Are you talking about the US, specifically?

Why would other countries, that don't share the same anxiety about China as the US, would be troubled with the this?

		That's about the mobile apps specifically, and it is related to personal data of EU citizens being transferred to servers in China. It has nothing to do with running open models, especially in hardware within Europe.

		EU countries are homeshoring their digital stacks as fast as they possibly can, and the reason is precisely because of the pressure that the US government is exerting via its (temporary) dominance in technology.

		Those days are gone. Look no further than the occupant in the White House. IE the Swedish jet industry is about to get bigger, future drone expertise, if the Ukraine can hold on if you want to learn the ins and outs, you don’t need the United States. If you’re serious about learning and building drones. It’s going to be a different world, a world where many former allies are not gonna look to the United States first they can no longer afford to.
