    Self-plagiarizing:

    Germany, France, Belgium, Spain, Italy, and Poland, where Poland has by far the highest rate of trust in US and Chinese tech companies. Seems therefore like the five other countries might not be a representative sample of Europeans, even though total Polish trust of US tech companies still only amounts to 38% compared to ~15% in runner-up Italy.

    Coincidentally™, Polish trust nearly triples over more “Western” countries, which shows that this clearly isn’t a representative sample of Europeans – definitely not enough to claim “8 in 10 Europeans”. (Politico actually changed the headline from earlier which didn’t claim this.)
