I think that's what the EU is hoping for. Their technology industry completely failed in this space, so for them it makes perfect sense to simply drive competitors out of the market entirely. Worst case for them is that the international competitors actually comply.
- unity1001 4y agoEu's technology industry did not 'fail' in this space. It allowed the US to dominate it due to the long-standing control of the US over NATO and its political-economic consequences. Similar to how the Eu let the US destroy its entire aerospace industry starting from 1960s until recently. China, India did not allow that. Hence, they already have various competitors in various tech sectors.
