"Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering." - Yoda
Fear of communism lead the U.S. into the Vietnam war, where 58,200 young Americans died, along with over 1 million N.Vietnamese soldiers, 250 ,000 S. Vietnamese soldiers and over 2 million civilians on both sides. The war had ended by 1975 with American forces going home and Vietnamese forces winning the country. 20 years later, the U.S. resumed diplomatic and economic relations with Vietnam. 45 years later, there are now fewer communist countries in the world than in 1975. The fear of communism spreading, the "domino effect" was wrong. What should this history teach us?
"Together we must learn how to compose differences, not with arms, but with intellect and decent purpose."
Dwight D. Eisenhower - a very smart man.
I agree, and so does the CCP, China doesn't want a hot war, they are doing it by economic control, political influence and subterfuge (hacking). They do forcefully control their own citizens however.

"As a tech guy, I've been vocal and adamant that these systems are ripe for hacking and corruption. But, hey, who am I? People who have never coded in their life nor designed a network are explaining to me how it is...I just shake my head. I designed networks for the Fed. Gov and sold tempested computers years ago... wtf do I know?"
Been there and still do it for a living.
Was around for the first Posix complient Windows 3.11 system, was "certified secure".
As long as you did not break the case seals or install a network card....
Any system that is interconnected or any system you can gain physical control over can be hacked, some are just easier than others.
