For all my harsh criticism of both Microsoft and Google I wish them well: I want them to tidy up and become trustworthy.

Because the alternative where China becomes world leading is actually worse.

For all their warts Americans and American companies have done much good and gotten way more criticism for their faults compared to others.

That doesn't however mean that they should get off the hook easily, only that we should work to put them in an position were we can actually trust each other.
