This is a national security issue and I doubt it will change under a Democratic administration. We do not want Chinese control of our payments, nor do we want the amount of surveillance that implies being in the hands of any foreign government... let alone an increasingly totalitarian one with camps, slave labor, and many other alarming human rights abuses.
Think Russian election meddling was bad in 2016? It was amateur hour, basically just memes and bots and on the level of what a determined 4chan mob can accomplish. China armed with deep social graph data could completely own an election. They are better financed and smarter.
There is a ton of naïveté on display here.

It doesn't narrow it down. > It was amateur hour, basically just memes and bots and on the level of what a determined 4chan mob can accomplish. I think you underestimate the technical acumen of the Russian psyops campaign. Do not measure it by what it looks like measure it by its outcome. Don't underestimate the Russians, ever. > There is a ton of naïveté on display here. True
