Hate to be that guy like "why can't we get along". I can understand when I'm the one in some camp that would be pretty "in my face"/relatable. I'm trying to see aside from IP what the US provides/would provide to China. Food maybe. Vise versa in a manner where does China need the US. If they were to somehow "strike the mainland" whether by lack of supply, etc... what would they do when US is out of the picture, use other countries? It's hard to see the "good" with regard to my initial comment I guess I am just naive... sure I have running water/access to knowledge but do other people have that, there are always bad people... it'll be interesting to see what happens. Also more on topic, seems they seal everything on their end anyway why YouTube. And with "truly" decentralized technology not biased by nationality that would be interesting. Not sure how, data pipelines, machines, etc... nothing is guaranteed to be "secure"/not tampered, encryption maybe, even that "do you personally know every single line of code" sounds conspiratorial ha.

  The US has exported over a trillion dollars worth of stuff to China in the last ten years.

    So that right there, that to me seems like you want US not for just "raw materials" but their expertise in building that stuff. I'm really ignorant to the whole war/oppression thing. I get dividing people by race/controlling media and all that is bad. Are "we" just in the way from what they want. Our freedom ideals goes against their wish, etc... Go Google haha(to me).
