But wouldn't it be nice if we as a civilization had progressed beyond the point where we did shit like this? We're talking about cutting off over a billion people from access to advanced technology. It's an utterly stupid thing to do from a purely rational standpoint.

China is one of a handful of countries propping up Russia in its war of aggression against democracy and world order. They are what we technically call "the enemy", along with North Korea and Iran. We do far, far too much business with China. It's OK to have them supplying us with cheap shit that will be no big deal if it disappears. Relying on them for anything important is a huge strategic mistake.

>China is one of a "handful" of countries

The "global south" is on Russia's side against NATO. Global south represents the majority of the worlds population. US has various embargoes & sanctions against ~27 countries.

It's not just encouragement, it's laws preventing the import/export of Chinese technology, and requiring it to be ripped out of production and replaced with American gear.

Not just in the US, other allied countries are being encouraged to do the same.

That's a massive subsidy.

There is no bill, no one has written anything.

Yet.

When they do, do the same thing us 2A people do when they write all these crazy bills: Call, write, email. Lots. Often.

It's *our* government. They work for *us,* we don't work for *them*. Tell them. They do listen, from time to time.

And AG Barr can go fuck himself on this one. He's part of the swamp that needs to be drained. That man's full of bad ideas on a number of subjects, not just privacy.

Huawei would have no choice but to hand over network data to the Chinese government if Beijing asked for it, because of espionage and national security laws in the country. Microsoft has no choice but to hand over network data to the USA government if Washington asked for it, because of espionage and national security laws in the country. Same - Same
