More than that: the US gov't has declared their own tech giants a threat. Meanwhile, the Chinese gov't is supporting theirs as a potential goldmine on all fronts: national security, foreign policy, economic.
- wobblegong 7y agoGood point, I've never thought about it that way. We usually see US tech firms supporting the govt (and the resulting protests from their employees). But I wonder how the climate were to change if the govt was proactive in supporting the local tech firms instead.
- natalyarostova 7y agoIt's slightly concerning that in the US there is increasing pressure to force tech companies to not support our government in its military needs, but the Chinese military is fully supported by theirs.
