Maybe for US citizens, but not so much for everyone else since 2001, hence why the EU effectively banned US companies in 2015 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Schrems#Schrems_I (China/TikTok is even worse of course.)

Yes, Huawei owns much more our telecoms than Cisco, and I also expect the US to align more with my values than China :

Are you sure it aligns with your values, considering the stark rise in Christian Fascism within its political environment?

It's just a taste of our own medicine. We sit here in the imperial core and expect that nothing we do globally will ever come back to haunt us (except it has and likely will again). We think that exporting our ideas and culture is good for the world, but that's just as unlikely to be true for us, just as it is for China.

I'm sure the us would love an EU/UK with private health care and weaker unions and labor laws.
