    I mean, I’m not sure what China expects the US to do with a company whose very existence and arguably their success in the market is due to corporate espionage. China can reframe and project all they want, but they will always have someone keeping tabs on the cookie jar and they only have themselves to blame.

      The entire US is built on corporate espionage of British secrets.

      Corporate espionage is literally the way countries progress when disadvantaged. That doesn’t mean that the less developed country can’t criticize the more developed country for corporate espionage.

            Not really, since it is also a legitimate explanation for why people are always trying to hack Huawei. Whataboutism is when the argument has nothing to do with explaining why it happens and is only used to distract from the issue at hand.

          Buddy might want to look at the original comment. Is it only whataboutism if it’s against white people? Sounds racist to me idk
