Ultimately this is about many nations pursuing "data sovereignty" in lieu of having ability to completely wrestle domestic platform supremacy from Silicon Valley / US. Whether nations choose to pursue privacy/control is

It's not about PRC wanting full-scale war, but PRC wanting to deterring full-scale war via mutual vunerability. PRC would like nothing better for to intervene on TW without US intervention. Comment chainw as in response to your origina

If you'd ever wondered what pro-CIA astroturfing looks like, this is a pretty good example of the typical playbook. - Accuse someone of being a shill without addressing argument - Dismiss completely valid comparisons as whataboutism R

Currently PRC can still hit US basing in SK or JP and trigger US art5 tier security umbrella forcing them to fight within 1st island chain and range of strong PRC A2AD. Unless US choose to forgo commitment and obligations which is self def

Not practical for US who has platforms to hit global targets at much lower costs, i.e. money spent on hypersonic research can build up enough JASSMs to last until WW5. But IMO useful backup if adversaries manage to negate platforms like car

There's massive labour shortage in JP. There's more foreign workers from Asia than ever. But I wager JP will adopt foreign worker model like ME petro states versus immigration model.

Somewhat relevant that Grinder was purchased in 2018 by PRC company and forced to sell via CFIUS because data could be used to potentially blackmail military/gov officials. Which is both commentary on PRC aquisition strategies and US m

>Proof is in the pudding. Which neglects the point that USN aren't using CVNs to conduct FONOP in PRC SCS features that US does not recognize. There's no explanation other than being risk averse considering other developments.

Alternate interpretation doesn't jive with analysis last few years that PRC has overwhelming A2D2 advantage in region. The parsimonious explanation is US doesn't want to put CVNs at risk or expose carriers to growing PRC ELINT cap

You mean the world that uses PRC vaccines with stats that comports with CCP numbers. Or the world's supply chains that runs on CCP numbers being within ball park. The world uses oblique indicators to verify CCP numbers which are useful
