    Sorry for the late response 😅

    But to put it briefly, I was just kinda fascinated by the Chinese tech scene. Specifically the smartphone market post-2019 huawei ban. That led me into learning about china infrastructure efforts.

    I don’t think I’d call myself “pro-china.” I’m not “pro-any country.” But I think that it’s genuinely a pretty neat place I’d like to visit someday.

    PS, this video is really fucking cool 😁

    Clickbaity title, but I found it super informative.

      All good! Thanks for getting back to me. Yeah the tech scene is one where China’s dominance is undeniable, it went 'China can’t make anything > China can only copy > China must be stealing to get ahead > We have to stop China from innovating"

      Even my tech bro workmates recognise that efforts to hold things like DeepSeek and TikTok back are geopolitically motivated
