> china has no leverage on my daily life

No leverage other than, you know, letting you have tons of products that it can update on a whim and monitor what you do, where you go, etc. The funds you gave them end up in Chinese taxes, or more, and that ends up as an absolute nightmare against your own country's best interests. How can you even try saying that's not leverage?

Don't seem too different from the other side. And which one should I prefer the one which just ended 20 year occupation in abysmal way. Or one that is currently and in close future focusing on areas near itself...
