China doesn't even have to believe that more domestic datacenters is a good bet for the US. Any in fighting and division directly benefits them. I mean they wrote an entire book on this over 1.5 milenia ago.

Russia and China are very well known to use firehose of falsehoods campaigns. it worked so well for them for creating trump, brexit etc - why would they stop now?

The issue here is people being dumb enough to believe there's some intent and try to extrapolate some sort of real reality from that when it's literally just spam.

China doing what China does. I'm not playing this game with you. It's dumb in this era, knowing we knew to act like this stuff isn't happening. You're ignorance is your problem.

Ironic that you call me ignorant when my comment mostly agrees with you. Maybe go touch some grass.
