> As long as western companies cannot freely buy companies in China the reverse shouldn't be possible, too. Western countries aren't allowed to freely buy companies in western countries either. > Business with dictatorships must stop as soon as possible. Why? Business is business. > Nothing good comes out of that. What nonsense. You should check the wealth generation the past few decades. Had to take you seriously when you espouse such nonsense. > I hope we will see more moves like this from democratic governments. You seem to have a bizarre and naive notion that this is a "democracy" issue. If china was a democracy, we'd have the exact same problem. Heck, you could make an argument that a democratic china would be far more aggressive it would be subject to populism. Russia is a democracy and it is fighting a war with another democracy. Most of the conflicts around the world are between democracies actually. I know the democracies you don't like, you just conveniently label "dictatorships". But saying so doesn't make it so. The problem isn't democracy vs autocracy. It's a matter of power. White vs non-white. It's the fight over 500 years of established geopolitical order. It's why the fight isn't between the US and china. It's between "the west" and china.
