Our (western) economic model forces competing individual companies to be profitable quickly. China can ignore DeepSeek losing money, because they know developing DeepSeek will help China. Not every institution needs to be profitable.

You mean like intel, tesla, spacex, openai ?

Ah yes, the Western economic model forcing individual American companies like Amazon , Youtube and Uber to become profitable after.. checks notes _14 years_ for Uber, 9 years for Amazon, many years for Youtube.

they compare it to fascist USA though

Ask a gay, a black or a Japanese how it feels living in China.

Outside of gay people, the rest is your projection: they are homogenous society, racial problems are nonexistent. US is heavily heterogenous and despite that you segregated like a third of society at the time.

Ridiculous take.

Sorry, I have lived and worked there 6 years in different cities and I do speak a fluent (though with a very heavy French accent) mandarin. It's totally not my projection but my experience first hand.

During the "diaoyu island" incident in the 2010s the sushi shop 200m near my appartment got sacked, and all japanese-brand car get smashed.

My black (and indian) friends all complained how hard they were treated. And when talking with my Chinese friends they all had very .... interesting... point of view.

Edit: also, I'm not from the US

>Outside of gay people, the rest is your projection: they are homogenous society, racial problems are nonexistent.

You do know that Chinese people do go to other countries and that we all can see how insanely racist they can be right?

> they are homogenous society

No, China is not homogenous.

> racial problems are nonexistent

Ask a non-Han about how they feel about that statement.

Your take is about as ridiculous. China isn’t at all how you described it.

> they are homogenous society, racial problems are nonexistent

Riiiiiiiiiiiight:

Guess they solved all the "racial problems" by deploying surveillance cameras to help shove all the undesirables into camps. /s

so alabama and texas are enemies to the US the same way china is?

when journalism is a business, stuff like this happens...

And it's always been a business.

but there's also state funded journalism, so they are not forced to do whats commercially viable

And then it's a business that is funded by political patronage.

okay so the police is a business too? Just like private security firms?

The point is that, just like journalists if they are paid by the government, the police also have biases regarding which laws to enforce. I suppose you consider the BBC a shining example of unbiased reporting?

They deliver what readers what.

That would imply that the readers are the customers.

They are in a business relationship.

Just like Knight Rider and Matlock had to deliver enough entertainment to keep you from switching channels and instead have you watch the next beer ad.

> I love my own personality and humanity, my soul if you will, but nobody's paying me for it, and so I have to value it accordingly.

Don't let capitalism do this to you. Not everything with value is paid in this system, only things which make the buyer more money.
