China and the US are starting a world-wide competition for which will control digital technology and networks.

What is the role of human beings in this competition? We are supposed to be prey — the little bits of "land" that they will compete to dominate, monitor, and control.

Therefore, the battle that matters for us is between the tech companies of the two superpowers, and people.

We, the people, need to defeat both of those competing "sides" that aim to control us.
