It should be studied how we reached a point where we trust more a Chinese company, that's well know for being state controlled, vs an American company because it seems they could do worse. Still no idea what "worse" it could do because we've reached the threshold where plague and cholera are intertwined and every possible outcome seems abusive.

Perhaps people are deciding that the impact a nefarious foreign government can have on them is less of a risk than their own government acting the same way. So Chinese should feel safer interacting with American companies and Americans safer interacting with Chinese companies.

That's probably bullshit.

Could also just be yet another wave of information warfare. I'm like 87.9% sure that bad actors explains nearly every aspect of this awful timeline we are on.
