It's smart, I don't know how people will feel about it but it's smart.

The US and China are in an escalating economic cold war. It's goes completely against US interests to invest finite resources into growing the economy of an economic rival — and ditto for the converse of China investing into growing the US economy. Especially in an aggressively competitive economic sector where relative technological advancement is king for competitive purposes.

Oh hey, a ban that actually makes sense.

Probably a good move honestly.

A great move 30 years after neoliberalism forced globalization down our throats and brought the planet to the brink of collapse in the name of exploiting the global south.

Like it or not China has become a huge threat, not just economically. they are not our allies by any stretch and we shouldnt treat them as such.

At least that's what the current hegemon says to the world.

The military needs to develop its own encrypted os to use on bases and beef up their security. We are vulnerable because we use the dumbest most common OS out there. They should have their own hardware built by their own people. The US military should have its own in house manufacturing and development.
