    We are now at a time where US blocks China services in order to protect its companies

    Just like many US services are banned in China in Order to protect their companies

    So, I hope no surprise…

    Its or their for countries?

      I feel like their is more common. I do deliberately say its for companies because companies aren’t people and don’t deserve people pronouns. Countries seem more like a collection of people, so I use their.

      If someone knows more about grammar feel free to correct me.
