I wish EU could resist big tech international finance with the same strength. But corruption may let it happen anyway, with a bit more covolution and internationalization.

Manus started in China, and China is doing this even though they moved their operations to Singapore. This sounds like a message to Chinese founders not to build their companies in China.

Please explain how China has any power to block this ? Company is in Singapore. Do what ? CCP to kidnap founders family members still in China, which would not surprise me.
