    US looks very militaristic to me. It has a very broken democracy, and a history of supporting/causing brutal dictatorships.

      The control the Chinese gov has over tiktok is on a different scale compared to Google and the US

        Just to play devil’s advocate here, how many military bases has China got in other countries, compared to the US?

          How many McDonald’s are there compared to general tso’s chicken?

          Both comparisons are irrelevant. It is about how much control and access China/US have over tiktok/Google and the user data and algorithms.

        The US doesn’t try. It just bombs the fuck out of anyone worth exploiting production of anything any private exploitator willing to play “business” there wants.

            Ghastly business, that. Unavoidable, really, and tragic. Anyways, here’s our top stories tonight: the US kills its own population with the most potent designer drugs in history, at a 0% tax revenue! “This is great for the economy”, according to Experts, who warn that the same measures would be “devastating” under Democratic rule.
