Is there a guide you'd recommend following?

US is in a state of slow implosion. Rest of the world needs to look at collaborating while excluding the US.

My guess is China will fill the void left by the disintegration of USAID in order to boost its global standing.

I strongly encourage all nations to begin violating US intellectual property rights. Nations like India already do so with pharmaceuticals.

Eventually other nations will need to take on the mantle of tech and pharmaceutical research and development and we don't want to live in a world where all this progress is lost.

Americans have chosen to nuke their own democracy and we need to minimize the damage done to the rest of the world as much as possible.

This might be too complicated for the average consumer at CVS, which tends to skew towards an older demographic.

Colonialism is essentially theft with a pretty red ribbon on top to make it look good so we can all unequivocally say fuck colonialism.

But my point is beyond that. It's that the progress that's been achieved through those ideas you're celebrating was predicated on theft from and suffering of people in developing countries. In a sense those in developing countries have an ownership stake in Western industrialization and China is the first previously developing nation that's coming to take back what is, in part, theirs. The West needs to come to terms with the fact that they won't be the last to do so.

It seems to consistently throw a WebAssembly is not defined error.

'Investment' is a nice way to put it. A more apt description would be that the developing world invested in the West's industrialization (or the West stole it, whatever floats your boat) and the Western world chose to give essentially nothing back to its investors, directly contradicting the new capitalist world it had created.

Which is why many in the developing world feel that China's rise to prominence is the West's chickens coming home to roost.

A Kenyan official once said: 'When China visits we get a hospital. When Britain visits we get a lecture'

Since it's open source is there a way for companies to adjust so it doesn't intentionally avoid saying anything bad about China?

It's hard to beat a network with an already established user base (Meta, Google)

Not sure how this is feasible unless you're certain your audience is going to use a VPN too. Seems like a risky way to lose views ie. your revenue stream.
