They used declassified US documents to develop the technology.

    Also, there’s a lot to be said for totalitarianism.

    Not much of it positive though.

      Ok.

      A good thing : less advertising

      A bad thing : less free speech

      You?

        Good thing: complete and total efficiency in scientific projects that benefit the state. (Really had to reach for one.)

        Bad thing: death camps

          China has deathcamps but totalitarianism does not imply deathcamps.

          Good : no control over life’s necessities by profit seeking entities.

            totalitarianism does not imply deathcamps.

            Death camps are necessary for totalitarian states. It’s baked into the system. I suggest reading that article or browsing through the sources here.

            https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totalitarianism

            You’re either unaware of the history of totalitarian states, or you’re arguing in bad faith. Either way I don’t see any benefit for either of us to continue this thread.

            Edit: oh… You’re just a shitposting troll. https://sh.itjust.works/post/36481322/18145723

        Less advertising? Have you been to China?

          That’s probably the western corruption at work.
