          China wants to be a manufacturing-based superpower, not a financialized one (like the US). Very few understand this. (Which is bizarre, since it's all the gov't talks about.)

          Weirdly taken for granted in innovation discourse that there’s some sort of inherent tradeoff b/w hardware & software (people saying China kneecapping internet cos to boost hardware) I’m not quite seeing how wiping out half a trillion in software value helps hardware cos

          A point brought up by Dan Wang (cited in the noahpinion post) and others is that Chinese leadership is not being secretive about their intentions.

          Chinese understand this intuitively. all Westerners see, through their perspective, is boundless opportunity. all Chinese see is a darkness into which will disappear their own countrymen and country's resources and out of it will return monsters who will eat them.

          my uninformed guess is it's partly Noah's thing (Chinese leaders think too much Internet is a waste of resources) and partly Chinese leaders think the leaders of that sector are getting too powerful Chinese leaders cannot abide anyone else getting too powerful @ded_ruckus

          The Ant Financial thing was just continued looting Ma’s empire. The other plays are going after companies that’s have US exposure. They are creating a separate internet. They view data as important & don’t want domestic companies coming under US jurisdiction (being US public cos)

          As he's completely wrong on anything I'm knowledgable about I'm not going to read his speculation here. Lost my well curated lists with my last account. Too lazy to rebuild but it's so useful if you want to know what a group of ppl that know wat they are doing are thinking.
