U.S. To Seek Social Media Details from All Visa Applicants

I agree, this is very obviously a policy area where the US should be leading (or at least not setting new negative standards).

It's curious though, as the popular thing to claim today is that China is obviously the future. They're going to supposedly dominate everything, from AI to robotics to insert-tech-thing-here.

Article after article proclaimed that China would take advantage of Trump's immigration policies to do a massive global talent grab.

So what happened to that fraudulent premise? There are almost zero human rights in China. The few they had acquired, have increasingly been stripped back away.

So this social media grab is a massive problem for the US. Having zero rights in China means they're going to acquire all the world's talent and dominate the universe. Something certainly doesn't make sense in the storyline.

And when the capitalists, (elite, the 1%) see how good the cpc has it, that they can milk everyone else, they will try the same here. I call for economic and miltary containment of China.
