    China comes in to save the day once again. I’m almost tempted to farm social credit points now.

    I hope this means they will become a democracy?

      deep breath

      You talk as if capitalism and meaningfully healthy democracy go hand-in-hand.

      China is doing western market capitalism better than western capitalists can. I think that shows exactly how healthy capitalism is for democracies.

      Just think of all those pictures of slums and misery in America with captions like “this is what the socialists want” meanwhile it’s literally what conservatist capitalism GAVE.

      Meanwhile, if “Red” (as in, communism-infused) DDR5 comes available, even at lower speeds and capacities, I would absolutely buy some sodimms so I could pick up a new minipc or two. I’m certain it isn’t really geared for our market, and I kind of feel it would be more democratic if they cranked out a bunch of DDR4 that could benefit developing markets and more Integrated systems.
