I've never heard that before. Is there an article or some source you can link to so I can read about it?

When they had the cryptography restriction, I’m pretty sure it was still ok in Canada to export it. That’s why OpenBSD is based in Calgary.

It’s also a bit different when you’re catching up due to interference/imperialism by foreign countries (like the US) in your country’s affairs from the past 100+ years. Why wouldn’t the state help develop its industries?

Yes, the US government is well known for its lack of corruption.

The US has their own aristocracy, they just don’t have titles: the Rockefellers, the Mellons, etc. Shall we expropriate them too?

Because American companies definitely don’t sell your data.

They still have it where I live (Catalonia, Spain). Also, the fact that was repealed doesn’t really say whether or not it was a good policy or not.

Isn’t the USA doing this very thing with sanctions against Venezuela and Iran? Even if you’re not an American company, you can be punished by the USA for doing business in countries that they have sanctioned. So let’s not pretend like this

I think it is helpful because it’s asking for consistency. People are (rightfully) outraged when a protestor dies in Hong Kong, but protestors also die in the US. For example, the Kent State shootings: https://en.m.wikipedia.org&

So China is bad because they invested in eastern EU countries?

The GP is calling for consistency. Calling out “whataboutism” does not make that an invalid point.

The US let Canada be Canada by forcing them to renegotiate NAFTA and then unilaterally imposing steel and aluminum tariffs while the negotiations were going on as leverage? The US is by far the biggest bully in the world and has been since

My impression would be that China isn't going to flip a switch after 50 years and suddenly switch to the Chinese system. I would imagine they would do it gradually like they're doing now.

Or maybe the people in China are happy with their system? Not sure how that makes them cowards.

China has already stated their real intentions. After 50 years of autonomy, there will be no 1 country, 2 systems. They stated this when they took over control of HK and Macau. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_countr
