An Open Letter to President Xi Jinping of China

From: a typical American

Hey Xi, how’s it hangin? Can I call you Xi? We’ve never met, but I’m just as American as anyone else in America, and I assume you already have your opinion of what we’re like over here.

BTW, I’ll skip this whole *Pandemic unpleasantness* for now. I’m sure that will come up later through one investigation or another. Right now it’s all he said Xi said.

(Sorry).

So things have gotten a little tense with Mr. Trump, eh? Well, he’s not as easygoing as some of our other politicians. Surely you can appreciate this grand Chess game — being one of the players hoping to win, right?

About Huawei — listen, you have to look at it from our perspective. We already have valid reasons not to trust China — as long as the CCP is in power (which will change soon enough) — but surely it would be foolish for *any* country to build a huge part of it’s next-generation infrastructure using hardware from a Communist country, which could potentially have backdoors in it. We know you don’t really care about TikTok so much as you do testing facial recognition, and we know you don’t care about the average internet user’s web history either. We both know it goes well beyond that.
