This is what happens when business strategy spans decades and not from one quarterly report to another.
You mean this is what happens when you have a gigantic state government bag holding for you with a given mission of wiping out all competition.

Ever heard that Taiwan is doing a stellar job holding off coronavirus? No, because China presses WHO into not mentioning Taiwan. We could learn a lot from Taiwan. China doesn't just boycott Taiwan, it makes others act as if the country doesn't exist. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/taiwan
Taiwan is not a country in China's eyes. Technically Taiwan is really not a country but works like one since 1949. If you follow Winnie the Poh closely enough, he has claimed "Taiwan problem will not be passed onto next generation". My personal estimate is that Taiwan will be taken by force within 20 years.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. The entire country sat quietly whilst the western companies poured billions upon billions into it. Fast forward 30-40 years and everyone is super surprised that once humble and kowtowing country showing a middle finger to the rest of the world and nobody can do anything about it. Huawei has been operating like this since its inception.
I worked in the NL hardware business over a decade back and that was the exact mentality management there had in regards to China and Chinese workers.

It was largely BS to justify the pivot to Windows phone. Jolla demonstrated that the problems with Meego could be solved with far fewer resources than Nokia put into their pointless Windows phone migration.
I just said above that I loved Meego Manhattan, but I never liked Jolla's UI. One example of something I believe they just got completely wrong is that swiping away an app causes it to fade out, instead of actually move alongside your finger. This makes multi-tasking somewhat easier, since you can quickly peak at what's behind an app, but it isn't connected to the gesture.

If a state actor really wants to do it and someone could get it past reviews, I am sure they could bribe any contributor from any country (including US). Why single out China? We never raised concerns with Russian contributors.
Maybe not single out China, but many people think China is particularly untrustworthy: they insist Chinese law is used outside China, and lecture people how they should refer to China in public; they operate concentration camps; the Chinese language has no word for *mutuality*, China benefits from free speech and access to institutions in the West but doesn't allow the same in China for journalists or businessmen; Ch…

Seems ironic for a Chinese tech organization to hold boatloads of patents...
It's well-known that China is very serious about IPs. At least to people actually paying attention to Chinese domestic policies. A lot of Chinese firms knowingly violates IP laws in the past, because they understand there is not enough resources to enforce them. Additionally, Chinese government has been very open about the plan to enforce IP laws gradually to the same standard as the global market. A good balance has…

"they insist Chinese law is used outside China, and lecture people how they should refer to China in public;"
Not really sure what examples you had in mind, but I would imagine most communities would have a preferred way for other people to address them; I don't think it's wrong for them to demand that. If you don't like China's demand then you can refer to it however you want; but they also have the freedom to dislike those who do that. "they operate concentration camps;"
In my unpopular opinion: I would call them brainwashing camps, or re-education camps if there is no need to appeal to Western audiences. I don't think I have seen evidences that people have been systematically terminated in those camps, which I believe is a key characteristic for concentration camps. "the Chinese language has no word for *mutuality*"
Did you mean what you said seriously/literally? Or is it a phishing question to see which commenter speaks Chinese? ;) "China benefits from free speech"
I would argue that they didn't benefit much from "free speech", otherwise China would probably be mentioned in a more positive light nowadays. IMHO, China's state machinery is pretty good at internal censorship and propaganda due to their long authoritarian history, but their methods for manipulating/spinning narratives is rather unsophisticated compared to societies with more democratic traditions. "Winnie the Pooh is extremely thin-skinned and can have games like Devotion removed from Steam and GOG even after the reference is removed from the secret area in the game;"
"there are many instances where businesses with Chinese shareholders were pressured not to publish anything mildly critical of China."
Capitalism has no backbone, I guess? "BBC team visiting China investigating covid19 faced obstacles reminiscent of The Truman Show;"
Your neighbour doesn't like you, and he thinks you are guilty of theft. You told him you have not done that and turned down his demand to enter your home to investigate. Your neighbour informed the police, and they come to your door with a warrant; this time you have to let them in. Is BBC the world police? If so then I guess China is at fault here. "WHO scientists investigating covid19 recently not permitted into China;"
I think WHO is much better qualified than BBC for investigating this, so not a great move from China. They should let them investigate. "China doesn't even formally frown at corruption;"
I can see you don't know China at all. China does formally frown at corruption. The problem is China informally doesn't frown at corruption.Re: Huawei Tops Intel as Top Linux Kernel Contributor for 5.10

#100Original post: https://lwn.net/Articles/839772/ Lines of code are not a good metric for the importance of the contributions. You can see that the top developer actually made a single 26k loc commit that just removed a driver.
Wouldn't more lines of code give someone more chance to slip in backdoors?
