  • Don’t listen to this clown’s vibes based analysis. China considers itself a transitional socialist state. That is, the economy contains elements of capitalism, but the state is under the control of the CPC (CCP is a derogatory term used by sinophobes), and the key pillars/commanding heights of the economy are state owned.

    Does China have a billionaire capitalist class? Yes. Does this class weild political power? Not anymore than the average Chinese citizen. There are billionaires in the CPC, but very few and none of them occupy positions of power.

    I’m sure other comrades will share some more comprehensive resources, but here’s a couple to get you started.













  • Google would maintain intellectual property ownership, and can even continue to be the default search engine. When the decade is up, stewardship could be passed to another, or otherwise reviewed.

    Ecosia, which uses Google to power its search engine, already has a revenue-share partnership with the tech giant. And it already offers its own browser built on the Chromium open source engine that powers Chrome. That’s why Kroll thinks the stewardship idea isn’t so out-of-line. “We would be happy to manage Chrome for them,” he says. Ecosia is even offering to maintain employment for the Chrome staff.

    Sounds like they’re offering Google a workaround. They won’t manage it, but all the reasons for the court’s decision get to remain. And then in a decade or whatever, Google will just take it back since they never really relinquished ownership to begin with.
