“These biases stem from entrenched gender patterns in the training data as well as from an agreeableness bias induced during the reinforcement learning from human feedback stage.”

No surprise.

Quick question also to you: Do you fundamentally disagree with what Israel and the US are accused of but fully support China’s domestic surveillance, transnational repression, supression of free speech and freedom of the press, bullying of its neighbours, aggression against Taiwan, just because they are perpetrated by “the good guys”?

'China has almost doubled their aggression in cyber’, experts say

Today, Western governments have been more outspoken in linking China to cyber attacks and sanctioned organizations linked to malicious cyber activity. Despite this growing awareness of the threat posed by China-backed groups, … people still don’t have a firm grasp on the extent to which China has infiltrated enterprise systems …

That’s an absurdly bad take to justify whataboutism.

This is not about ‘bolstering cybersecurity’ but rather about attacking other countries. There is nothing even remotely similar to a ‘Tianfu Cup’ in any other country.

As I asked already in another thread: Why is it that whenever one posts something critical of China here on Lemmy, there is some commentary arguing that the US is doing the same? I don’t understand that.

That’s whataboutery back and forth.

when the USA does the same shit, if not worse, and just as blatantly, no one cares.

This is outright false. Just the most recent post in this community is about the NSA spying on air-gapped networks. And there is an awful lot more news on Lemmy criticizing the US, EU, or other Western democracies. (However, there’s no whataboutism in these cases. Why?)

… criticised the practice of sharing vulnerability discoveries internationally, arguing that such strategic assets should stay within China.

A 2018 rule mandates participants of the Tianfu Cup to hand over their findings to the government, instead of the tech companies.

Which countries do have something similar to a ‘Tianfu Cup?’

Not that I think wiretapping is a good thing (it’s very bad, no matter who does it), but why is it that whenever one posts something critical of China here on Lemmy, there is some commentary arguing that the US is doing the same? I don’t understand that. US wiretapping doesn’t make this Chinese policy better.

Quick remainder that the AfD is supported by foreign countries like Russia and China (and Trump and Musk).

A former aide to an AfD politician is being charged of espionage for China

Germany’s federal prosecutor’s office on Tuesday pressed espionage charges against the former aide of Maximilian Krah, a far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) politician, and a Chinese national, both of whom are accused of working for Chinese intelligence agencies.

Simultaneously, three more people were arrested in the western city of Düsseldorf and the town of Bad Homburg, near Frankfurt, also on suspicion of spying for Beijing.

Uyghur Genocide: Activists slam Disney for filming Mulan in Xinjiang

Activists and netizens have been outraged after Disney shot several portions of the action movie Mulan in parts of China where it is believed that authorities have placed countless people, mostly Uyghur Muslims, in concentration camps, subjecting them to human rights abuses. Campaign for Uyghurs Executive Director Rushan Abbas in a video message said she was horrified by the choice of Disney to shoot there ignoring the genocide of people by communist China.

…

“Triggering more controversies and objections from the netizens, the final credits of the movie thanked a government security agency in Xinjiang province.”

…

Social media users noticed that in the credits Disney thanked a number of government entities in Xinjiang, including the public security bureau in the city of Turpan and the “publicity department of CPC Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomy Region Committee”, reports BBC.

The public security bureau in Turpan is tasked with running China’s “re-education” camps where Uighurs are held in detention.

Walt Disney Co. Chief Financial Officer Christine McCarthy said the company’s decision to shoot some scenes of ‘Mulan’ in a controversial region of China has ‘generated a lot of issues for us’, reports Bloomberg.

…

Campaign for Uyghurs Executive Director Rushan Abbas said the issues raised by Disney’s choice to film in a land stained by China’s genocide has serious implications for the entire global community, and especially for the Muslim ummah worldwide …

There are also articles about this. Feel free to apply the whataboutery also there. (s/ just to be safe, it would indeed be better to stop whataboutering and stay on topic.)

… indicating that [China’s] BGI units’ “collection and analysis of genetic data poses a significant risk of contributing to monitoring and surveillance by the government of China, which has been utilised in the repression of ethnic minorities in China”. It also claimed “the actions of these entities concerning the collection and analysis of genetic data present a significant risk of diversion to China’s military programs”.

One of the more elaborated news on that topic:

Chinese officials have implicitly acknowledged responsibility for a series of sophisticated cyber intrusions targeting critical U.S. infrastructure.

During a high-level meeting in Geneva with American officials, representatives from China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs indirectly linked years of computer network breaches at U.S. ports, water utilities, airports, and other critical targets to increasing U.S. policy support for Taiwan […]

Wang Lei, a top cyber official with China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, made the comments after U.S. representatives emphasized that China appeared not to understand how dangerous prepositioning in civilian critical infrastructure was, and how such actions could be viewed as an act of war […]

The admission is considered extraordinary, as Chinese officials have typically denied involvement in cyber operations, blamed criminal entities, or accused the U.S. of fabricating allegations.

Dakota Cary, a China expert at cybersecurity firm SentinelOne, noted that such an acknowledgment, even indirectly, likely required instructions from the highest levels of President Xi Jinping’s government.
