On: Detained blogger revealed true picture of Chinese information warfare

That isn’t how Americans react. Chinese companies, malicious or otherwise, are going to face very significant hurdles expanding in the West.

I would like to think so but the reality is, Western companies and consumers just buy whatever's cheapest on the day.

Western companies, yes. Western governments... we'll see. The Trump administration is not going easy on the Chinese government, for one. We'll have to wait and see about the rest, or about how serious the Trump administration is about tending to Chinese issues (it appears to be mainly interested in trade imbalance).
