The whole “if you criticise the Chinese government you must be racist against the Chinese” thing is getting really old. You don’t see the same national security risk concerns when it comes to Taiwan which is mostly inhabited by exactly the same ethnicity so this accusation can be completely dismissed in this context. Using the racism card, and trying to hijack the Asian anti-racism movement (don’t assume I’m ignoring the real problem of racism against Asians btw) for its own purpose, is a pretty blatant PRC propaganda tool. So I find it ironic that you complain about western propaganda (which is a real thing, I’m not ignoring that either) while falling completely for such blatant PRC propaganda talking points. It feels like you’re also just dismissing the idea that PRC does represent a significant national security risk to USA? I mean, looking at recent history that’s objectively true. How much it should be emphasised in the context of a commercial business that doesn’t involve telecommunication is arguable. But it’s worth talking about. The fact that they’re “communist” (well, I’d argue they’re in reality authoritarian state capitalist.. but I think we have the same political structure in mind) is extremely relevant. China has a history of not letting American companies operate in China under the same terms as Chinese companies can operate in USA, precisely because they are “communist”. That’s objectively true. It’s fair to debate whether it’s OK to let Chinese companies operate freely in USA when they put up so many barriers for American companies in China. To raise these very real issues is not just propaganda. They’re issues worth thinking about.
