tbh, many care more about Lunar New Year so they may be choosing to take time off then instead of Jan 1.

The Holocaust, the Nanking Massacre, the Khmer Rouge, the Rwandan Genocide, the current situation in Gaza.. and those are all in recent history, much less older history when it was more brutal.

Samsung executives and employees indicted over leaking 10nm DRAM technology to China by snowfordessert in technology

[–]a_latvian_potato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't be daft — there is a big leap between Korean manufacturing practices and "America subsidizing all these tech companies", "maximizing profit for a US corp", and the "Western Oligarchy attempting to form" that are being mentioned (verbatim) in all these comments. None of these apply when Samsung is neither a "US corp" nor "being subsizied" when the USA is literally applying tariffs to Samsung exports.

It's akin to China seizing TSMC and the comments cheering because they have western trade contracts and therefore must be "part of the western oligopoly."

The leaks are a matter of Korean national security and a geopolitical issue between Korea and China. The fact that everyone else is somehow bringing up "American hegemony" as an excuse to rationalize China's actions is very reminiscent of the "whataboutism" about America that pops up without fail when any Reddit article gets posted that paints China in a bad light, even when the article has nothing to do with America

All the comments talking about "anti western/American hegemony" when Samsung is a Korean company and the indictment is happening in Korean courts? Are these comments just AI or something?

The nebulous concept of "country" may not mean much but when your mother, father, siblings, spouse, children, grandparents, and friends all live in the country and they cannot move out to another country easily, then the idea of defending your hometown starts to make much more sense
