The China-centric video sharing platform is expanding with a new international app and an English version of its website -- with no identity verification (for now at least)

I'd rather it go to the Chinese government since they're not the ones actively lording over me.

    Right. Except you can't influence the Chinese government. Whereas you can, if you are American, influence the American government (through elections, say). And the American government can, in turn, possibly influence the tech companies. And they do. See: the antitrust enforcement in the Biden administration.

    As an American, I can't say I'd be terribly enthused about using a YouTube competitor based in a foreign country. And China is quite foreign to us as far as countries go. And I use YouTube constantly.
