Nah, the Chinese companies just don't believe that a business moat could be built by pure technologies given there're a surplus supply of fundings and capable engineers, as well as the mediocre IP protection law enforcement in China market.
Instead, they believe in building moat upon customer data retentions, user behavior bindings and collaboration network or ecosystem.
It's all about tradeoff between profit margin vs. volume scale, while in China market the latter one always prevail.

But your information source is limited to English world, which favors separatists over the other side.
|> Note that this level of surveillance is not pervasive throughout the rest of China; this is about a region populated by non-Han Chinese (Uyghurs, a who are Muslim and speak a Turkic language); most han residents are colonists.<|
Hah? Xinjiang was founded after the extinction of Dzungar people who were mongolians. Most han and manchu residents in Xinjiang are desendants of military migrants of Qing dynasty.
The Nothern half of Xinjiang had never been populated by Uyghurs and although the Uyghur population has been expanding much more rapidly than other ethinics in Xinjiang, they are NOT the owner of the entire Xinjiang. Please stop repeating these disgusting FAKE claims.
|> the government and newspapers describe it as an integral part of China with a terrorist separatist movement no different from, for example ...<|
They're terrorists. You're a terrorist defender. Pure and simple. Attacking innocent people to attain certain political influnce is the essense of terrorism. I've been fed up by your kind of takiyah and abuse of political correctness.
|> all muslims are evil terrorists <|
It's not true given the Hui muslim in China get many many privileges over Han and other ethnic minorities. One of the most important PRC founding fathers, Zhou Enlai, is a desendant of muslim as his niece recently disclosed. The PRC ethnic and religion policy framework was set up by Zhou Enlai. The Xinjiang problem was sparked by Zhou's wife Deng Yinchao in 1980s. The CCP censoring departments are established and controlled by Hui muslim CCP leaders according to the Criminal Law Act 250/251 (which was set up by a Hui imam in 1997).
In fact, many atheist and agnostic people are fearing the rapid islamization of China society, especially the legal/eductional sectors and the hatred the Hui CCP leaders showing towards Han and other secular ethinic groups.
In conclution, you know NOTHING about the REAL China. Han people don't have the proprotional ruling power and influence over the CCP elites with respect to the population scale. Keeping China as an integral nation is the responsibility of the PRC government, not the duty of common Han people. It's Hui wumaos who have been yelling to nuke Taiwan.
REPEAT AGAIN: Zhou Enlai was a Hui deceived as Han and set up a lot of laws against so called "Han chauvinism". This month alone there are two legal cases sentenced 2 Han people into jail for humiliating respectful historical ethnic figures.
Downvote me as you wish. Given the twisted information the English media keep spreading, I won't be surprised there'll be a civilization collision between West and East, beneficial to all muslims, if one day the Han people fight back the islamization led by those Hui CCP elites.
Great civilizations never fail to rising challengers but always fail to their own arrogance and ignorance.

Thanks for letting me know I only speak English; I’ll be sure to tell my non-English-speaking relatives that I’ve been speaking to them in English all these years rather than their various languages.
That's utter rubbish. In fact, due to the lack of birth control policy over the ethnic minorities, the demographic structure in Xinjiang is changing drastically and the 0~6 years old Han population is less than 10% percent compared to 40% of the adult population. Colonization your ass.
The Han people are furious because the CCP uses Han as a tool to maintain its rule over China but keeps sacrificing the future of Han.
Given the CCP's pro-Hui policy, many of Han people fear that some day China will become an Islamic country like Iran or Malaysia.
When you talk to Uyghurs, don't forget to ask their opinions about the Hui Muslim and Erdogan's Neo-Ottomanism.
I feel sick about the CCP's cruelty but I feel absurd when you blame the ethnic majority for colonization.
Yeah. In fact, the CCP has been pro-Hui Muslim to an extent that the Han majority fear the country will be Islamicized some day.
The ordinary people's resentment towards Muslim stems from the Hui's abuse of political privileges to expand their religious strengths, such as Saria Law, to intervene Han people's daily life everywhere, from Ningxia, Gansu to Henan and Shandong, from Canteens, Schools to Police, Courts.
In the meanwhile, the majority has little to zero knowledge about the Uyghurs because only a few Uyghur people live outside Xinjiang.
The situation is really weird and there is a conspiracy theory saying that the CCP leadership has been controlled by the Hui Muslim.
BTW, the Hui Muslim and the Uyghur Muslim have been enemies since the Qing Dynasty.
In fact, the government structure designed by Lisi in Qin dynasty 2000 years ago, and still being used today, is a fragile structure in peaceful times. It's a structure designed for war and the law enforcement tends to vanish if no direct threats are present to ordinary people. The central government will lose authority if the officials cannot contain dissenters, especially those who may be backed up by the provincial government officials.
We still don't know the details about what he actually had done besides drafting the manifesto.If he tried to create a political group to materialize the 08 Charter, then it's definitely a substantial threat to the central government and even to most of the Chinese people, though it would be a trivial issue in any western countries.
The Norwegian government officials apparently had no idea about the severity of backing a dissenter challenging the central government in China due to cultural gap. In fact, many NGOs failed the same way in China. Those few who helps the central government are successful though.
Liu spotted many flaws in the current political structure that many Chinese people know for years. Even scholars in northern Song dynasty and late Ming dynasty also tried to fix the same drawbacks Liu mentioned, but they failed miserably and gave up the entire civilization to Mongolians and Manchurians.
In my opinion, Liu's importance is exaggerated by western media. His solution to our centuries-old problem is completely non-realistic and very dangerous. Ordinary Chinese people will laugh at his naiveness instead of respecting his idealism.
To do a successful political system reform to attain the same achievements that western civilization has obtained through hundreds of years of improvement, China needs to meet Chinese people's most urgent demands step by step and reason from First Principles instead of mimic any model countries.
It's kind of similar to the way for a startup to succeed.
Edit: Added the Norwegian government paragraph and fixed some grammar issues.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a huuuge Thinkpad fanboy. But the argument "it's still better than HP in any sense" just doesn't hold water in its generality.
What is "it" in this context? Lenovo makes lots of laptops, from lowest end consumer to high end business models that have very little in common build-wise, same as HP.
You can't just compare a Thinkpad with a low-end Pavilion, just as it doesnt make sense to compare an entry level Ideapad with a ZBook or EliteBook.
Instead, they believe in building moat upon customer data retentions, user behavior bindings and collaboration network or ecosystem.
