I think the election has given us some breathing room on a number of fronts.
Hopefully it won't be squandered.

 Wow, this is fascinating! China seems to be proposing a major overhaul of the internet, with more control for governments. It's interesting to see a tech giant like Huawei leading the charge. I wonder what the implications would be for individual freedoms and the open nature of the web we're used to.
If the US adopts a CBDC, the implications are clear. The populace of the US will be subject to having all their economic activity regulated (without recourse) by the federal government. If only that pesky "2A" wasn't there - otherwise, it'd already have happened.
Do you think the CBDC will come sooner than later, spotty?

I have a theory on how it can happen ... and I'm a BTCer.

It's scary looking at how things are recently developing on the Internet. Not only so many people are using TikTok doing stupid stuff or dances, but also sharing their private data. The biggest issue nobody is practically mentioning is Tencent growing at a huge scale. They keep taking over smaller companies and will be soon a behemoth.

 This is one of many reasons why the Chinese companies and goverment cannot be trusted. They keep gathering information about us and stealing personal information. They know as much as our goverments, but in this case they are not our goverment. We haven't agreed to give away our key information to them. We have to be careufl about them.
Avoid TikTok. It mines your cellphone for info.

The entire purpose of the internet is that each node has power over the others. So, as someone who enjoys servers and IT, I'll never surrender over my data to the government for a Nation state system.
Furthermore, all of this will accomplish is push more people into the decentralized approach, which will have the opposite impact.

I haven't heard anything more about it, but I haven't looked either. I would suspect that given (1) people are starting to distrust Chinese electronics and (2) it's been pretty slow for the world to adopt IPV6 that it will be a very long time before their stuff is adopted if at all. But it does show the direction they want to go. If they do become as dominant or more than the U.S. then they will start to do this so they can monitor everything.
