I don't really know how international trade law works, but a country can claim a national security exemption and avoid litigation in the WTO. National security has been cited throughout the trade war, including justifying steel tariffs

I can understand a layman bashing Chinese companies for alleged spying but any engineer should know better if they're not interested in addressing similar issues in American companies and government. I think the best way would be to re

This thread is about the US govt banning foreign companies for no justifiable reason. China sees the US abandon due process to screw over its companies and...? Somehow that leads to improved international legal norms. It doesn't make a

It's not going to work. It's just going to cut off Chinese in America from talking to their friends and family. Evil.

Which companies? If you mean Google search, they decided it wasn't worth complying with Chinese laws and left. You may not agree with the specific laws but complying with local laws is a bare minimum requirement for entry into the mark

Check out the Chinese box office for American blockbuster movies. China is a huge source of revenue and there's even movies where most of the revenue came from China https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Warcraft#tab=

What does this "open up" actually mean? A bunch of American companies have set up shop in China, which was not possible 50 years ago. Now it's common for huge entertainment properties like blockbuster movies and the NBA to ge

Yeah, it's really more like complete denial that China has less covid deaths per capita than USA, let alone 100x less. Though I have definitely seen statements like "well, this is the price of freedom and democracy."

Do you think this art of the deal stuff is really working out even between America and its allies? It's giving them second thoughts on depending on America for trade and even defense. It won't work with China either.
