World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I don't see how China can be prevented in becoming a global leader in many or even most industries and technologies. The more important they are, the greater the likelihood that China will take the lead, because they will make greater effort.
As I see it, China has the economy, educational system, people and leadership to achieve it.
USA has better economy, but lacks in leadership, and can't even maintain their infrastructure properly.
India has similar population, but is behind on economy and education.
Europe lacks in population and leadership, and is somewhat hampered by language barriers.
The only way to prevent Chinese dominance in the future, would be for USA, EU and allies to pull together. But there is zero political commitment in that direction, and with the election of Trump, I don't see that changing for at least the next 4 years. And without it, China will soon become undisputed economic industrial and technological leader of the world, because they have ALL the necessary ressources, and make the necessary political decisions followed up with economic incentives.
China is doing this in every key area, while USA is trying politically only in ONE SINGLE AREA!! (chips)
There is no doubt who has the political leadership for the future.
PS: I am absolutely not a fan of China and their 1 party system, or their foreign policies ATM, they have become more aggressive in international politics and against their neighbors.
I am warning against letting China get too far ahead, just like we were many that warned about Trump. And probably with the same result.
After stealing all data with shady RAT, china doesn't have to do basic research. That's million of man hours saved.
Yes they are even stealing more advanced technologies from us than we have, I don't know how they do it, it's quite amazing. /s
Reading comprehension is your friend. If don't need to make basic research because you can take what other people did, you can advance faster.
Ah yes, every year every grade gets a little bit easier, because everybody can just take what's been done all the previous years.
I listened to this crap about "stealing knowledge" when Japan rose like a rocket among international economies, the song is always the same, and it's completely ignorant of the fact that ALL rising economies did it on the knowledge of others. But probably none more than USA.
There is nothing wrong with that, and now USA has advanced far beyond the technologies they originally inherited from Europe.
And China is doing the same now, just like Japan did half a century ago.

So the bad guys here are the ones preventing others to use their research... right?
