Like 95% of the planet, I'm not American. Like 82% of the planet, I'm not Chinese.

BYD being better than Tesla isn't a matter of patriotism in most of the world. DeepSeek and Baidu can spend as long as they want playing musical chairs/rap battles with Anthropic and OpenAI, it makes no odds to me which wins.

America and China both have politics that have no reason to care for people like me, nor people like my friends, that they are for different reasons and differ in penalties for being an out-group doesn't matter when I'm a foreigner to both, when my antecedent are who the 13 Colonies rebelled against and more recent antecedent forced unwanted opium sales on China.
