Under the new rules, anyone in China who finds a vulnerability must tell the government, which will decide what repairs to make. No information can be given to “overseas organizations or individuals” other than the product’s manufacturer.

Modern AA missile systems are also very expensive - a S-400 battery cost you $500 million. [1]

For many countries they have no choice - you either spend the money on Military or you get invaded by Russia/China/North Korea.

F-35 is not expensive if you consider the alternatives:

Brazil bought 36 JAS-39E for $5.8 billion. [1]

Taiwan ordered 66 F-16V for $8.1 billion. [2]

Korea is going to get 20 F-35A for $3.3 billion. [3]

The fear is real - A lot of pro-democracy Hong Kong activists in US are harassed and threatened by PRC government agents, many of them Chinese students studying in US.

Chinese always has the freedom to criticize and mock US government - as long as you are not targeting Chinese government you are fine ;-)

It is funny to see comments like “this will only strengthen the hostility of Chinese people against US” - the fact is most if not all Chinese see US as their arch nemesis.

This is giving China a taste of it's own medicine - pretty sure EU or Japan would love to see this given the treatment of their companies in China.

In China, you are not allowed to talk about Wuhan as the source of outbreak anymore [1]. A prominent microbiologist is forced to apologize after saying the virus was originated Wuhan seafood market and blaming the culture of eating wild animals[2]. The whole country is trying to shape US as the source of virus, at least on Chinese social media.

There are different types of fundings - some encourage you to find matching sponsors, some forbids you to do that explicitly.

Lieber requested that half of his money be deposited into a Chinese bank account and other half be paid to him in cash when he next visit WUT. https://twitter.com/gbrumfiel/status/1222217996959199234?s=2...

Not common (and acceptable) if you are taking grants from ONR, DARPA or Air Force grants.

Huawei is (essentially) a state-owned company - I don't think they are calculating revenue using external auditor and comply with GAAP. It is not comparable with any publicly traded companies.

"consensus opinions" authorized by Chinese government - likes, "trending" and timelines are all artificially constructed to make you feel like it's the consensus of Chinese people.

There are tons of Chinese students studying in other countries. They are organized by Chinese consulate to "flex their muscle" against anything "anti-china".

"This could be because Chuck Salituro, the senior news director of ESPN, sent a memo to shows mandating that any discussion of the Daryl Morey story avoid any political discussions about China and Hong Kong, and instead focus on the related basketball issues."

You are free to talk about Chinese government, only when you are not pissing off Chinese government. How nice!
