> China is a huge country, and excluding a billion people from your company just because their government does questionable things sounds like a pretty bad idea.

People have to do what the state they live in and belong to orders them to do. That's part of the point of having a state. So if you can't trust a state you can't trust its people either.

> you are really concerned about the confidentiality of your data, don't store it unencrypted in some SaaS

I don't think dissolving the company is on the table.

Zing! Solid line but it misses the point. As with any other data, you can encrypt source code. It's perfectly easy to envision a setup where Gitlab employees in country X can only see plaintext Gitlab data they could already see over the public internet.

So, I could say that American is sucks if I think Trump is sucks?

That is ridiculous. The first is that 'state is unauthentic' is a subjective speculation. And the most funny is that the conclusion 'people is unauthentic' is came from your first thought.

I can not say American is terrorist if Hillary wanna burn other country. Am I right?

If your world view is based on separating entities into good and bad, nuanced statements will appear ridiculous.
