> the laziness of most western governments in understanding if this was a threat or not I think USA recognized the threat very early on. It's been a hot-button topic for several years. Remember when the Trump administration tried to force a sale of ByteDance's USA operations to Microsoft? And even now the apps and services are blocked on US government devices and networks. And even at a lot of public universities. The concern is there. I don't think it's laziness.
