Is your view specifically applicable to EU bans on US related tech, or would you extend it to the US bans on Chinese related tech? If there's a "but" in there then maybe your hypothesis isn't too solid.
- pb7 4y agoChina bans US tech, US bans China tech, tit for tat. The difference between US and Europe is that US actually creates things.
- buran77 4y agoYour generalization of an entire continent is quite offensive (more towards yourself, really). But going past that, sometimes creating things comes with a cost, like privacy. And now you see this dissonance where on one hand we lament the status of today's privacy, while at the same time calling any attempt to limit the damage a sign of incompetence. As for your "tit for tat" explanation, it would hold a lot more water if the bans didn't target (almost?) exclusively the areas where China is pulling ahead.
- pb7 4y agoIt's not a generalization, it is a verifiable observation: Europe creates significantly less. If that's offensive to you then it's time to reflect on what caused you to be in this position.
