This is silly pearl clutching, do you have any refutation of the arguments?
I believe there is very credible reporting on ccp-sponsored hacking of industrial, military, government dbs, etc. Even if we don’t have hard evidence of this type of hardware compromise, it seems to be wise to believe there are serious risks, and to take action until such risks are investigated.
Despite all the expertise on HN, i would guess almost no one here has a clue what kinds of elite military spy tech are being tested/used.
Further, the ccp has shown the world who they are - bad faith and anti-global-cooperation. Trust should be a two way street. I think we’re foolish to do any business with them.

The refutation is that the tech sector is one of the largest beneficiaries of globalization, and practically would not exist in any recognizable form without it. With measures like this (but by no means only this measure), the US is in the process of rolling back globalization, and the tech sector will suffer for it.
