This is a terrific article. It’s well researched and cuts through the chaff Big Tech monopolies spew to obscure their propaganda. I especially enjoyed this part:

“Although these large technology companies may not be full state-owned, China’s socialist government ensures that they act in the interest of the country and the people, not simply wealthy shareholders.

The US system is exactly the opposite. Large corporations control the government, and create policy on behalf of wealthy shareholders.”

Yep, the part you highlighted there is super spot on. Crazy to see the various fashions tech corps will implement to become embedded in governments. But seems as if China's approach is more reasonable than the US approach.
