    When the US does it it’s just established practise. When a non-US entity does the same thing, it’s suddenly a matter of national security.

    The anti-Chinese vibe in the US right now is rather absurd. The rise of China should have been viewed as an opportunity, not a threat.

      When you see the amount of patriotism people seem to get flooded in from an early age, it’s kinda understandable the blindness a lot of Americans have to how shitty their country has gotten.

      On the flip side, China definitely has its own problems, particularly with such an authoritarian government currently.
