As a Mexican, I find this actions from the US to try to maintain the "Pax Americana" Imperialism quite interesting. People in US centric forums like HN, Reddit, Slashdot, etc just cannot understand or see it, and it's OK; it is their country and their ideals. They are allowed to unequivocally take their country side.
But for uninterested 3rd parties, it's quite entertaining the bitchslap games that China and the US play with these sort of policies (Google ban, tiktok ban, etc).

- somenameforme 3y agoI suspect the issue is much more petty than some grand ideological drive. Very recently Biden made a TikTok account and his team tried their best to create some sort of platform appropriate undoubtedly focus tested messaging. It went about as well as anybody would expect. [1] Now a few weeks later, the platform's getting banned. We sure do always come up with great and grand sounding reasons for everything though, at least to an American ear. It's only once your cynicism hits ridiculous levels that everything starts to suddenly make so much more sense.
