Essentially title. Seems most of their companies have been able to see success from either blocking out foreign competition or through patent theft or some combination. I guess I can't blame them, but it's an interesting thought.

It would be a lot smaller lol
Definitely smaller. But given the results, were they wrong for doing it? Maybe the medieval Chinese should have patented gunpowder so Europeans couldn't use it. One weird trick to avoid the century of humiliation.
I appreciate China as a proper nation with a government that actually gives a fuck about its people. They're going to drag their country to the frontier of civilization and won't let Western trade agreements (or uppity steppe muslims) stop them. They have a fighting spirit that Europeans lost in the world wars.
So you think what's going on there is justified? What if you were born a Muslim in China? Did your parents never tell you to imagine yourself in someone else's shoes?
Imagine thinking putting people in concentration camps means having a 'fighting spirit'. They're unarmed civilians, Einstein. That's an insult to the veterans who put their lives on the line to liberate the camps in WW2.
If I were born a Muslim in China I would probably try to avoid being a terrorist. China doesn't accept nonsense from malignant, destructive groups within its borders. I appreciate that.
I doubt it would be nearly as robust as it is today. What is curious, however, is how sustainable is it? In theory, I guess you could have an infinite runway to just lift and use others' IP/businesses and start your own. But then that begs the question, is the largest scale simply a fraction of what established first movers have already claimed?
Their goal seems to be 100% self sufficient and not need anything from the rest of the world.
They have a huge, captive domestic market. They take an idea from Western nations, replicate it, box out all foreign competition, and once it saturates the domestic market it's a massive business with the scale to compete globally. Will they ever capture the global market share of an Amazon or Facebook? Maybe not, but they avoid giving control of the commanding heights of their economy to a small number of Western shareholders.
Couldn't you argue then that their growth has a lower ceiling than other established players? If outside competition/market share increases, then wouldn't China be solidly at a disadvantage given the majority inward over outward focus? Maybe not, but I don't know if I'm there yet that a Chinese-only business can sustainably compete globally with a seemingly defined growth ceiling.
Russia is not exactly known for tech companies but Russians still use their own apps (Yandex, VK, Wildberries) over American ones. So it's not like the only options are protectionism or lose to Silicon Valley.
The number of posts here with "sToP beING a tErrORIST" in reference to Uyghurs is pretty shitty, but not really shocking given what this community has become. Fuck all of you, and fuck tiny pee pee Xi.
