    Hmm, I don’t know… Maybe it’s a fantasy but I trust my country (US) to at least somewhat have my interests at heart, if for no other reason than mutual self-interest and absolutely nothing else. I can’t say the same for China. I do think they have nefarious purposes. Not only that, but there’s some chance of discovering what US companies are up to. I couldn’t even begin to imagine how one would obtain information about what Chinese companies are doing, they’re basically an extension of the CCP, which has gone off the deep end, sadly, at least in my fairly uninformed opinion.

        No, but mine is slightly more likely to engage in mutual self-interest than China is, as I argued in my previous comment. The US ain’t perfect, but China is far less so.

      “Maybe it’s a fantasy but I trust my country (US) to at least somewhat have my interests at heart”

      I mean, they might, but that depends entirely on your net worth, and if you have to ask how much, they don’t.

      If your last name is Walton or Buffet though, both major parties will gladly suck on your genitals personally.
