Reply to comment by random_shitter in Who controls TikTok? ByteDance unable to allay fears in the West over Chinese state influence and data access by Saltedline
Cool, I'd still rather have an agency we can control to some degree vs a foreign power we have no influence over.

Me as a European: those 2 piles of shit smell exactly the same.

One party you’re talking about vowed to keep up our safety and democracy in Europe while the other party you’re talking about completely hates the western world we’re living in. There’s a clear difference

Edit: I also know of no active hostilities from China towards the West. They complain about our meddling but I can't blame then for that.
If the USA would keep to their own as China does, USA wouldn't be known as warmongers.

Do we need to get into how much the French spy on us? Or can we just acknowledge that the level of rivalry between Airbus and Boeing isn't the same?

For me Chinese influence is no good because we share the same waters. US is a bit fine since they're far away, and they're busy with games in the middle east anyways.
