Zuckerberg mimics politicians’ tune to fend off competition

Ironically, when Zuckerberg addressed Tsinghua University in Beijing five years ago, he praised “great Chinese companies” such as Alibaba and Xiaomi, and China’s history as “a story of innovation.” But now, he accuses China of stealing technology from the US. China’s technological progress is built on China’s own indigenous innovations. As American companies have devolved into groundlessly accusing China of technological theft, how can people believe that the US could maintain its leading technological position in the world?
