That the firm was allowed in and then needed to be expelled is the issue. How many operators are still there but undetected, or so embedded that they cannot be easily expelled?
- DennisP 1y agoSo are you saying that the US should make military threats against any ally where a Chinese-controlled firm sets up a mine, even temporarily? Or where it might have happened without being detected?
- FuriouslyAdrift 1y agoAll Chinese or Russian firms should be considered, at least at first glance, as military or intelligence apparatus.
- DennisP 1y agoYeah but I'm wondering whether we should make it that easy for China and Russia to ruin our relationships with our allies.
- FuriouslyAdrift 1y agoI think that is more to do with the current administrations "style" of state-craft (basically the "big stick" method)

He's constantly blustering and retreating from his own lines. The last big-stick President we had was probably Obama, though Bush and H. W. strike closer to the mark.
