This story [0] covers a report that they worked with the CCP to help with the Geoocide against the Uighurs. That's not exactly what you asked for, but I think it contributed to the deeper point: if you do business in China, you give the CCP what they want. If that's Uighur's hiding in cellars or a senator's affair before (s)he votes on tariffs or whatever, it doesn't really make a difference. Don't get me wrong, the NSA are playing the same "game" and have been caught a lot more often.

Thank you for not responding with hostility. I do believe the goals of the Chinese government are nefarious, I mean this quote is pure insanity: > Together with the Public Security Bureau, Huawei will unlock a new era of smart policing and help build a safer, smarter society Maybe moves will be made in the future and I’ll look dumb for questioning this. In the mean time I guess I’ll go back to work so that I can pay Uncle Sam to perpetuate the glorious US war machine.

  Most of your tax money goes to healthcare and social security. For 2020 the HHS alone is 2x the defense budget. https://www.thebalance.com/fy-2020-federal-budget-summary-of-revenue-and-spending-4797868 https://www.thebalance.com/fy-2020-federal-budget-summary-of... 2019 budget so you can exclude Corona and still see it's mostly health programs and social security - https://www.cbo.gov/publication/56324 https://www.cbo.gov/publication/56324
