@yuviarora I’m not saying that we should ignore irrefutable evidence of impending disaster…like tornados in Kentucky in December and January for instance. Your friend saw facts…Kristallnacht should have also been a bit of a canary in the coalmine as well. The west built a great many factories in China, consulted on a great many more.
In one system I have a streamer-server from Portugal feeding a Swiss dac (very neutral LOL) feeding a Japanese preamp feeding a Japenese amplifier feeding British designed/Austrian built speakers. Cables are from Serbia, Germany and Japan. Music is streamed from France I guess or from music I have burned. The moral to the story is the USA has been at war with some of the aforementioned countries or defended some others, in the past for various rational or irrational reasons. China has never invaded us, they just reject many of the things the west holds dear. I find the hypocrisy thick with irony that it was ok for the west to do business with the far east when it fit the narrative 40 or 50 plus years ago but not today? There was a great deal of western resentment toward the east when their cars were kicking Detroit where it hurt. They then built factories in the west and it became obvious they could in many cases build a generally better and more desirable car on our soil than we could. The same could be said for European based car companies. Less blowback there though because the Euros “look” western. Geez.
So, there is this apparent dilemma today that China manufactures some high quality goods and the west purchases it. Do you have more or less outrage if it is branded as that of a western company? Your iphone, your computer, your television? Its terrible what is happening to the Uyghers…its terrible what happened in Tulsa or Tuskeegee. Human beings do bad shyt to one another.
Meanwhile back at the ranch, China is building some great products. The west sells gear to them, the west buys gear from them. The world turns, the universe continues evolving…
