This is ridiculous.

China requires access to your company code and pretty much owns you.

The USA government is interfering as much as Europeans government do, by making stupid laws and demanding access when they can think of an excuse. Sure, it's bad but it's not as bad as China.

You can't trust any government, but some are better than others.

Indeed, gives me hope for decentralised technologies like gitcoin, that could perhaps give more agency to developers.

You must be kidding. There’s no way companies like Apple would ever handout iCloud source code to China.
