Well, you just need to read between the lines there.

uncertainty over China's economic trajectory

Read: uncertainty over ability to continue exploiting labors using your accumulated surplus

geopolitical tensions...

Read: closing window of opportunities to freely move your accumulated surplus elsewhere

This is just like those immigrated nobles running from liberal revolutions in the past.

Most people I know who use Linux wouldn't trust Cloud services cause that's just storing your stuff on somebody else machine. You can self hosted service like Next cloud on a raspberry pi or just get comfortable with networking enough to setup VPN and ssh into your home computer from the net to get your stuff.

no, the desired outcome for the West is another hundred year of humiliation for China where they can carve the country up, region by region, and freely looting Chinese wealth while waxing poetically about the white man burden. The Chinese fighting back is entirely inconceivable.

with how contentious Red Hat and Canonical decisions have been lately, the mid panel should have Arch and Debian replacing Ubuntu and Fedora.
