I hope not. I am so tired of "but if you don't let us be evil, China will" as a justification to allow tech monopolies to operate unchecked.

We should regulate Amazon, and we cannot regulate Temu, we ban it.

China’s banning our tech companies and they’re regulating the shit out of their own. They do a lot of shit we shouldn’t but they’re dead on that tech companies should serve society instead of the other way around

eh, the US also bans Chinese tech companies too, i think the fear of data being used inappropriately is equally high on both parties. The US does have more international and larger corporations, so obviously in terms of number we have more banned.

Not really. There are some hardware bans, but are there any bans on the software companies?

We should regulate Amazon, and we cannot regulate Temu, we ban it.

Then we're back to the trade war. The tit-for-tat from that became ridiculous.

We have always been in a trade war, we just never fought back.

We are not back in the trade war. We always IN the trade war. Look up how many things are banned in China while their companies like Tencent/Tiktok/ Aliexpress/Temu just do whatever they want here.

The question has and will always been, so what are you gonna do about it?
