In all, we checked more than 110,000 address-provider combinations using the FCC Form 477 data as the “source of truth”. > "This study confirms our estimate that at least 42 million Americans do…

Wow, I guess China and the CCP really are great after all. Way better than the USA. Next time I vote, I’m definitely voting for representatives and presidential candidates that promise to take it easy on China.
