What can congress do? They're already blacklisted. The only thing left is to shoot your own foot. Maybe avoid that? I've seen nothing logical that came out of Trumps silly blacklisting except cashing out on the reputation the US had for pennies on the dollar. China is destined to be Europe and the US combined in term of tech. Time will tell if their culture causes problem for them. Smart high intelligence people + st…

Suggesting that human intelligence varies by race is a very old, very debunked idea that no-one believes any more outside of some small racist cliques.

Not surprising after I saw how many R&D offices Huawei has in Europe. They basically placed their offices right across their competitors like Ericsson, Nokia, Imagination, etc. to the point that in every European Tech hub you will find a Huawei office.

Money and strategy talks If only Nokia hadn't got dragged down by the Symbian fools

Have you heard of the "Burning platform" memo?

If the math Olympiad is racist then so is fashion modelling and NFL.

And I called it ethnicity/descent already.

I do not know why you are down voted... I have seen Huawei from the inside and the number of devs and first grade researchers is staggering. The researchers get payed very well, but what (to those I met) was even more important: they get all the assistance they want, plus 1. As one of them told me "I hate doing things twice. I now do not have to. I think of something, try to get it to work and I am done. The grinding…

Yeah, there were some interesting talks at FOSDEM by Huawei researchers, e.g.

That’s not sufficient evidence for the scale of the claim you’re making about basic human nature. Many other factors can explain China’s success much less the demographic composition of Math Olympiad participants.

How is security taken care of when contributions are being done by Huawei (backdoors in 41k lines of sourcode?)? But I am guessing there is no real fight between open source software and state actors - perhaps someone who knows more about the security of the kernel can comment.

Eh you may want to read up about the NSA history of backdoors.

I didn't read the above comment as dismissing the NSA's history with backdoors. It generalizes by referring to 'state actors'. The NSA is not mentioned at all.

Perhaps it was edited?

Without mentioning how the intelligence is measured, how can you decide that it is racist? You're not assuming good faith.

I haven't seen any good studies debunking it, but neither have I seen any studies which prove it. That IQ is heritable and has a large genetic component however is "settled science" [a], and the current trend in behavioural genetics seems to be that a large swathe of cognitive and social behaviours are very heritable indeed.

China is destined by US and European politicians to take power, because those in power are totally corrupt. This has nothing to do with the instrinsic abilities of respective populations. Same goes for Israel. And you have a strange definition of ethics given the amount of IP piracy going on with the blessing of occidental politicians.
