So you’d prefer we send access to China? The comment above was pointing out that we blocked the acquisition that would have kept it in the country.

What exactly can the Chinese government do to hurt you in your own home in America?

Now think about what the American government can do to you.

Maybe instead of ad-hoc fear-driven interventions in the market when Chinese companies do too well (TikTok), US should have some general data protection laws, and not allow making surveillance devices that are locked-down and serve their corporate overlords?

Amazon isn't on your side. They would have sold this access to China if they could make a buck on it.
