No worries! Of course governments, well especially EU, Australia, China, ... would NEVER let foreign companies take over their entire online marketplace (and a host of other things like ERP). So of course they have working well-funded local copies of Google, Amazon, Facebook, Tiktok, Salesforce, ... developed locally ready to go to secure their economy! Plus, of course, the internet infrastructure underpinning them.

Otherwise those countries would be SO fucked! So you can rest assured that their governments have worked tirelessly to prevent that from happening.

I think I'm going to dream of riding flying pink chocolate unicorns tonight.

Most countries have lacked the capability to manufacture basic infrastructure for ages. It may look scary to you now, but it has been looking scary for decades to some.

Face it, we depend on a global economy. Every now and then something changes, and we adapt.

The only reason the US can build infrastructure is because we can print our own money.

		And that begs the question, why can we print our own money and others can't? Which leads to conclusions that there are other factors that lead to us being able to do things others can't do.
