>How and why the US allowed companies like Huawei, Ali, DJI and TikTok take over American markets and infiltrate pretty much every single layer of national security for years
How are they "infiltrating every single layer of national security"? Sensationalism aside, can you provide some concrete examples?
- yesbut 4y ago> can you provide some concrete examples? No, he can't. "China bad, man on tv said so"
- 4gotunameagain 4y agoAh sorry, a competing imperialist nation which is actively performing genocides is suddenly to be trusted ? USA should not be trusted either, but.. the devil you know
- Cookingboy 4y agoOf course there are many reasons to not trust China, but it doesn't mean you don't need any shred of evidence to make up shit against them. Like...that's not how that works. And calling China "imperialist" is borderline hilarious. How many military bases do they have around the world and how many brown people countries have they bombed?
