Trudeau government bans TikTok from operating in Canada

What data does china allow American and Canadian companies to collect and sell regarding Chinese citizens?

The citizens should be making that choice, not the government. You speak of them like serfs.

If it walks like a duck

China is a communist country, the US and Canada are liberal economies and benefit a lot from that. Should the US and Canada be allowed to behave like that, why would Europe, Asia and other countries of the Americas still allow US Big Tech to do as they please?

> why would Europe, Asia and other countries of the Americas still allow US Big Tech

Well I guess if they want access to what those tech companies offer, then that is why.

But maybe they don't want access to the benefits of US tech companies. Thats understandable.

Just like I am perfectly fine with us not getting the "benefits" of tiktok.

The problem is solved in my book if there is a decoupling of these tech industries. Personally, I think the US tech industry is better and will provide the most benefits. But if other countries don't want that, thats fine by me as well.

I wish you were the president then, nobody in the white house agree with you

China hasn't been communist since Deng Xiaoping. It's not liberal, though, it's a tightly controlled economy.
