True - but - we can still ban foreign companies who act in nasty ways. We 'divest from Oil' for god's sake we can at least 'divest from the CCP'. The CCP has a team in most (about 85%) of Chinese companies to ensure they tow the party line. They don't care about day-to-day operations, but when it comes to sensitive things, they report back to the CCP. Thanks to technology ... it's the most systematically totalitarian state ever devised. When writing 20th century dystopian novels, we never even conceived of the level of personal control. Imagine if the US president ordered a CIA or GOP organ inside every US company, directed the Fed to put money in certain banks, and directed the banks to make loans to specific companies on specific terms. And then read everyone's email, browser history, chat to make sure they 'complied' and flagged anyone who ever hinted anything other than the accepted truth. That's just scratching the surface. We should ban it.
