Another way China is doing AI differently. I am not surprised this happened, by the way. In China, the people&#39;s voice is actually heard and acted on. If you understand the way their politics work and the way their government is structured, it will not surprise you at all. Unfortunately, most Westerners do not understand or think that there are other ways to govern society beyond democracy. They think that non-democratic countries are basically autocratic, but they do not understand that societies have been governed in many different ways for ages. I feel that although democracies can bring some good, they often delay progress and only the loudest gets heard. The loudest do not always have the best interest of society at heart, only their own. In the United States, I do not think it is a democracy anymore, but a plutocracy. In that society, only corporations and billionaires are heard. https://www.caixinglobal.com/2026-04-30/chinese-courts-rule-companies-cannot-fire-workers-simply-to-replace-them-with-ai-102439602.html #Ai #China

@liztai@hachyderm.io This is pretty egregious defence of authoritarianism and erasure of China's horrible labour abuses and AI policies I'll mute you shortly but I think anyone boosting you this needs to take a moment and think about the message here, and whether you're just viewing China as a magical land that has solved all of your problems, rather than a real place with real people In China, the people's voice is actually heard and acted on. how? what are the democratic feedback mechanisms in china? where are the journalists, lawyers, independent trade unions, etc.? If you understand the way their politics work and the way their government is structured, it will not surprise you at all. really? how is the government structured? who are the most marginalized people in china, and how do they get a voice in the government? In that society [America], only corporations and billionaires are heard. well, I'm glad that in china corporations and billionaires' influence is small, then! (it's not) And for anyone who actually wants real news from and about China, and not a weird projected illusion: https://chinadigitaltimes.net https://chinamediaproject.org https://chinalaborwatch.org https://lausancollective.com
