Undercut Huawei and retain your influence there

2019-10-10 16:20:52 UTC  

The only way to do that. Subsidies

2019-10-10 16:20:58 UTC  

👆

2019-10-10 16:20:59 UTC  

Exactly like the Chinese are doing.

2019-10-10 16:21:00 UTC  

You guys have to make your tech cheap too

2019-10-10 16:21:01 UTC  

No disagreement

discord fuckery

Economies of scale @beatless

2019-10-10 16:21:19 UTC  

It will get cheaper as they make more of it

2019-10-10 16:21:33 UTC  

Also the subsidies will allow the companies to sell them at a loss

2019-10-10 16:21:35 UTC  

To undercut China

2019-10-10 16:21:50 UTC  

The ONLY way you're going to beat China is by playing at their game.

2019-10-10 16:21:58 UTC  

Yes!

2019-10-10 16:22:09 UTC  

Your "competition" doesn't work when China is subsidising their tech.

2019-10-10 16:22:16 UTC  

You MUST compete and do the same.

2019-10-10 16:22:22 UTC  

At a massive loss too

2019-10-10 16:22:23 UTC  

Like solar, lots of cheap chinese tech in the market compared to expensive western tech

2019-10-10 16:22:33 UTC  

Yep to both of you @beatless @Sawyer42

2019-10-10 16:22:36 UTC  

Well we do the R&D

2019-10-10 16:22:40 UTC  

They steal it

2019-10-10 16:22:49 UTC  

And manufacture it cheaper

2019-10-10 16:22:50 UTC  

Sell it even cheaper with subsidies

2019-10-10 16:22:51 UTC  

Yep

2019-10-10 16:23:14 UTC  

Yeah, hence western corps should invest in other countries rather than china. India perhaps?

2019-10-10 16:23:18 UTC  

This is an area where I think exposing some of the CCPs excesses in Xinjiang would help

2019-10-10 16:23:25 UTC  

You've got some catching up to do.

2019-10-10 16:23:28 UTC  

Nobody likes concentration camps

2019-10-10 16:23:41 UTC  

And it’s one of the strongest cards we have to play against them

2019-10-10 16:24:06 UTC  

Cause we need to make the argument domestically why we need to subsidize and beat the Chinese

2019-10-10 16:24:20 UTC  

I hate to say it but we need something like Cold War 2

2019-10-10 16:24:29 UTC  

Yep, you do

2019-10-10 16:24:52 UTC  

Yeah a cold war 2...

2019-10-10 16:24:55 UTC  

Their an existential threat and we need to start treating them that way

2019-10-10 16:24:56 UTC  

That'll end well.

2019-10-10 16:24:59 UTC  

They’re

2019-10-10 16:25:02 UTC  

First one did @Sire Fagsalot

2019-10-10 16:25:07 UTC  

It ended poorly for the Soviet’s

2019-10-10 16:25:21 UTC  

The Chinese might win in 50-100 years

2019-10-10 16:25:33 UTC  

But we’ll lose if we allow status quo
