China is very willing to play hardball and throw multinational corporations out unless they cooperate. The US is only just starting to consider actions like that (cf. Huawei and TikTok). I wonder if that's the next big shift in international politics - countries realizing that in the name of ideology (free trade) they've been freely giving away something very valuable - access to their domestic consumer market - which they could have been "charging" corporations quite a bit more for if they wanted to.
