Yeah its got that “Only I can bully my sibling” vibe

I mean, yeah, but both are bad. If the US government wants to stop China from spying, that's good. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

Shouldn't we let the RESTRICT act be the enemy of good?

That's naive beyond belief. The US government doesn't want to stop China from spying, it wants to make sure that it does all the spying. And given that US has far more influence on the west than China, that's a much worse situation to be in.

Nah, just stating plain facts. I guess empire shills like you are upset by that. Sad.
