I already found three security holes in my pair of Chinese jeans. Two medium sized holes and one large one on the opposite end.
Is there a number for a government agency so that I can report this threat?
🤣
Whenever US says “security” I roll my eyes. Soon my eyes will be staring at the back of my skull. Literally everything is a security threat.
Remember the onion/garlic security threat statement from that senator like a month ago? How Chinese onions are secretly like fentanyl killing USians or some bullshit lmao

It is interesting to see a reverse of the Soviet situation where it’s the Communist country with the “blue jeans” and a capitalist one missing out on them.
For sure, we’re basically leaving through the reverse of USSR collapse here. China is rapidly outpacing US economically, it dwarfs US industrial base, and it’s now pushing the bleeding edge of technology. Meanwhile, US is having compounding social and economic problems internally while being mired in forever wars around the globe.
Waiting for that moment where three military dudes meet in the middle of a field to illegally dissolve the country for personal benefits. Only this time it’s gonna be better for humanity.
Is this a deep fake?
Too good to be true. The queen of neoliberalism admitting this?
She admit it! Seriously tho it is very real.
“Are we in a crisis of democracy?” Asks the mf Lord.
They’re hanging on to the “Chinese products are cheap and unsafe, so it is still better to buy American-made” line like it’s a lifesaver.
I still see people say things like "Wait til Huawei makes the shitty knock off of " like they aren’t doing their own R&D and making better tech.
I’ve seen Tesla buyers talk about going out of their way to source one made in China rather than one made in the US due to quality concerns.
I think China is now hitting the point where “made in China” is considered neutral or even good by many people, like what Japan and Korea experienced.
BYD seems to be making inroads in my country, I test drove one and it was great. Most people I have talked to don’t even care where it was made, they just see it as a good car. The government is still pretty protectionist, but the consumer ultimately just wants the best product.
Free market but only if I get to win
tfw someone lands on park place after you’ve already bought boardwalk 😭
Hypocrites. They know they can’t compete and are far behind. They will abuse the fact that they are a big market for years, but the rest of the world is growing, so with time being locked out of the US market becomes less and less significant.
remember the whole huawei spies on you thing? Oh yeah turns out that was spin to enable protectionist laws so cisco could slap 5g gizmos together and do actual r&d for once, instead of spending its entire annual budget on stock buyback.
it’s the same playbook every time
“Biden warns CCP robocars steal your data and send it overseas.”
CIA/NSA out here like “You can’t harvest Americans’ personal data! We already called dibs!”
Amerikkkan cars are better at spying on you than they are at driving. https://web.archive.org/web/20231208031201/https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2022/12/01/10000-cars-can-be-data-raided-by-police-ice-cbp-love-it/
Well damn now I want one 🤷🏿♂️ anything the US doesn’t like must be based
The US has terrible taste.
Nice! Glad to hear that Chinese EVs are finally getting more efficient and so much cheaper than the competition
“Free markets is when I win and everyone else loses”
China had already deemed Tesla a security threat. Makes sense. 2022 Wired Article - https://www.wired.co.uk/article/china-cars-surveillance-national-security
That being said, I would say Tesla IS a security threat, even in the United States. have you heard of the spyware they put on the vehicles. I mean arguably any modern car is a security threat but still.
also have you heard of the Tesla Self Driving stuff, there is no way any of this should be allowed on the road
I believe you’re right. The huge concern for a lot of the EVs out there is that you don’t really know who is actually able to get that data, specifically live camera feeds from around the vehicle. I think that may be why China started banning Tesla from around their sensitive areas. It makes me think that there are probably no good actors across the board with regards to EVs. The brand of car will eventually (if not already) be a choice of who you let spy on you.
it is not JUST EV’s. it is any new car
The difference is that in a free country like China, Teslas are still sold while the authoritarian American regime bans Huawei (and BYD through their opaque bureaucracy)
