I wondered how long it would take before the warnings against the Chinese state started to appear, in relation to #DeepSeek (see article in the Guardian, from an Oxford professor). I guess it's perfectly OK to give your data to neo-fascist sociopathic multi-billionaires and the largest military-industrial complex on the planet, but not the Chinese.
Going slightly too far down the rabbit hole, you could argue that the Chinese state has done more to lift its population out of poverty over the past half century than any other country. OK, there have been notable human rights violations over the years, but how many people in the USA have been shot, or died from drugs or unaffordable healthcare, or from interfering in other peoples' wars?
Still, I suppose it's good to have an enemy. George Orwell would approve.
