    The ball bearings are made in Germany with a very specific level of precision that China can definitely replicate given how they rapidly caught up to the rest of the world in the past 30 years economically and technologically. (Hint was done primarily through corporate espionage and theft)

      fuck IP, knowledge belongs to the world not imaginary borders created by hairless apes.

      honestly. the reason 3D printing didnt take off until 2012? IP We could have been making progress in this technology since the 90s. but no… Imagine where we could be today if greed didnt keep that tech locked up for decades.

      We have been stifling progress in the name of IP while China is starting to gain ground faster and faster.

      I bought a chinese made phone, oneplus open, and it blew me away. US foldable phones are 2 years behind, despite being created by TRILLION dollar US companies. If the US is so afraid of competition maybe we should start competing!?
