    Hahahahahaha brother hold up.

    Who influenced the brexit vote? Hint: it wasn’t China.

    Who is influencing the Alberta separatist movement? Not China.

    Who was also accused of interfering in the latest Québec provincial elections? Not China.

    What is the #1 source of information for most of the people in the western hemisphere? American social media platforms. Also the biggest news networks are owned by Americans. Streaming platforms? Americans.

    Americans got their noses in everybody’s business. They’re influencing and interfering in elections left and right through these platforms, shady deals, and tarifs.

    Now, I’m not saying China isn’t involved in some interference. Because they are. But their influence is nothing compared to the U.S.

      The US barely plans 4 years into the future, China plans 40 years at a minimum.

      You are focusing on the squirrel in your garden when there is a bear watching from the end of the driveway.

        Oh, no doubt.

        But I don’t think they’re weaponizing EVs to the extent you’re suggesting. Cybersec experts will be all over that shit and their business here would be shut down. It would break trust and cut off an important chunk of revenue.
