Yes? We are in agreement? I am saying that they recognize Evan. Which is odd that they recognize one thing and not another.

Yes we are, just adding context for anyone reading who is unfamiliar with Evan's work.

Okay, sorry. I had misinterpreted your comment because an associated (I guess coincidental) downvote.

Disconcerting and suspicious to see so many Chinese codebases being advertized here. I feel that there is some nation state activity behind it. There is a ban on Chinese work products in sensitive industries (aerospace/defense, military, and government), and other industries should follow suit if they care about security.

Please do not copy/paste comments on HN. That strictly lowers the signal/noise ratio.

Also, your comment breaks the site guideline against insinuating astroturfing, shillage, etc., without evidence. I replied to you about that here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21879877. Please don't do it again.

Hippy is now applied in 18 Tencent apps concerning tens of billions of ordinary users. Having used a lot of these apps I wonder if this is indeed what they use to deliver near native experience with web technologies..

Where did they find the extra 2.5 billion people?

Chinese (and japanese) use 4 digit separated factors, so it's easy to make these kind of mistakes. eg 100 ten-thousands not 1000 x 1000s. Even after living there awhile, converting big currency numbers is a pain.

If it is a react native fork, I wonder if they plan to acknowledge that. Seems like that is the first thing you'd mention. I can't see a reason not to mention this unless you're trying to fool someone.

They do acknowledge using code from Vue: https://github.com/Tencent/Hippy/blob/e284c6b399e50bfb256469...

Not from react, which is what parent comment was talking about. That they acknowledge code use from another source is irrelevant.

It's not irrelevant, since that makes it more puzzling why they'd acknowledge one project but not another.

Perhaps bc Evan You is Chinese.

Do you think that React Native was also a fork of something else?

Do you think that only forks of projects can have security issues?

> Do you think that only forks of projects can have security issues?

Huh? I'm replying to someone inquiring why someone else didn't review a fork. Aka, the GP was focused on the Fork aspect of Hippy, and the Parent asked about React, as if React was a fork.

I think you misunderstood the comment chain. I was not even talking about security issues or how that affects forking. I was merely replying to another discussion about forking, and how React is viewed in that "forking light".

The top-level comment in the chain is "Anyone done a security audit on this yet?" I was interpreting the forking discussion as an aspect of the security discussion.

It is - I guess I just mean, the reply I was specifically replying to seemed to be concerned on if OP cared about the forking of React.

Vagueness and confusion all around, haha.

Given Snowden’s book and other leaks this is rather silly to claim.

Snowden was not talking about forced state inference in companies like with e.g. Huawei or Alibaba or many other, even small Chinese companies. While it happens, it certainly does not happen that much (while it's normal occurence in China) and if the companies are forced to something, it's most of the time through a court.
