> Why is the US always focusing on individual companies instead of working on laws to protect them from all companies invading the privacy of their citizens? Banning one player isn't going to help much in the long run I would think. The matter is whether "is is ok to do business with a company from a communist country for as long as you are not dealing with the state itself" vs. "it is ok to do business with a communist country in general, just not with their dangerous businesses" Given the context of the issue, one whats to ask why now the later is fine, and the prior is not? It also does sound, and look completely schizophrenic when the same part of political establishment vouches for both at the same time. It feels the establishment is still very, very eager to keep doing business with China, just as much as they are eager to keep insane profits that come from the trade with China, and they will immediately run back to Beijing to bargain for concessions right after the elections. Remember, the establishment has collectively sank legislations barring companies from dealing with labour rights abusing contractors abroad.
