Nations might. Some of their leaders might not...
Justin Trudeau, then running for the leadership of his party in 2013, was given a lob-ball question from a supporter at a “Ladies Night” meet-and-greet in Toronto: “Which nation, besides Canada, which nation’s administration do you most admire, and why?”
The future prime minister’s odd answer: “You know, there’s a level of admiration I actually have for China ….”
China? Why China?
“Because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime and say ‘we need to go green fastest…we need to start investing in solar.'”
NOTEBOOK: Asked what country he most admires, Trudeau’s answer is no longer China - National | Globalnews.ca
It’s useful to remember that, back then, he was the front-runner in a race to be the leader of the third party in Parliament. The NDP was the Official Opposition. Stephen Harper’s Conservatives were the government.

I agree, but it's going to take some real leadership and a commitment to BOTH doing the right things AND to doing things right. I'm not sure that the US Gov't, as currently constituted and led, is well equipped to do that. I thought that the last US administration was, to be charitable, gawd awful, but I'm afraid that this one is little better.
The divisions in America ~ social, political and cultural ~ are deep and getting deeper and that makes it difficult for a fundamentally decent man with a solid foreign policy record, and Joe Biden scores well on both counts, to make the right choices and to execute policies well.
The rest of the world ~ Australia being, perhaps, a notable exception because it lives in a rough neighbourhood far, far away from the policeman ~ isn't prepared to lead, either. Japan? Germany? France? Britain? India? South Korea? Would anyone follow any of them?
The West needs America but, first, America needs to heal itself.

Leaked documents suggest Huawei has been using its tech to help the Chinese government since 2016 to identify people using its surveillance systems.
Gee sounds like a lovely group we want to have access to our industry.

O’Toole & Coy need just as big a boot to their asses as does Team Red.
And I think we would all mostly agree, if they were allowed to build/manage our 5G networks, they would be identifying people and collecting metadata over here as well.
Post something online about China, while at a coffee shop or even in a text? May come back to haunt you one day…

Chinese spies have penetrated Taiwan’s military, case documents reveal
Taiwan’s spycatchers are battling a sustained Chinese espionage campaign. Even the security detail of President Tsai Ing-wen has been compromised.
I think we all knew that Chinese operatives would be well-embedded in Taiwan’s armed forces for quite some time now.Chinese spies have penetrated Taiwan’s military, case documents reveal

But for her own protection detail to have snakes in the grass?
China truly is a type of adversary we haven’t seen the likes of before.

I would guess that the same is true in reverse: I suspect that there are some admirals and generals and senior officials in the Chinese military and security apparatus who are on Taiwan's payroll. The difference might be that we don't hear about it when they are caught or someone is running a very good double-cross game.

No national security grounds, in allowing a Chinese company to own and operate a major port?
In a country that has to import nearly everything it needs… pretty sure the country that is constantly making open threats, undertaking adversarial political moves, overtly undermining their democracy, etc - should not be owning or in charge of a major port.
