Free market is better when its truly free. Free from: - Predatory export subsidies. - Protective non-monetary barriers to import/export. - Theft of intellectual property. - Monopolization of dual-use and essential manufactured products. - Two sides that are not posturing for war. - One side that is not disregarding international law. In the case of AI, the scale of CCP military command & control, and intelligence collection is vast due the size of the PLA, PLAN, MSS, etc. Denying them AI to fuse and coordinate may be a lost cause ultimately, but time has a value all its own and that's what the US is after as it - and its allies - reconfigure to defend the SCS, India & the Pacific in general.
