Pretty poor start to the conversation, but I will (charitably) guess you [Slonak Nana] felt you had to be so brief because of the fundamental problem with FP abuse.
However I'm not familiar with your context, so I'm guessing that "clone" is a specific project on github and you think it can do what the Chinese need (at least insofar as it was described in the summary). Care to clarify? (Not restricted to the OP, by the way.) And yes, I searched on github and did find a large number of repositories named "clone" or including "clone", but none of them that seem relevant to this story.
However my main response is that your general solution approach is no good and that the Chinese would have to be crazy to seriously consider it. These days they are already having too many "reliability" problems with supposedly international infrastructure and they have the critical mass to build their own infrastructure just for China. I do think they would be willing to use an international platform and that they would even like the long-term marketing prospects from using international platforms, but certainly not if it's a "Heads America wins, tails China loses" proposition.
Much more plausible would be to create their own dog food, which seems to be the thrust of this story, and hope that they can make it so tasty that eventually all the mice in the world will start beating a path to their door in hopes of sharing in the dog food. No, I'm not going for Funny moderation, but I tend to mix and mangle my metaphors and similes. Badly.
I'm actually more interested in speculations about a political response from China to the political problems created by Trump. I'm not sure it would have been possible to negotiate economic solutions to the problems, but it's obvious that Trump can't negotiate anything with anyone. My premise is that the Chinese crimes were primarily economic and related to playing the "capitalist" game too hard for our taste, but of course you should disagree if you think it's primarily a political problem. However, if the Chinese do decide on a political response, then Trump is the obvious target and they have some major economic weapons with which they could do enormous economic AND political damage.
The real threat is Xi's possible decision to consolidate more losses under the bad year of Covid-19. An extremely bad year, even for the few countries that have managed to contain the disease, but China has other losses that have to be written off the books at some point, so why not now, when those losses will be nearly invisible because of the Covid-19 red ink?
Me? I just want to get completely out of the stock market. If I were a gambling man, I'd be speculating on a huge dip in October driven by Chinese gamesters (with Chinese insiders profiting on the flip side).
One more thing linking back to the main story here. I would also wager that the Chinese internal market is above critical mass now. They have a large middle class and a large service economy and can largely transition out of manufacturing even if Trump throws his YUGEST tantrums at them.
You said you were sure about the context here is probably because my comment wasn't target at you; but to the target audience /. readers who works with open source repositories.
I am referring to git ; the open source repositories and behaviour of git commands; and if you want to know more open source repositories; you can start with https://git-scm.com/docs/git-clone ;
You will get the context; what's the meaning of git clone, upstream and forks as people can clone, upstream to this newly repository, and claim it their own.
But yes, I do agree on some points you made; the stock market so far have performed very well under Trump's administrations. The stock market have its own will and don't lie, I hope.
Americans will have a decision to make whether to keep their jobs in USA in October; or let jobs flood back to China. Whether this allow China to suppress human rights further, or even conquer the world, no one knows;
Yes, I heard some many "advice" to invest in China's digital currency now that are bound to rise several folds after the October election
I heard its a great currency, in which currently its in a form of cash vouchers that you can only barter for goods and services; switching to other commodities such as gold or foreign currencies should be discouraged; as it only can be done with the help of unofficial channel.
"If you trust the China's digital currency, why should you switch out ?" - This attitude should be held at all time if you decide to invest in this digital currency.
I think that's another topic in which I prefer to stay out of and told in another /. story, therefore, back to the main thread; it is a git / geek / nerd reply I was hoping shouldn't turn out to be political; but alas, I guess you cannot escape from politics nowadays for just a simple reply.
