I kind of envy having a government so willing to go to bat for its native industry that it's willing to go as far as to steal IP for them. In my country, the government is more than happy to sit back and watch all its industries outsource and lay off everyone, and nationalism is regarded as a bad word. China, if nothing else, believes in China.

China is playing the Long Game, they've been at it for thousands of years. It should be no surprise you hear them say one thing while they vigorously do another, the hacking into Ameirican servers are merely there to throw the US off balance. Ultimately there is an opport
Oh we love, love, love Chairman Mao!
He's our saviour, our martyr, moral compass and soul
We dream about him with each rice bowl!
All the time he took, writing his little red book

I always think it is weird when people applaud China for playing the long game, when so many of their policies seem focused on making them look explosive in the short term but crippling them in the long term. The One Child policy for instance has created an enormous glut of working age people with few dependents that will become a tremendous burden on the country when they reach retirement age. The One Child policy combined with traditional values is also creating a tremendous imbalance in the genders, wi

When you've got 1.3 billion people in a country the size of the US, overpopulation is a much bigger long term issue than having a high retiree/worker ratio for a while. If your productivity increases enough, a given number of retirees will actually be less of a burden on a smaller but more productive work force than they would be on a larger but less productive workforce. What do you think noodle robots are for?
The One Child policy combined with traditional values is also creating a tremendous imbalance in the genders, with almost 20% more boys than girls born.
That's a different story, though AFAIK the government's problem arises from an inability to stop

China has a lot of people, but it also has a lot of land area. The population density of China is 365 people per square mile, which puts it nowhere near the top worldwide. Compare this with Italy at 512 people per square mile or Germany at 609 people per square mile or the UK at 650 people per square mile. Neighboring Taiwan is all the way up at 1,849 people per square mile.

Why bother? Big countries more readily destroy themselves than they can be attacked from the outside. That's how the US won the Cold War. Truman announced a containment strategy and eventually the USSR just imploded. Takes longer but it gets a lot fewer people killed that a hot war.
The US is happily destroying itself with its short-term self-parasitic thinking. Undoubtedly China will find a way to destroy itself from within (as it has many times in the past).
