Buddy, that’s literally what US state department claims on their official website:

The United States approach to Taiwan has remained consistent across decades and administrations. The United States has a longstanding one China policy, which is guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the three U.S.-China Joint Communiques, and the Six Assurances.

The rhetoric that both political parties use is intentionally polarizing because they have no intention of actually solving the underlying problems. The mainstream is split across political lines, with democrats and republicans blaming the other side for all the ills in the country.

Most people in US lack the political or economic education to understand what’s happening leading to public lashing out in random and irrational ways. People understand that they’re being hurt, but they don’t understand who is responsible or why it’s happening. This creates a political climate that’s ripe for opportunists like Trump and Biden to game leading to further deterioration of living conditions. The country ends up in a worse state after each successive election cycle, and the sectarian tensions continue to become more prominent. Violent outbreaks are starting to happen already, and I expect these will only get worse going forward.

The itself app isn’t typically the issue. It’s the remote server that the appliance and the app connect to that’s the problem. What happens is that the appliance uses your wifi to talk to the company server, and that server pushes updates to it, does tracking, and so on. As long as the appliance can’t connect to the internet there’s no danger from it. Typically, the best approach is to avoid configuring the connection in the first place.

As the other reply mentions, aside from these devices representing a security vulnerability, there have been numerous cases where the devices themselves got hijacked. In some cases they can even get bricked via updates. There’s also a privacy concern with these companies collecting data on how you use the device.

Why do people in the west have the need to keep pretending that communism doesn’t work at scale when there’s plenty of evidence that it does?

Software development here. Never, ever, connect your appliances to the internet, and check whether appliances you buy have an offline mode as some are now aggressively forcing users to connect in order to use them.

Right, the first generations likely won’t have a huge advantage over silicon, but it’s the growth potential that’s key. We’re basically hitting the limits of what you can do on the current substrate. There’s really nowhere left to go past 1nm chips.
