>The USA and China are powerful trading partners. If one of them says, "ban crypto," the smaller country is likely to comply.

Ah because they've agreed on so many things in the past.

I think you misunderstood my statement.

What I mean is the USA and China force their laws on smaller trading partners. When the USA tells Vietnam that they need to pass certain IP laws as terms of a trade deal, VN passes those laws.

To a degree, this also happens with larger partners, such as Germany, but it's really noticeable with the smaller ones.
