  • I was confusing the actual war with a later protest against China because of Tibet, happening maybe 10 years ago.

    My mistake.

    EDIT: Okay I know what happened now. Just found out that Google is displaying different boarders around the world to different regions. I’m pretty sure Tibet was on the map not many years ago, and now it’s not. But apparently, it’s only been like that in the western world.





  • Also, we can’t really know and judge China as the world leader, as they’re not yet.

    As soon as you are on top, your behaviour might change. Both for the better, but most likely for the worse. (see US)

    Also, we have to remember that China still needs all western partners to keep up their production. They are still a manufacturing country.


  • I remember that there was a science group that each year got millions in funding, unconditionally. Except everything you discovered would be open for anyone to use.

    Because it was unconditional, they could research ANYTHING. And it was very successful, because they could invent things without being controlled by profits or share holders.

    It basically worked well.

    EDIT: Found some of them. Look up The Invisible College or The Institute of Advanced Study. Also found 4 similar groups in Denmark being funded by private firms (like Carlsberg, the beer maker), where they can study anything and make it public.
