> So basically you want US companies and economy to be controlled by the government to the same extent that Chinas companies are? Where the government needs to approve every deal with foreign suppliers and manufacturers? I don't think that sales volume is the only metric to be taken into consideration here. No matter what degree of culpability you assign to each party, the US and China are countries with an increasing level of hostility towards one another. Why should America permit what are ostensibly American companies from openly trading high technology with an increasingly hostile nation? Especially technology which is of military significance. I'm sure there were similar restrictions in place during the Cold War. I'm not advocating that the west returns to similar policies, but this might be the direction that we're forced to progress in for our wellbeing's sake.
