In Reply to: RE: Russian tubes are called "Mullard", "Tung-sol" and "Gold Lion". posted by viridian on March 18, 2021 at 17:28:51
And, New Sensor Corporation is a US corporation based in Long Island City, NY. They just manufacturer in Russia. It's a globalized world, and you cannot get the toothpaste back in the tube. Buyer beware. Do your research, know what you are buying, consider the geopolitical ramifications, and make your choices. However, those ramifications are complex and nuanced. "Buy Chinese - Buy Freedom" may have merit on one level, but is an over simplification on another. And, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Plenty of moral reasons the rest of the world might want to boycott US goods.

at this point I would hope there are far greater reasons for the world to boycott Chinese made stuff before they finish their attempt to control the world. It's a small part ordinary citizens should do unless you disagree
you have been paying attention, haven't you? Russia is small time compared to them. And sending people over like blinking blinken is a joke.
A simplistic response to a complex and nuanced world. Suite yourself. Over and out.

The Chinese were behind development so they sent their brightest to study in the Western world. The had higher marks than the local students who did not apply themselves with the same fervor to their studies.
Next they did their masters and doctoral studies.
Did they steal intelectual property or where they just given the knowledge by those who had the knowledge and were hungry for some money without thinking through what they were doing?
FWIW I remember the days working on Japanese cars and Japanese boat engines (parents had a wharf) and they were just... junk! But they took Quality Assurance from Feigenbaum and Juran to heart and learned quickly from their mistakes. Around the turn of the millenium I was working in Seoul and the Hyunadai cars were, yes you got it, the pits! Now they are rated more reliable than Toyota, all the results of Quality Assurance and Quality Control.
I could not find some suitable employement in my field of expertise and ended up working (amongst others) in a third world country, teaching the local people how to do it. Is that intellectual theft or is it shortsightness of the local governments that rather employs someone ex. Russia at minimum wage rather than employing a more qualified local at a higher rate?
Zeiss lenses are these days made in China and once the Chinese put their mind to it they can do it. Unfortunately around the turn of the century I also had a spell working in China and the children were (because of the one child policy) taught to get to the most earnings they could, if this required lying, stealing, cheating then never mind, go for it. They would never admit to a mistake. In Gunazhou at the time 90% of the goods I saw for sale was counterfeit.
I leave you to make up your own mind and also some reading:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Fraser_Tytler,_Lord_Woodhouselee
just remember that 200-1000years ago we stole all the technologies from China (asia) we could get
I'm very well suited, so the same to you
