It should be studied how we reached a point where we trust more a Chinese company, that's well know for being state controlled, vs an American company because it seems they could do worse. Still no idea what "worse" it could do because we've reached the threshold where plague and cholera are intertwined and every possible outcome seems abusive.

    When it comes to the World Economic Forum et al, they certainly are. Supposedly socialist administration structures can be eerily similar to the capitalist ones. Down to the committees, or the consultative groups which are steered/controlled by certain individuals for their own ends, and the appeal to the public to gaslight them into thinking they backed whatever all along. Both are top down structures that disenfranchise common people.

Perhaps people are deciding that the impact a nefarious foreign government can have on them is less of a risk than their own government acting the same way. So Chinese should feel safer interacting with American companies and Americans safer interacting with Chinese companies. That's probably bullshit. Could also just be yet another wave of information warfare. I'm like 87.9% sure that bad actors explains nearly every aspect of this awful timeline we are on.

  On a personal level, your own government can absolutely, 100% be more likely to do you harm than a foreign government, for simple jurisdictional reasons. They have more power over your life. And with an administration as corrupt and degenerate as the current US administration, it's an extremely reasonable perspective to have.
