Surprise, surprise...

automatizing shit obviously ain't their cup of tea. When looking at Xiaomi developer tools i discovered they mostly use very oldschool windooze-dll's.

Their development-processes still are from the last millennium mostly, it seems.

Can't steal ideas from the inside of others heads that well, now can you, mr. yellow-man-in-command ?

No matter how "well-done" your system of total surveillance of your "citizens" is.

Corruption will eat many of the golden eggs you falsely assumed it to lay for you.

You wanted "western" problems, so you got them... hehe.

Makes you think about all their children working in their factories.

They also manufacture almost everything hardware wise that the US doesn't.

Beyond technology, the United States could also not repair any of it's naval fleet, as almost no steel production, and no ore mining occur in the USA any longer.

The only thing the USA has been able to consistently reproduce is fake money, to which we export like it's going out of style.
