For some items, yes. On the other hand, most Asian companies (includes Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc) are quite happy to use American software such as Google's Android OS and Apps because that costs them very little, and they don't have to go to the hassle and costs of producing it themselves. Google gains because any income from Android and its Apps is very welcome. America gains because that income is also received. Apart from any American sales to Asia resulting from Google's ads, such as various luxury brands, Hollywood movies, iPhones, etc. Now when any Asian country is not permitted to use Google's Android, sure it costs them because they now have to expend effort and money to produce the equivalent to Android. But to offset that, they now get all the income from the Apps and sales of goods that America used to sell. Not only that, but the Chinese/Japanese/whatever markets are taken over by Asian companies rather than American companies and American companies get squeezed out of Asia. America too often has short-term or zero-sum thinking. Asia usually has long-term or win-win thinking. It beggars belief that Trump,etc complain that China isn't buying enough stuff while they refuse to sell them the stuff that China wants to buy. SMH.
