Any new technology instantly gets turned into some new boogeyman instead of being embraced. Works out great for China when western people become luddite at a very critical window of opportunity from emerging technology. You'd almost think China has a strong ability to flood western sites with propaganda.

    Those are two completely different contexts. Every new technology in the west is usually meant to restrict existing freedoms while in China they never historically had said freedoms, so to them it's just an improvement in productivity while to us is not as much of an improvement at the cost of completely usurping the existing rights that made the west great

    Is your argument that Chinese government is not using technology to restrict freedoms?

    How is that being upvoted

    I would say that decades of western Hollywood has primed the population to mistrust any new technology and only see potential dystopian ends in exchange for entertainment. Combined with China spreading propaganda to encourage those views in western nations. Sites like lemmy and Facebook are heavily used as generators to spread mistrust.

    No this is not what I'm saying but apparently both of you can't read. I said that Chinese people historically have never had our same amount of freedoms so to them it's not that big of a deal and its just nothing more than a tool to increase productivity. In the west it's different because we do indeed have freedoms that are going to be restricted
