On the other hand I think it’s good for governments to face the consequences of their actions. If the Chinese government wants to treat technology as a surveillance mechanism, they shouldn’t be surprised when other countries want to avoid Chinese apps. Similarly, after revelations that the US government was messing with American companies, we lost business in places like Europe.
It is unfortunate that there’s less diversity of competition, but the loss of trust happened for a reason.
- hakka-nyu-su 6y agoThe comparison doesn't seem proportional at all. American tech companies were not forced to sell their technology to European investors in order to avoid their apps being banned in Europe. They were just fined.
- AbrahamParangi 6y agoThe obvious comparison is that American tech companies are forced to do almost exactly that in China. The absence of reciprocity is foolishness.
