I'd prefer neither nation ban companies they don't like but I only have a voice in one.

If we banned all Chinese business with America, America would hurt a lot more than China. Our plutocracy made sure of that fact decades ago.

I care becsuse I hate hypocrisy. Simple as that. They'll sweep Russian activity under the rug as long as it's done in an American website. This mindset clearly isn't results oriented.

Why do you care if your car gets stolen when people in China get their cars stolen every day? Well because they are taking something away from me

Because we're looking at the Big Picture and seeing how they're figuring out how to dismantle our First Amendment rights.
