As Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo was visiting China earlier this week, a sea-green Chinese smartphone was quietly launched online.

It was no normal gadget. And its launch has sparked hushed concern in Washington that U.S. sanctions have failed to prevent China from making a key technological advance. Such a development would seem to fulfill warnings from U.S. chipmakers that sanctions wouldn’t stop China, but would spur it to redouble efforts to build alternatives to U.S. technology.

Do you know the history behind the creation of Taiwan?

Yes, the creation of Taiwan... in 1624. Or, if you want to talk about the China's history of Taiwan, then it's 1945.

In either case, way too fucking far back to have any sort of diplomatic weight in a conversation, except as an excuse for racism.

Where does the racism enter the picture? This is about the civil war in China, in which the non-communists were driven out to Taiwan in 1949.

The Communists took the mainland and intend to finally destroy their enemies.kind of the way north Korea wants to take over south Korea.
