Is China better for startups ?

What are you saying

I bet you’ve never been to any cities in China. I’ve visited Mumbai and Bangalore for once and I’ve seen a their huge contrast with their Chinese counterpart like Shanghai and Shenzhen.

Yes, there's a huge contrast. Which is why it's India that's good.

Are you saying that the us is a victim of its own lobbyists due to how successful the innovations of the last century were ?

50 years later China will face the same problem, the habits that people have formed, the infrastructure that is hard to maintain or extend because of the increasingly high labor cost. Just imagine how hard it is for people to adopt new technologies in big companies, just the migration itself is curbing people from doing a lot of things that supposed to be done.

Yeah I recognize the lacking basic research, which is mentioned in the post. But tbh software technology(scalability, reliability, UX,..) has mostly been figure out, it's just applications that are elusive.

US isn’t built in a day, it might be too early to draw the conclusion now. We just haven’t lived long enough to witness the change they may progress on the front of basic research.

You are just so obsessed with the ideology and political system stuff and that way of thinking doesn’t help you understand the status quo of China at all. If you were really interested in the comparative study instead of just posting for proving your bigotry, I recommend you watching this interview which I believe is as objective as possible, as they went through a lot of in depth comparisons between western and China which is very interesting from many perspectives. https://youtu.be/ufxfSJgQuSI

Surpass USA? Cannot get ahead of the one you copy / steal from? How can you ship product when the feature is not coded?

I agree with Samsung

Everyone bribes, in China in US, everywhere. In US it is just called lobbying.. Look, if you are afraid of making enemies then you should not start a business as simple as.

Every four years, US election costs billions of dollars for running the campaigns, and you really think that money is spent on freedom and democracy? Such an American idiotic hypocrisy.

Are you an india hater? Why do you bring india to all posts.

Gov backed company? Most IT companies in China are private and there are much fiercer competition in China than in US.

You might not follow the news in China close enough. Tencent Huawei Alibaba are sat in with CCP governors now.

What about 5G? From where did Huawei copy when the technology didn’t even exist?

Don’t you know AT&T renamed their LTE to 5G over a year ago?
