With anti-Chinese sentiment at an all time high, Cirrus takes it on the chin for being owned by the Chinese government. Should it?

 

I suspect some of the ‘hate’ is actually envy.
Even if you don’t like Cirrus, they are a remarkable success story.
Of course there was a similar rant against Japanese cars in the US rust belt for years.

Paul does a good job. Read the comments and you find out what sort of audience people HE has to deal with.  My concerns with Cirrus is not who owns the company. Nev

The Chinese have always played the "long game", while stupid Americans can only see short term profits, without taking into account the multitude of other factors.

 

The big problem with the Chinese is the fact that they have purloined every useful piece of Western technology, ideas and inventions, often by stealth and spying - along with simple eavesdropping - without any intention of paying for that technological knowledge.

The Huawei spying claims and decisions to cut Huawei out of important Western projects is just the tip of the iceberg. If we knew what the spy agencies know, we would probably be aghast.

Just the sheer level of personal data theft by Western corporations is a pointer to what the Chinese could have obtained. And all that technological advantage is used to their benefit, not ours.

Recent revelations as to just how much information is gleaned from technology devices where users speak to operate them, is eye-opening. They can easily be switched on remotely to eavesdrop on every conversation.

Based on my 45 year manufacturing industry corporate career, when it comes to strategic myopia, we in Oz can teach the USA a thing or two.
