Okay. What does that have to do with the Huawei ban? And do you think the US doesn't spy on other people (along with its own citizens)? The Huawei ban is completely unreasonable IMO.

They don't have the money to do that, not without printing currency and massively devaluing your currency. But I guess they could but it would have the intended effect I'd want it to have. Oh and I don't just mean US government debt, I mean all US debt.
 
Placing sanctions on a private Chinese company to protect US global trade and technology supremacy is not finally doing it's job either. That's being petty and causing global instability. Like I said before, if you want to make a mess keep in your back yard. Governments preventing private companies from working with each other over things not proven is disgraceful political interfering.

I don't get why it's a big deal when China (allegedly) does it. Snowden revelations were met with shoulder shrugging internationally. At this point, getting spied on comes with owning any device that can connect to the Internet and was made after 2010 or so. It's baked directly into the CPUs. No one seems to care. Before Snowden people at least put the effort in to tell you that you're a conspiracy nutjob, but these days it's just generally apathy and eyes rolling. The kind of reaction you get from telling fat people to eat healthy.
