Nah. Politics and business/economics always go hand in hand. The reason why the Brits are this bold is that the Chinese also believe that the two are separate and haven’t went on the offensive and hit them hard economically.

Nope. That writer is an Indian who used this as their evidence:
The Russian President NBC’s, Keir Simmons, “Well even now, I believe that former U.S. president Mr. Trump is an extraordinary individual, talented individual, otherwise he would not have become U.S. president.” Putin used some adulatory adjectives for Trump like “extraordinary”, “talented” and “colorful”.
And made their following claim:
What Putin said must be understood in the larger context. He was endorsing Trump’s policy of treating China as the bigger threat and an outright US enemy. Trump was ready to cooperate with Russia and isolate China – a policy that Biden reversed after coming to power. The incumbent US President tends to look towards Russia as a US enemy while considering China as some sort of a competitor.
That is some 6D, brain glowing thinking right there.
Things are becoming clearer
1. Didi was repeatedly warned by Chinese regulators not to list in US. It still went ahead.
2. Under US regulatory law, data of Didi (Chinese citizens) wouldve be available to US investors (aka CIA)
3. Didi and for that matter companies like Alibaba, Tencent, JD host extremely critical data about Chinese citizens and are told to IPO in HK instead .
4. Another rumour suggests that Didi went ahead as Chinas new draft law over data would've made data collection more stringent and launching an IPO after this would've affected their IPO price.
All in all Didi wanted to earn money and expand globally while compromising on data of Chinese users. While the company will say that it stores all data in China, that's not the point. Question is about access which US would've gotten one way or the other.
Companies aren't punished for fun there's always a reason behind it. To think that Xi holds a grudge against a frigging Ride hailing app is laughable. (Some users made that assertion here)
I don’t think Putin was ever friendly to Trumpnsince some of the things that the USA has done under Trump have been very anti Russian and after 2-3 decades of this terrible treatment and the sanctions, yeah I suspected that it must be India’s attempt to cause problems. Really, as long as NATO is around, Russia will never join together with the USA beyond talking since the west has never given Russia a break
You do realize the source is "The Frustrated Indian" right?
Here is thier youtube channel. Quite entertaining.
That right there....
DJI got banned for far less...
TikTok was storing US user data in US data centers and it was still almost forced to sell to M$FT and Oracle on threat of global app delistment if it wasnt for the CPC stepping in at the last minute...all because of some pretext about US National Suckerity....
Can you imagine the US gov reaction if Uber had to send US citizen commute data to Chinese Huawei cloud, Alibaba or Chinese intel agencies as condition of being listed on Chinese exchange?
If anything the CPC hasnt crackdown hard enough... CPC should force Didi to delist or shutdown.. Country before profit... they were already warned
Recall back in May 2019 days after US put Huawei on entity list that SMIC did the right thing and voluntarily delisted from NYSE

So that was what that stood for. Welp another bullet dodged and yet another channel unsubscribed. I used to be a little ok with the channel but this one along with the source set of alarm bells and then you know the rest. I guess India screwed up real bad in joining with the west given how many of their neighbours do not like them for spreading the delta to their nations. I swear nations like India, Canada and Japan are getting more and more isolated nowadays, lots and lots of foreshadowing
Listing the IPO in the US does not mean didi's Chinese user data will be available to the US government. The Chinese government does not even allow the US to audit the finances of US listed Chinese companies. That was the reason why Trump wanted all US listed Chinese companies to comply with this requirement within three years, otherwise they will have to be delisted.
I think Trump was asking for a US "representative" to be installed with veto powers on all Chinese firms' board of directors that wanted to do any business or trade with any US firm...
