“But what about this entirely unrelated thing”?

Also, why do so many trolls assume that anyone who criticise a second or third world country is automatically American?

I will say this as a non-American: the US are great for a lot of things and terrible for a lot of others. They have a lot to answer for, and what you mention is barely scratching the surface, as for any country with a bit of history. I still don’t want China to have any control over what happens here and I am still never buying anything from Huawei. Same for Russia, for that matter.

You buy plenty from both even if you don’t realize it.

The food you ate today has a high likelihood of being fertilized with Russian inputs.

The hardware you typed your comment up on was probably made in China.

You misread. I am not buying from Huawei (and a couple of others, not all Chinese, and not all for the same reasons).

Importing raw material is strikingly unlike importing cutting edge telecommunication devices. Thanks for making that point, I thought it was obvious.

> The hardware you typed your comment up on was probably made in China.

Indeed it is. You are very smart.
