Sure. But the reputable multinational corporations that dominate the industry are easy to recognize and they’re headquartered in developed countries

Uh, really? I was certain that the aftermath of WWII was responsible for establishing a form of global governance (by consensus) via the UN, and then there’s the benefits of free trade agreements that drove economic globalization.

Thanks for that Edit: On thinking about this tangent, it seems that if global regulation is the only solution, it would make sense to enforce regulation from the ship building side (in western countries), rather than the wrecking side (in d

The ASML lithography machines are only built by ASML. They are insanely complex and would be damn hard to replicate. Especially when they can't just obtain one and pull it apart. Fab equipment is different in nature to drones and na

Advanced fabs take at least a decade to spin up, and maturing a domestic fabrication capability takes decades. There's hardly a threat here.

It really depends on the application. If a company wants to provide a premium verifiably carbon-neutral product, instead of some sham carbon credit scheme, they can swap out their fuels to carbon-neutral versions. There's perhaps some

The US and its western allies are actively vying to keep advanced chip fab technology out of China, and restricting GPUs that can be sold to them. At the same time there's heavy domestic investment in new US fabs of a scale not seen f

It can’t be said that the world’s biggest economy was dependent in any way on the other players last time. Taking China out of the supply chain seems almost quixotic at this stage. Globalization and free trade has enabled so much growth, a

That's the sanitized on-the-surface naive explanation of why China wants to control the social media (and search) landscape. The 'laws' you refer to are that Google was required to take down things that were unfavorable towa

Even still, solar has just enabled agriculture on places and on margins that it wasn't viable before. Agriculture itself is also an enabler of the problem, but not the actual problem of the moment. The real problem is how do we, on l

You could have picked a better example to counter the OP. It was the ‘war machines’ of ‘death and misery’ that began and enabled a war of such scale, and it was attrition (specifically Russian attrition) of soldiers and arms that brought it

While I take your point, it’s interesting to note that the US seems poised to return an isolationist leader back into power, pulling funding from NATO and likely resuming a hostile attitude to China. There are many authoritarian leaders loo

Good point. Water is the crucial factor here in afforestation as a greenhouse gas, though eventually the moisture will evaporate and form clouds which they reverse their effect, and a tree trunk can hold carbon for a very long time. So I&#
