Yes.

What is China for Americans, for us Europeans, is the USA.

Some argue that it's even worse for Europeans because the Chinese military and government can't reach you while in the USA. And there is no safe place for Europeans from the US government, unless they move to China or Russia.

I think that it's a bit overblown.

But it's a problem when your biggest ally treats you like an ally, says you're living off him militarily and spies/hacks you non stop.

China is not a military threat to Europe, it's literally on the other part of the globe. It's only a threat to US geopolitical ambitions.

The US and most of Europe share a military alliance. The US and China are adversaries.

Oh come on. The US is in a military alliance with most of Europe. And hasn’t banned any European apps from operating. And has similar democratic and human rights policies.

As I understood your post: You said the US is worse because "Europeans" are willing to relocate to the US. And also that China is better because they are not likely to relocate to neither Russia nor China.

Is that correct?
