    It's because China is investing in training new generations of scientists and engineers. And yes, some day they'll probably have some groundbreaking tech like whatever comes after EUV lithography, and the US will be kicking itself for obstructing collaboration

    When that time comes, hopefully the Chinese government won't be as obstinate as the US is now (a very low bar to pass)

  • Carlson’s 1991 Trinity College yearbook lists him as a member of the “Dan White Society” and the “Jesse Helms Foundation.” White is the person who assassinated Harvey Milk, the groundbreaking out politician who urged gay people to “come out.” Helms, the late Republican senator from North Carolina, was notoriously racist and viciously anti-gay.

    Wut. I'm not sure if this is a distinction without a difference, or a subtle distinction that I need a better grasp on continental philosophy to comprehend.

    It's like saying a state doesn't take murder seriously - they take getting caught seriously. It's technically true if you parse it a certain way, but ultimately meaningless

    this kind of thing is not bad because it endangered people’s lives, it’s bad because it makes them look bad and might impact their exports

    Something can be bad for multiple reasons. Also, there's multiple actors here. The operators of the state-owned enterprise have different incentives than the regulators
