If we banned all Chinese business with America, America would hurt a lot more than China. Our plutocracy made sure of that fact decades ago.

I care becsuse I hate hypocrisy. Simple as that. They'll sweep Russian activity under the rug as long as it's done in an American website. This mindset clearly isn't results oriented.

Where were you for the last 10+ years when China was blocking all social media from the US but the US wasn’t blocking it? Or does hypocrisy just apply to the USA? It seems like you have some kind of agenda unrelated to the pure concept of hypocrisy.

Slippery slope fallacy. We aren’t banning all chinese companies just like they haven’t banned all US companies
