Except China as a state isn't our ally or friend. Their interests lie primarily in furthering their own political and military power, and secondarily benefiting their own population. They're more than eager to steal technology, then use that new-found knowledge and ability combined with massive government subsidies to drown out foreign competitors locally and abroad.

I don't see US politicians in power trying to do things to benefit their own population, such as by providing universal healthcare.

- seppin 8y agoYou're not wrong, it's a common criticism of democracy. Except China is not a democracy, they act only to protect their own grip on power (and keep their stolen party wealth).
- seppin 8y agoDon't forget brutally repressing their citizens, which accounts to a large % of world population.
