Nations can pass laws, but when companies feel that their bottom line is threatened and act, that is telling: http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/tech/20 ... 79961.html
One thing that was NOT mentioned was the intellectual property theft. Lack of profitability gives companies an excuse to leave.

Seems like they are hinting at it.Some even expressed worries about the security of equipment made in China.

** 10-Dec-2019 World View: Japan military buildup
Chinese have spent the last 30 years teaching a vitriolic
nationalistic anti-Japan Patriotic Education Campaign ideology
campaign in their schools, and that the Chinese are preparing for war
with Japan.
There's still a strong "pacifist" constituency in Japan that wants to
stay away from nuclear weapons, and only permit military engagements
for defense when Japanese soil is attacked. Shinzo Abe has managed to
whittle away at that by reinterpreting the "self-defense" to mean
"collective self-defense," which means that Japan can take action when
an ally (the US) is attacked.

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News
I watched the excellent documentary last night "The China Hustle": https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7215388/
Everyone should watch this, very important if you want to understand China better. They show how China has been stealing tens of billions of dollars from US investors though fraudulent listings on US exchanges (using reverse mergers), and how regulators have done nothing to stop it (also stealing money from foreign investors is perfectly legal in China and no one ever gets punished for it or sees any justice whatsoever). The level of fraud out of China has been astounding.

Re: Generational Dynamics World View News
What have we learned these last several days, chill'in's...? (as regards China and the oncoming war)
Nuthin'.
What has actually changed?
Is the "rate of change" of the "world situation" increasing (accelerating) FASTER than is to be "expected"?
Is the "critical phase-change" point (the "goal" of the accelerating "travel" of our "situation") more or less "close"?
My opinion (which I'm sure nobody cares about): The acceleration is as expected, and the critical phase-change is at the expected distance,.. which translates to "Situation Normal, No need to panic, Waiting to see what happens "near" 2023".
Let's see who gets proved correct in this. (Uh,... "proven" perhaps!? Someone, correct me, please!)
Aloha you guys, and you whatever-you-are "Guestian" cowards. <shaka nui!>
(( Just GOTTA chuck that grenade in there for "flavor"... <chuckle, chuckle, chuckle!> ))

is the world changing?
Of course, it depends on what you're measuring. I have the feeling
that you have a particular measure in mind that isn't changing
very rapidly.
Then you get into another question: What do you mean by changing? Do
you mean increasing? Do you mean decreasing? What about something
that oscillates up and down -- it's always changing but never goes
anywhere. Does that count?
It's worth noting that the cable news programs claim that the world is
changing incredibly quickly. Today they're pointing to the rapidly
moving impeachment circus farce. But there are also riots and
demonstrations going on in lots of countries -- much more than usual.
Here a couple of things that I refer to all the time:

Here a couple of things that I refer to all the time:
- Public debt. This has been increasing exponentially for years.
As the saying goes, if something can't go on forever, then it won't. - Nationalism and xenophobia. This isn't easily measurable like
public debt, but nationalism and xenophobia were at their lowest
in the 1990s, then began rising with the rise of Generation-X in the
2000s, and today is very high in many countries.
