... because the current admin is not exactly in the habit of thinking ahead. I see no reason they intentionally want to hurt the goose laying golden eggs. I’d be happy to learn valid reasons why though.

You just described the past few decades of the whole of the DC elites thinking about China. The goose is a Trojan horse as any idiot can see. Sell out the future of democracy to keep apple stock price soaring. Short sighted indeed.

  Did you watch the Senate hearing with the tech CEOs? Half were more concerned about “big tech being mean to conservatives” than they were about doing anything “for Democracy”. And then you had the one representative grilling Zuckerberg about Twitter’s policies.

  How is letting Apple running localized chat apps in China selling out our future democracy?

  Haha. But yes, maybe, even if it's sad to see the US government at the level of a 6 year old. Well there's 45 days to lobby. Apple will be inconvenienced even by Americans with Chinese background and iphones. A large chunk of them switching to rooted Android versions will not be good news to Apple (or Google, for that matter.) And I think they will, seeing how dependent many are on weChat.

I doubt he is not thinking ahead. Just seeing jobs start to come back to US when the previous one claimed no magic wand can do it already indicate the orange man are no ordinary tactician. He ended ISIS just by bombing them to hell while the previous with a Nobel, free helicopterloads of money and 2 terms couldn't. Look at the outcome. If the ends is good, the means may not be that stupid as you might perceived. The guy able to do Art of War even better than the people who read it as part of national educational syllabus since young.
