Why?
