Honestly that's something I strongly fault Obama for- he had a chance, he was elected on a mandate. But he refused to turn the screws his first term, didn't really fight for things the way GOP does.

Unlike most western governments that are being changed every few years - of they last that long - looking at you Holland. That means there is little to no continuity because the new government will have different plans, policies and priorities. For example look at America's infrastructure compared to China's. America's infrastructure is shambolic. Biden tried with his infrastructure bill, but that was killed like the first week that orange monstrosity took office.

This is something most western people and governments either don’t or refuse to understand. All these BS sanctions on China, only motivate them more to develop counter products. Chinese will not curl up in a corner and cry. They will just shrug their shoulders and move on.

If by 'shrug and move on' you mean 'redouble or quadruple their efforts to generate a domestic semiconductor market', you're quite right.

China has made no secret of their desire to domestically produce their own tech. So have we in fairness, difference is China has a possibility and overall policy support to actually make it happen. Difference is China's been at it for 10+ years with a multi-pronged policy that includes trade, subsidies, market policy, and state support, and it's starting to really pay off. We've been at it for 2 years with a single-pronged policy of tariffs.

And this will only be the beginning.

Like the whole Nexperia debacle caused by the Dutch, Trump brown nosing government.
Now all these vital chips for the western car industry, are now simply manufactured in China, not the Netherlands anymore.

Generally on lemmy you have to specify that you're responding to OP when making a top level comment ("Hey op, not to nitpick but [nitpick]" and similar), otherwise it's assumed you're replying to the post title or article. Given that, I'm not entirely sure why someone would assume I was attacking OP directly without the context of OP treating it as a personal attack (and no, to be clear it's just a response to the headline. I only noticed it was a YogPost when they responded).

edit: Which is not to blame OP for the misinterpretation, just curious how that may have lead to further misinterpretation.

And my last edit was just to say that even if you had intended that snark, it wasn't (IMO) an unacceptable amount to begin with, but then commenting on the hostility in the response (which I agree wasn't harsh itself) felt like you were playing the victim because someone fought back in a fight you started.

Btw, this isn't an attempt to shame you or make you feel bad or anything. I'm only engaging with you about this because you did seem to be asking about the hostility in good faith and I could see why both of you were getting so many downvotes and upvotes from that exchange. Though not sure how useful my analysis will be here, considering it all started from a misinterpreted comment in the first place rather than intended hostility lol.

I think every international company and government is corrupt.

Unlike my domestic companies and government, whose motives are pure and only serve the best interests of the people.

I'm apparently 2 levels removed from whatever that meme is; no clue who that is for one
