Yup, just keep on thinking that the ten highly educated, trained, and experienced Chinese engineers for every American one are useless idiots...
... And you'll be living in a third-world country before you even hear the sh1t hit the fan.

Never said they were idiots, however
I believe their capacity for reverse engineering (possibly funded by non-Chinese companies)knows no boundries.

Er, yeah, like no engineer in any other country has ever reverse-engineered or been inspired by other people's work.
They ain't aliens from outer space; they're people (and engineers) and they behave just like people (and engineers) from any other country (and bear in mind that it was Chinese engineers and designers who fixed all the problems and filled in the multitude of gaps in apple's rough, marketing-based designs -- I dare say that, just like with every product, a good half of iWhatever design is the creation of the poor sods who have to actually make the damned things).
They're going to kick our @rses good and proper, if we're not smart enough to react well -- and "let's nuke the fackers!" and "Hurh! All they can do is copy!" could hardly be defined as the epitome of reacting well.

Did you notice the joke icon?
Just saying!

Hunh? Do you sign in with different accounts?
I don't believe in icons, anyway, unless you can double-click 'em.

Why do you say that?
The icon was there and you reacted... mmm... forcefully? Just pointed out there was need for a storm in a teacup...
Even though it has nothing to do with me... except the natural instinct for fairness!

I see no joke icon -- you're not wearing cheap, Chinese knock-off glasses, are you?

Behold[^]!
Someone else's reply to your post with the first "nuke them off comment" and the joke icon!!

I didn't reply to that (because I'm obviously not as slick as Jimmy Kimmel, who would do best never to go to China). The threadlet I replied on had no joke icons, and was kicked off by a pretty dumb, racist statement.
