Absolutely stupid policy. My former employer bought Fanuc robots from Japan and they were the best-of-breed. If you want to support small American businesses, give them access to the best-of-breed technology. If Chinese produces more advanced robots, then American businesses should be allowed to implement them. If American robotics companies are to succeed, they'll need to be more innovative.

It's not 1999 and no normal computers ship with integrated CD-ROM drives anymore. So why is it a big deal for the Playstation user base? Most games require gigabytes of DLC anyways. And having a CD doesn't mean that they won't simply shut down the server that's hosting your game.

There are too many problems with AI data centers for me to list here, but of course the Trump government will complain about China in regards to the US citizen-led resistance to building a national surveillance network to punish political opponents. These are the same asshats who blame George Soros for funding the massive protests to the Trump criminal administration.
