    I wont go into the fact that China blocks foreign services or their theft of IP. Other commenters have covered these point already.

    China (or rather the CCP) is an adversarial and imperialistic state that seeks to gain influence over other nations through various means, including espionage and PSYOPs. I’m not saying other nations don’t do that, but it is what it is.

    It is in our best interest to mitigate the harm done by this adversary through any practical means. Of course this upsets the Chinese government, but that’s expected, and may be a sign that we are on the right track.
