> You think they’re going to be friendlier to American citizens?

Yes, because American citizens are none of their business. Law enforcement and prosecution on the other hand is very interested.

hm.. China backs their multinational corporations into competing with other businesses globally. For example TikTok or all the construction firms that compete in Africa, Asia, etc.

Now let's imagine I am an American citizen/businessman competing with a Chinese businessman. I have a better product, better networks. Let's also imagine the scenario where the Chinese govt has more power and dominance than anybody else in the world. Do you still think an American citizen is none of their business?

How about if an American citizen happens to write an article criticizing Chinese govt? What would happen in the above scenario?

...but US corporations are their business?

China, and the US for that matter, will generally do what they think they can get away with to further their interests. Regardless of a bunch of imaginary lines drawn on a map.
