It really is this transparent when we look back at it all.

I want to run a bit on the hardware reddit-logo where I talk about how China is ahead of everyone in chip manufacturing and then point to this as my proof.

To the ones who might say this is fake, I'll call them tankies and ask if they think all the other stuff the US says is fake too. Like concentration camps against Muslims and Tank Man, while posting legitimate sources and denying their authenticity.

I wonder if I could get anyone contrarian enough to believe me and read the sources. Sometimes I see users comment "you didn't even read your own source" and I'm hoping some of them might. I feel the contrarianism might be stronger than their other prejudices.

Any thoughts? Besides the risk of attracting right folks.
