alt Hacker Newsthats exactly why a lot of people in europe or america trust china more. enemy governments have zero direct power over you and they dont really want to work together with your government. they cant hurt you, only the country you live in.
and with the snowden leaks, epstein files, ICE raids, rising fascism in europe, chat control, genocidal wars in ukraine and palestine, there is no reason to support your country anymore.
Ah yes, just as there’s famously no such thing as Russian hackers (for example) given effectively total impunity to scam, defraud, blackmail, etc any company, so long as it’s not located in Russia. No direct harm! Oh wait…
The thing about your own country, especially the more democratic it is, is that there are brakes in the system. A lot of the control mechanisms are indirect, and thus slow and occasionally prone to failure, but the people do have the ultimate say. What you’re doing is looking at failures of the braking system and concluding that brakes don’t even exist! Faulty logic in the extreme.
