Im just kidding, both Mikes are super smart. Mike Brock has vast knowledge and has gone through many cycles of diff ideologies and brings various interesting perspectives to the table.

I’m remaining an intermission and noise! :) In comparison US is a much fairer and liberal country no doubt. China started with tech adoption by piracy, reverse engineering tech (90’s , early 2000) similar to how Japan was in the 50s with piracy and then stepping up to the manufacturing game. Japan tackled the US market for example by sending Toyota team to the US to learn how US lifestyle and big cars work before creating Lexus and penetrating to the US market. But Japan and US formed close ties so US still lead. China market penetration in US has been different mostly through globalisation talking over workforce manufacturing and investing in large US businesses. And US has no control on this relationship. And it’s hard to beat a super low cost, easy logistics. I think Nostr and even apps like Tik Tok globalises the Chinese people more and gets them to mingle more with the world on a friendly, lifestyle basis and that’s gonna make a difference in liberating the Chinese people - it’s their Trojan horse.
