Are you sure you really work at AWS? Dude, how often do you realize the documentation is not sufficient and you have to dig through people's brain to actually get the nuances, that is, lucky enough they are still around? lolll
Back in the early stage of social media, US companies had the choice to operate in China as long as they comply with the censorship and local laws. Had they chosen not to quit China market at the point, they would have been probably huge in China holding major access over Chinese users too. (How would Chinese government react to that is something we never get to see now...)
I keep seeing argument regarding "China bans social medias from other countries". It's not an outright ban saying that "Facebook cannot operate in China", but more like "Comply with the censorship rules or you cannot operate in China". It's not targeting "ownership" or "nation states". e.g. Google chose to leave, while Microsoft continues to operate Bing in China.

Please do not plan based on anyone's goodwill only, especially in this one you have such a high stake. I'd at least consult a lawyer at this point, even if it means you don't take any legal action.
EBS connects to EC2 via a separate pipeline, different from the EC2 instance Networking bandwidth. This is true for all Nitro instances.
EFS / FSx connects to EC2 via Networking bandwidth. So you should refer to that if you are looking for the bandwidth information.

Depends on what volume types you are using. For random access - with io2 you can get 256K IOPS per volume, and if you do RAID0, on the largest instance you can get 400K IOPS.
Directly-attached vs over-the-network storage can be fairly different, but going back to a spinning drive is not a fair statement.
Exactly. It's the risk management system that a company implements.
Tech companies also serve customers who are in competition with each other. No company is above this. It's all about how you handle these tricky situations.
I have yet to see concrete evidences saying that the internal firewall was breached. I'll wait and see.
