I’ve heard of some blockchain based systems referred to as decentralized cloud before (including stuff like Sia and Storj, which I guess is what OP wants). I haven’t looked into them that much, but IIUC they push most (all?) controls and so on to the edge. I’m not sure I’d use them though since the networks aren’t super large.

China’s only really become comparable to the US in the past couple decades. Give it some time. Their increasingly heavy-handed posturing around Taiwan for instance seems to say they’re well on their way.
I mean, not to absolve America of anything, but it’s not like the rest of the world hasn’t been complicit in burning paradise either.
