    Anti communist? With everything else we buy from China, this is the tipping point to be anti-communist? How about all the US social media platforms that China won’t let in? Is that “anti-capitalist?”

      socialism has always been anti capitalism. socialism is based on principles like international revolution and a highly configured economic structures whereas capitalism is extraction of capital which western countries have been doing in china as much as china will allow but this isn’t what i am arguing.

      something to keep in mind is that we don’t buy tiktok, similarly to meta and alphabet (google).

      brief easy to read history of cold war activity.

      Cuba and North Korea (the forgotten war) are both good to look in to. i hope the history can bring context to my previous statement as geopolitics is never as it seems.

        While I appreciate the additional info, that really doesn’t add to the conversation about what the tipping point is for the parent comment.
