    “A lie told often enough becomes true.”

    Whenever I see somebody peddling FUD about Chinese technology, it just reinforces my idea that the vast majority of people are sheep being herded by those richer than them.

    This is a trade war, people. You’re being manipulated to hate Chinese companies because Americans want your money instead. It really is that simple.

    You have to be a special kind of ignorant to think putting your faith in either nation’s corporations is ever a good idea. I guess a lot of people on the Internet now don’t know about PRISM or anything else Snowden has revealed to us.

    Fun fact: The EternalBlue malware developed by the NSA exploited unknown bugs in Windows (0-days.) This malware was leaked to the public and resulted in the WannaCry ransomware, because all Windows computers were vulnerable. The American government never notified the company nor the public of the vulnerability, and many innocent people got screwed over because of it.

    Neither nation ‘cares’ about you. They only want to use you to serve their ruling classes.

      Both are bad, so blocking one should be good and not used as an excuse to let both run rampant…

        Not really! If Chinese companies have your private information, they won’t be able to persecute you the way the American government can without first going through the American government.

        It’s actually the exact opposite, lol. Good job twisting your brain into knots to support a narrative that only exists to make your rulers richer. I expect you to be rewarded by other useful idiots in your social interactions.
