  Because US governments are led by 60/70/80 year olds who know nothing about technology. All they've done is weaponize TSMC and Nvidia.

    Do 20/30/40 old politicians know significantly more about technology? I mean, they can hold a phone right but do they know about foundries, cryptography, whatever? Success in their career path depends on their ability to get voted, not on knowing what to do next or their general or specialist knowledge. This is the same for any age group of politicians.

    The US needs young minds in government to compete effectively… it can no longer afford to have the dinosaurs ruin its future …

  The US is in a tricky position, China gets the best of both worlds, they buy in US goods when they're better and they build their own when they can. That's an asymmetric advantage China has - since the US doesn't want to buy in Chinese equipment when it's better due to national security concerns. So the US has moved to change that - they'd rather decouple than allow China to more easily reach parity. Yes in the long term this forces China into full self-dependence, but the US has to back itself - does it think it can out-innovate China? You better hope so.

    This could be a downer for would-be US entrepreneurs. Would you start a company there if you can't export product to China? Or import from there because reasons? Whatever your opinion, CN is a big market. Unlikely to turn the overall situation around, I think. But just might tilt the playing field a little bit in favor of say, India or the EU.

      What if US entrepreneurs think that china market is not profitable in the long run, as their core tech gets replicated by Chinese?
