It's a myth. It depends on what the company does.

Internet services? Yes, you need a domestic partner, because you'll disseminate information to the public.

If you're in the automobile industry, you can import cars to China. China was Porsche's largest market until 2025, and all Porsches are imported. It used to be that a Chinese partner is needed to manufacture cars in China, but Tesla did not need one, and that policy was dropped. Anyway, it's nowhere close to the complete ban the US placed on Chinese cars.

In many other industries, you can create a foreign-owned company and operate in China.

I live in Shanghai. Many if not all kids have smart watches with payment apps.

I don't think it's intentional racism, but a lot of what many western folks think of China come from propaganda. China has visa-free policy for many countries now. Go check it out in person.

They are operating outside of their circle of competence, because they are not working on an engineering problem.

By the time China entered the war, the invasion was already over. China entered the war for two reasons: 1) to make sure China was not invaded as MacArthur intended 2) to keep North Korea alive as a buffer, not to help invade South Korea. There was nothing to gain for China if the North unified Korea. Their relationship wasn't that good in the first place.

> Support for North Korea's invasion of South Korea 1950-1953.

China did not support North Korea's invasion. North Korea did not seek China's support initially and only asked for Stalin's permission. China would not have entered the Korea war at all if MacArthur did not disobey Truman and marched all the way to the Chinese border. He also publicly stated that he planned to bomb China. It was one of the reasons for which he was fired. All this was well documented in the US's own literature.

Most of the time, the unresponsiveness is due to the touchscreen itself not the software. They usually use inexpensive touchscreens. It's expensive to use something like the iPhone's touchscreen on large screens in cars.
