It’s interesting to see short term business interests again undermining American sovereignty.

Just as business exported strategically critical manufacturing to China, now it is helping funding China’s race to take over the US in AI and beyond.

Lesson is pure free trade doesn’t work if (a) not everyone is playing by the same rules and (b) the trading territories are or may become opposed.

American economic policy gave the world an authoritarian super power and Trump. Not a great track record.
