The politicians are feeding fears to American public one way or another, I do feel that it is quite effective now. Talking about censorship, I do see technology will play a bigger role in the future. Now Trump is officially banned on multiple platforms. The genie is out of the bottle now. Unless we have a solution to current problem, I am positive censorship will be common in the future.

I can see China may export influence, and will certainly threat Taiwan. That's probably a given. I recommend people read about the history of China to understand why I am so certain about it.
