Does China have a tech company which does NOT develop spyware?

I am not an expert for this, but it seems so:

Closer defence cooperation between New Zealand and Japan (2023)

Shared regional threats.

Whataboutism? Apart from the fact that it has nothing to do with the linked article, there has been a lot of, say, 'not too positive' reports about Trump's social network.

How are the so-called 'laws' written in China?

As @Deceptichum@quokk.au already said, this is about safety, and it's not a geopolitical thing.

I guess if you are surrounded only by yes-sayers for too long, something like that may happen.

Zhang Zhan is a role model for a person who is standing up. As some others have already written in their comments, it's a similar situation in China as it is in Russia, Iran, North Korea (or Nazi-Germany 90 years ago, if you seek an example in history).

Those Chinese who threaten their peers should be legally prosecuted and then sent back to China. If they don't value freedom of expression and human rights, they have nothing to do here in Europe. This is unacceptable.

I don't know the reason for the prompt in this particular case, of course, but there is a persistent form of racism in China, namely the prejudice that the Han Chinese are more advanced than other cultures inside and outside of China. Some experts say this view is even promoted by the government's propaganda.

There is also a good video by a foreigner living in China (19 min): CHINA: RACISM: China’s Ugly, Disturbing yet Open Secret --- (archived link).

Last year, Human Rights Watch urged the Chinese government to combat anti-black racism on Chinese social media.

There is a good article by the China Media Project from April 2024 about the Chinese Communist Party's AI policy:

Tracking Control: Bringing AI to the Party --- [Archived link]

China’s release this week of new draft rules governing the generation of AI content, coming just months after the launch of ChatGPT, might give the impression leaders are scrambling to catch up. But for years now, the Chinese Communist Party has planned to power up AI innovations — even as it contains them.

I corrected it, sorry.

Corrected. Sorry, and thanks @masterspace@lemmy.ca

ICC's Karim Khan announces arrest warrant application for Israeli and Hamas leaders

[Regarding Israel, the arrest warrants so far go against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.]

Just stumbled upon this on social media as a message to democratic countries:

In a video posted on Xitter, a Russian soldier who defected to Ukraine says his unit were using Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet via an IP address in Latvia. They were paying for the subscription over Telegram.

What happens in Xinjiang is as disgusting and inhuman as is what happens in Gaza, and so is this whataboutism that is still widespread here.

Just one among many examples is this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/18948648 with the title: "English-language Wikipedia editors concluded: Israel committing genocide in Gaza"

At the time of this writing, there are 69 comments to this post, but none of them is mentioning the genocide in China, no whataboutism. Why not here?

And the whole 'story' is based on a Wikipedia entry, you know, the same Wikipedia that is criticized in the .ml communities for its bad quality seems to be good enough here. Why?

The article relates to the share of advertising revenue these Maga guys get. Musk and his dozens of shareholders earn Xitter's bottom line, of course, but this is a different story.

Elon Musk Urges To Free Telegram Chief Pavel Durov After His Arrest In Paris --- (Archived link)

The Telegram chief executive, Pavel Durov, was arrested by the French Police in Paris this morning, and the X owner, Elon Musk, has reacted to his arrest. Musk shared a snippet from one of Durov's interviews where he was talking about X. While sharing this snippet, Musk wrote, "#FreePavel." [...]

According to Russia's TASS state news agency, the Russian embassy in France is taking "immediate steps" to clarify this situation [...]

By operating from the United Arab Emirates, Telegram has managed to avoid the content moderation laws that Western countries are imposing on major platforms to combat illegal content.

As a legal layman I would say that domestic companies aren't shielded anyway from human rights accountability.
