It's funny that you mention this because with the current US administration it works in a similar fashion... see Anthropic not cooperating with the US military and getting their new shiny model "paused" few weeks later (and officials like Hegseth being pretty open about it beforehand, signalling to them that criticizing the US admin/not cooperating will hurt their business: https://xcancel.com/SecWar/status/2027507717469049070 )

I'm not defending China at all, just noticing a detestable trend.

And it’s not even reading between the lines and being a conspiracy theorist. The current U.S. regime has made it abundantly clear that they will gladly operate in bad faith.

Being rational and predictable is likely a more important quality than ideology now that the Americans are threatening everyone and forcing us all to pick sides.

This seems like when Indians were super excited about China having castes too. Then, it turned out that they were egregiously incomparable.

US incumbent party criticism is nothing like CCP criticism.

It is really sad how India doesn't try to be better but tries to prove China is just as bad.

Yes the Trump administration acts a lot like the CCP and it is despicable.
