Ahh so im talking to a Vulcan and I’m not allowed to go on my creative writting tangent.

You can go on all the tangents you want, but don't expect no one to correct your factual inaccuracies unless you specifically label it as fiction. Are your statements fictional entertainment?

dont care in classifying which one is “worse”

You literally just did that in your previous reply...

In my mind that’s much worse than a invisible threat that isn’t even allowed to operate here yet

It's not at all invisible. China is notorious for digital attacks on all kinds of US infrastructure. Along with Russia and North Korea. Basically most powerful authoritarian nations.

They aren't allowed to operate here due to the potential threats that I mentioned.

They have the same fears of our tech too, Tesla isnt allowed to have their vehicles in many parts of China due to all its cameras and pings back to the US. All of our software surpremacy is just one super backdoor to the worlds information. Every other country desperately wants to stop that, besides our 5 eyes allies and Israel.

And sure I did classify what was worse but maybe my wording was a little bad and I'm failing to get my message across. All are bad, we are both pretty much evil countries that abuse human rights. One being forgien, and one being local doesnt change that.

What changes is one is directly effecting me and ruling over me. That aspect of it is worse.

Which makes sense, because the exact same concept applies: local vs. foreign

One being forgien, and one being local doesnt change that.

It absolutely does, from the perspective of the government, who makes the laws.

Well I am failing to understand where I am not breaking through with you and feel like you keep getting caught up on small symantics that act more as gatch'yas more than anything. I typed up a response but after re-reading our messages I kind of just repeat myself, and I don't think either of us are going to really move forward.

Any other questions, concerns or points you would like to make?
