> See this chinese tech reviewer[1] being bullied by the government for putting a spotlight on chinese phone makers cheating about benchmarks. I'm not sure the US is at this point yet...

Plenty of signs point towards this being a case where it wasn't the government, so it's not a good example. Instead it looks to have been the tech companies filing takedowns and threatening lawsuits. Especially when it comes to China, this is a big difference.

You should've pointed towards more clear-cut examples like Naomi Wu and Peng Shuai. But those cases are less unthinkable in the US, and it should be uncontroversial to say that it's what's been worked towards.
