Qwant is owned by Huawei. Leaving Trumplandia for Xi…

Can you back that claim up at all? Qwant is not owned by Huawei. They don't even hold shares as far as I can tell.

8 million convertible bounds in a company that hasn’t turned a profit. Sure no risk at all.

This is a weird line in the sand. Instead of focusing on where something is build, shouldnywe focus on technical details and software licenses?
For example, Signal is based in the US, but the app is structured in such a way that they have minimal information: just the creation time and last login, associated with a phone number. That has even been tried in court, and that's literally all they could provide. Telegram is worse technically speaking, but it's headquartered outside the US.
Don't evaluate software based on where it's developed, evaluate it based on what is does and can do in the future.
