Huawei's 'entirely Chinese' desktop system does not use components made outside of China, yet they still rely on semiconductor supply chain that includes tools and materials from America, the Netherlands, and Japan.
At this point, I trust Chinese Tech more than I trust American Tech.
Open weights, open source contributions, their own supply chains not held at sword point, at the whims of an openly racist and undereducated administration.
And better at market capitalism than the US is, that’s for sure. I would do crimes to have a BYD EV in the garage even if they weren’t only $7,000.
But please, go on telling me about my freedoms about how our country is number one. I can’t even turn off the advertisements on this set-top box plugged into my TV.
If they have fully open source hardware and software/firmware, I actually do not object to it, in fact I’d prefer that regardless of what country made it.
But for context, I was originally born in China, and later immigrated to the us, so I have a higher skepticism of my former country than most westerners have, and its not because I was trying to be an American nationalist or anything like that.
But to be honest, at this point I’m not even that worried about privacy, its kinda near dead even in western democracies and most people dont seem to care, lowkey given up on trying to advocate for it. My biggest fear is actually censorship, and I’m not saying that the west wont attempt to push for more censorship too, but China has a bad rap for censorship, I’m leaning slight for anything thats not China (or russia or their allies). Like anyone really. Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Brazil, Mexico, and hopefully a big bloc like EUROPE.
I’m hoping for European tech honestly. Europe pls start investing more in tech and lead the democratic world! 🙏
