China also bans TikTok. That should tell you everything you need to know about whether they believe it is a positive influence.

China also has a firewall, are we going to do that too? I guess that is one day to become communist, just copy them tit for tat...

Let’s say you and I are adversaries. Or maybe just competitors. I invite you for a meal. But I won’t eat the meal myself. I only want you to eat it.

Do you think that’s going to be good for you?

Basically how I feel as a European with the US sitting on the other side of the table.

What does the US offer Europe that they don’t use themselves?

Why is the only solution to continue the competition rather than engage in mutual cooperation?
