GOP lawmakers, tech investors, and even OpenAI have tied the anti-data-center movement in the US to Chinese interference. Experts say it’s much more complicated than that.
Look mate, the average American is a Racist, even the Liberals who think being Prejudiced about those they see as belonging to <identity> with a “positive” spin is being anti-Racist rather than yet another variant of “they’re all the same” thinking, hence the muppeters who pull the strings of these people use “blame foreigners” arguments to deflect away the blame for the problems caused by the American Power Elites (mainly the billionaires and their political minions)
“Immigrants” are blamed by the openly Fascist Far-Right (Republicans)
“Foreign interference” from those the American politicians call “adversaries”, such as Russia or China (never Israel) is blamed by the pro-Oligarchy fine-with-Fascism-abroad Hard-Right (Democrats)
So obviously when the Public Opinion in America naturally turned against Data Centers because of the ton of problems they bring with no real gains for the common people to offset it - all this against the actions of the bought and paid for politicians in favor of the handful of fatcats who do benefit from said Data Centers - the politicians’ knee-jerk reaction was to blame foreigners, because blaming foreigners works spectacularly well with most of the American public, both the Far-Right ones and the muppets who think they’re left-of-center whilst in fact being cheerleaders for Oligarchs and pro-Oligarchy policies.
As it always turns out, just like the “problems” caused by immigrants the impact of “foreign interference” is not even in the same universe of fucking things up in America than the shit that the 100% American “elites” and their 100% American bought and paid for political minions do.
Even when those foreign “adversaries” are activelly trying to negativelly impact America, the impact of their actions is like that of a flea on an elephant compared by what the Americans with the most power do. I would even say that given how things are going in the US the best thing that an adversary nation of America can do in America to fuck it up right now is NOTHING AT ALL as Americans seem to be going full throttle at fucking things up themselves.
