    China can’t buy data from US companies. That’s illegal. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

      Not yet. There was an executive order to ban selling data to “enemies” that would include China but it hasn’t been implemented.

      Also I’m highly skeptical it’ll work. China can just work through proxies and not buy directly.
