I'll bite, in which a way is china a hostile nation? They do not operate anywhere near as hostile as the US has with the CIA or our industrial war complex. You are buying into state department propaganda. Honestly this move seems to be more about using the state apparatus to remove foreign competition in the tech space and to consolidate it into our in house monopolies. Notice how this is now a discussion of selling assets. I wish they were being honest but hey these are the same people who lied about nukes in Iraq.

Reddit is a US nationalist platform. It doesn't matter if foreigners are hurt and the US government should always have a monopoly of power over everything, including its citizens. It's horseshoe theory with Chinese uber nationalists and Reddit being the same people.

You are kidding me, right?

No, please enlighten me. Is China flaunting war ships and planes around the gulf of Mexico to check the power balance of our own Monroe Doctrine? Is china doubling their military budget right now and creating pacts with our surrounding countries to curtail our own presence in our own waters? The only way that I see them as opposition is that they don't play by the rules that our capitalist oligarchs want, and they are actively capturing the world market with their economic philosophy that opposes our own. They have not shown to be a militaristic nor hostile nation(US calling the kettle black). They are just market competition that we want to snuff out.
