People in US centric forums like HN, Reddit, Slashdot, etc just cannot understand or see it, and it&amp;#x27;s OK; it is their country and their ideals. They are allowed to unequivocally take their country side.&lt;p&gt;But for uninterested 3rd parties, it&amp;#x27;s quite entertaining the bitchslap games that China and the US play with these sort of policies (Google ban, tiktok ban, etc).</text></comment>

With China it&amp;#x27;s a different story - they can operate in our market but we can&amp;#x27;t operate in theirs.</text></comment>
