Saying that a culture is poor at security dev, such as Chinese business culture, is not even remotely rasist. There are many ethnicities in China, people of all genetic backgrounds. It is the culture that is the problem, not the race. For example, there are many ethnically Chinese people who grew up in the West, working in businesses, in countries where there is a culture of security. Now, you could label it 'culturalist', and maybe it is, but there are definitely inferior and superior cultures. Especially, there are parts of cultures which are quite comparable this way. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

There's also another point that security is really fucking expensive. Apple on Google spend billions a year on security, yet their phones are broken in to once they are a couple of years old. Big American software companies have large margins and large budgets. Those Chinese companies are running on fumes (and credit.) Security and encryption is taken as a given by Western regulators given how many times they pass laws to break encryption. If you look at targeted 0-days, the conclusion would be more along the lines of the very best hardware+software is barely secure. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

>>Brother you cannot be serious with this racist take >There are many ethnicities in China, people of all genetic backgrounds. It is the culture that is the problem, not the race. This just seems like nitpicking to me. Colloquially most people would classify discrimination based on country of origin, or "culture" (whatever that means) as racism, even if it doesn't meet the technical definition. For instance Trump's travel bans have been called by many as "racist", even though it covers a bunch of countries, and even though the countries are majority muslim, it also excludes major muslim countries like Pakistan and Indonesia. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
