Well to be fair, American companies did that too. They expand their services internationally "for free" and then get other countries hooked on it.

China is just taking a page from that playbook.

    No, China skipped all that bullshit and just said "Well what if we open source this and it's good or better than all the US companies?". Well those companies will wither and die. The transfer of money is a bailout for those companies. I assume Musk plotted this out.
