- Daho0n 6y agoNo there are big differences. For example in China FAANG could easily be stopped from doing things they shouldn't while in the US it takes years and years of lobbying, talking to the media, making backroom deals, sitting on ones arse, changing the laws so it isn't unlawful anymore, etc.
