I hear this so much from westerners who have no connection to the people or the country.
-China passed a law forbidding companies from replacing workers with AI.
-China regularly punishes CEOs and corrupt government officials who do bad things.
China promotes open source to the world enabling everyone in every country to have equitable access.
From living in china for over 20 years and talking to many many people, the majority is happy with the trajectory of their country.
Could any for these be said of the west?
I won't get into specifics on which countries regularly throw bombs on children, use starvation and blockades as weapons, and completely disregard the massive dissatisfaction of their citizens...but it sure isn't china.
Please clean your own house first before you complain about your neighbor.
China didn't pass a law forbidding companies from replacing workers with AI. There was an unfair termination lawsuit that has been misconstrued as such http://english.scio.gov.cn/m/chinavoices/2026-04/30/content_... but it was applying existing law. If they had followed the provisions of Article 41 (3) of the Labor Contract Law https://english.court.gov.cn/2015-08/17/c_761484_6.htm which explicitly authorizes layoffs if "The enterprise changes its line of production, introduces a major technological updating or adjusts its business method, and, after modification of the labor contracts, still needs to reduce its personnel," there would have been no problem.
This sentiment was really common circa 2005, or at least general anti-China rhetoric, where I lived in the Tri-state. Funnily enough, I have never felt more a cog, living here in the U.S., than I do right now. Maybe you are right, but my guess is wherever you live, yours is a bit of a glass house as well.
Yeah, we should only promote, like... Finnish, Norwegian, maybe Swiss products, like Apertus. Not this unethically-made baby oil[1] from repressive torment nexuses of USA or China.

Account made 3 months ago. You’re a shill.
Comment going back a month on that account, not a single one even mention China, much less shilling.
I guess you the shill then :)

I am right, and whatever glass house bullshit you’re talking about is a flimsy shim of disagreement.
Well I cannot argue with that logic!
