People have this fear of trusting the Chinese government, and I get it, but that doesn't make all of china bad.

No, but it does make all of China untrustworthy. Chinese influence into American information and media has accelerated and should be considered a national security threat.

All the while the most America could do was to ban TikTok for half a day. What a bunch of clowns. Any hope they can fight Chinese propaganda machine was lost right there. With an orange clown at the helm, it is only gonna get worse.

Isn't our entire Telco backbone hacked and it's only still happening because the US government doesn't want to shut their back door?

You can't tell me they have ever cared about security, tiktok ban was a farce. Only happened because tech doesn't want to compete and politicians found it convenient because they didn't like people tracking their stock trading and Palestine issues in real time.
