    The whole “China bad America good” concept has been put in a different light of late.

    Does EU/North America fear truly China because of its expansionist policies, or simply because their skin is a different colour? It’s not like the USA is above tampering in foreign government and bugging electronics.

    I say go for it, Canada. If only because it’ll push Tesla off the scoreboard without the tariffs. They can’t compete.

      the skin, china has been making stuff that is cheaper than american/western sourced, and they dint like it, especially with the ev situation. granted chinas other tech not so much, because china rather industrially espionage in most cases, even thier “research” is scrutinized by peer review alot.

      also chinas expansion policies, they almost never follow through, or does it in a way its very slow moving.

      The only difference is that “China bad America Good” has shifted to “China bad, America also bad”. None of the issues people have with China have magically gone away.

        Exactly this. Why is this so hard for people to understand. China Russia the US and Israel can all be bad at once! Hating one doesn’t mean you have to side with the other!
