China will dominate the world in a lot of things but groundbreaking tech isn’t one of them.
China is already dominating the world in lots of groundbreaking tech. You keep on coping though.
“When Web Summit started, it attracted an overwhelmingly European and North American audience, but the changes over the past five years have been stark with the rise of participation from the Arab world,” Cosgrave said.
What kind of participation have we seen from the Arab world? Do they only cater to Arabs or are we using apps, websites, services, and devices of Arab origin without knowing it?
Cosgrave was critical of the US and European countries, saying they “find it difficult when companies from elsewhere in the world outcompete them”.
This is definitely true. The US’s favorite move to any kind of Chinese success is to try and ban it. Best example is how they forced the Netherlands to stop their golden goose ASML from sending lithography machines to China, then being completely surprised that China could make chips of their own with unexpected precision. Sure, they are a generation behind right now, but they are quickly catching up and then suddenly the West will have to actually compete with better products, instead of relying on market dominance.
Can’t humanity benefit from technology without it being some conflict between “China” (aka some official enemy) and “The West” (aka white supremacy)?
Capitalism, nationalism, and related systems completely subvert actual progress for the sake of violent control and profiting off planetary destruction.
That seems to be the difference between China and the west in a nutshell. China keeps promoting shared future for humanity and cooperation, while the west keeps trying to create a new cold war where blocs compete against one another.

Hey Mr not so much Freudian slip, please keep this stuff over at Reddit, the containment zone for hatred and vile. Thanks for the service and have a good day. If this is repeated, a hammer will come your way.
Realllly not sure how what I wrote was hatred or redditworthy, I must be missing some unwritten code. Maybe it’s a communism vs anarchism thing?
the fact that you don’t see the problem with what you wrote is precisely the problem
😂
How is the west white supremecy? You sound like a racist when you say that and it hurts your credibility, especially in a larger conversation about some of the other points you mention.
Go walk into a tech building in the west in the USA and you’d find that white people are a fraction of the workers present, and even then it’s European transplants also in the office. It is unironically very diverse. Teams I worked on were not strictly white people or majority white. And taking it even further - why be racist in the first place?
How is the west white supremecy?
Imperialist European powers invented “whiteness” almost 500 years ago as a justification for and a tool of imperialist domination, and the Global North is still doing it.
We really ought to teach CRT in schools like the conservatives claim we do.
