Comment Thiel is protecting Palantir (Score 5, Informative) 109

So any big tech company with access to Chinese cutting-edge products is going to be a nasty competitor to Palantir. Seen in this context, Thiel is attempting to block his competitors' strategy of buying better tech and leapfrogging Palantir in contracts handed out in the somewhat backward USA.
