Everything is fair in love & war, eh?
China has banned US Tech MNCs like Facebook, Google, Instagram, Twitter, Wikipedia, Dropbox, Netflix ....time for it to get a taste of its own medicine.
I was planning to ignore this post, reply it through ridicule. After a little thougt, I decide to make a serious argument. I have been here too long, I wish some fruitful and constructive discussion could happen between us despite all differences.
I am not suprised by your argument, because I have seen exactly the same argument right after the Trump administration issued the huawei ban, except that argument was made by an American commentator from NBC. I will share the link here if I find it later.
Then it makes me wonder why it's happening that Indian netizen would reach the same conclusion with an American commentator. America is part of the trade war, to be more specific they started it, it's natural they will do everything to legitimate it from their perspective. But you are from a third party, if you look at what is happening in a objective way, it's wouldn't be hard to find loopholes in that argument, it's even more grotesque for you reach that argument on your own.
It's true that China bans these American companies except Google which chose to pull out of China by its own decision, but China never attempts to stop other countries from doing business with them. You may argue that China doesn't do that simply because China is not that influential, but the fact is China doesn't even stop Chinese companies from doing businesses with them. It's a drastic contrast to America's relentless efforts to strangle Huawei. That is a huge difference you have overlooked.
Why would you people fail to see the obvious? Is it that animosity toward China blinded your eyes? I think that is part of the reason. Another important reason is that America has successfully indoctrinate you think from American perspective, which significantly undermines your ability to think on your own. And America accomplished that by promoting their ideology through Hollywood movies, so called free media and companies like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube globally.
I have to admit that the ban of Facebooks( by plural I am referring to companies like that) is not a fair practice, but that is China's only choice since we are in a disadvantage position, build a wall is the only option.
Facebooks are no pure profit hunting enterprises by their nature, companies like Facebook, Twitter and Netflix etc that generate and distribute information are powerful weapons of American government, it has been proved that American government has used their weapons effectively. Just imagine that if Facebook was a non American company while every American was wired to Facebook, do you think America would let that to happen.
That argument of you is a vivid testimony to America's soft but powerful invasion of India. I suggest India to learn from China, take some measures to curb the infltration of Facebooks into your society, don't be fooled by America's posturing of freedom of trade or freedom of information. America wants absolute freedom of information because all the tools that carry information, either software or hardware are owned by America, hence the flow of information is their hands.
