| >>> So why is that less of a concern than China controlling a media delivery service? >> US Government likes US Government control because it's themselves. > I know. That doesn't tell me why China controlling a social media algorithm is inherently any worse from yours or my perspective. Why is it less of a concern to you if you control your bank account than if I do? If we're not making obvious distinctions today, you should give me your bank account credentials, since we're all the same. >> They don't want an adversary to have control. > Is the "adversary" claim not undermined by them being a primary trade partner? It is not. I have difficulty imagining your question is not founded on feigned ignorance. China is an adversary of the US. Some optimistic and naive Western politicians in the 90s thought making them a "primary trade partner" would cause political changes that would eliminate the rivalry. They were wrong, and weakened their countries in the process. That's been clear for like ten years. Now their mistake needs to be dealt with. |
