    Good for them. I still don’t want their equipment in our telecom networks but that’s not a concern for their domestic usage. If anything, it’s probably better for China to use Chinese equipment. Less Chinese money going out of reach into foreign billionaire pockets.

      I don’t like the great divide. We get almost no Chinese culture, and it just feels like both nation states are trying to cultivate a West V East narrative for ideological control purposes…

        Unless both peoples buy wholeheartedly into nations without borders, this ain’t happening. Unfortunately this could only happen sustainably if it happens on the basis of the working classes realizing their commonality and closeness. If it happens on the basis of free trade, the capitalist class will exploit the arbitrage opportunities between the two countries’ working classes while turning those classes against each other, so they don’t notice they’re being co-exploited.
