At this point, yeah, a bit. But it is a common racism to have right now, and the first step on the path to getting rid of it is knowing you have it.
Plus, the headline is really leading in that direction too, the article itself makes it pretty clear that it is a real, reputable product. Their wording in the headline is technically correct, they specifically call it a company “you’ve likely never encountered” rather than “noone has heard of”, the company has already been at the forefront before and announced that they would be again in 2025, this is fulfilling that promise.
Actually it is mostly the US that has been caught doing that. Not saying others don’t do it but the US is the one who is bad enough at it to get caught regularly.
I would say it’s bad because the only reason low quality products exist from China is because there is a company ordering them, typically American. All of our expensive tech comes from there any you haven’t heard of most of those companies
From what I understand their minimum wages aren’t bad, it’s the enforcement that sucks. Everyone buys from them because labor laws are overlooked, but if they weren’t - there’s a risk manufacturing would move away and shrink. Bit of an ouroboros. I’d say both parties are to blame, but the paying one gets more of it.
There, now that sentence isn’t racist because that sounds like a scam without any additional details.
But it is a startup you’ve probably never encountered, which is saying more about them not being known outside of their home country which is a bit different.
No because Chinese isn’t a race its a nationality. If you used one of the races there like Han The predominate race there. than yes it would be racist. The Han are in fact often refereed to has the real Chinese. But china is made up of many races not just the one.
Okay bud Chinese 99.999999999% of the time refers to Han. If you ask a Chinese person they will say 中国人, Chinese. Yes Han is the proper nomenclature but no Chinese person would make this argument.
‘Chineese startup nobody has heard of.’
…am… I racist for immediately thinking scam? Like… they shoved a couple thumb drives in a fancy case level of scam?

China has caught putting harware level vulnerabilities for decades now.
So there’s probably backdoors in any Chinese hardware by now. But also in any western hardware.
It’s just about who you want to send your data to.

Yeah but how is that not China’s fault too? Americans buy cheap products from there because China pays their employees pennies.

I guess that would depend on whether you think of the country or a race when you think china. I think of the country and not the race. bud.
