Attached: 3 images tldr: GitCode or China is attempting to mirror/clone the entire GitHub over to their own servers and there's nothing you can do about it, even if your license somehow disagrees with it. Apparently China now has their own GitHub/public Git repository hosting service called GitCode; it is owned and operated by CSDN under the company name "重庆开源共创科技有限公司". It is being reported that many users' repository are being cloned and re-hosted on GitCode without authorization - meaning your project may very well be on this service without you explicitly allowing.

GitCode, a git-hosting website operated Chongqing Open-Source Co-Creation Technology Co Ltd and with technical support from CSDN and Huawei Cloud.

      I would argue that this culture would possibly be good to learn from them, first. It didn’t come to existence as some kind of social evolution, but was impressed by power.

      Second, at least they are behind Europeans in the culture of genocide.

          Learn from stealing ane copying ? Meh.

          Learn some respect, first of all, - China has had quite a few developmental achievements historically.

          Learn that intellectual property is a less certain case than material property. Especially intellectual property in cases where there’s only one way to do something.

          Learn that if you steal and copy well enough, you can dominate or replace those you steal and copy from. Say, Spanish is not the dominant language on this planet, because the rest of Europe was stealing and copying well enough. Say, western Roman Empire ended, because peoples under its influence were stealing and copying well enough to go on without such a hegemon.

          Learn that there’s no end of history and sometimes you have to be more cunning.

          Learn that you are stupid and if you don’t know how to do things right, find the way to do them somehow, it’s better than nothing.

          A lot of things.

          Second is completely unrelated

          Well, it’s related in my PoV.

          (but also false btw)

          We are discussing this in English, mostly American English at that.
