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

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

Yeah sure, all for the lovely price of some economic warfare and industrial espionage. Who could disagree with that??

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?
