HAHA Sanctions are a bit too late.. the "you can't get in here" club trick does only work when people want to get in there in the first place.. but China is a hell hole of governmental overreach, where you debate whether your government is still only authoritarian or already totalitarian haha whoever invests over there is out of his or her mind, or a true believer in whatever the Chinese state does

What happens in China can happen anywhere.

The Chinese are normal people.

However what their oligarchy does is what various factions of the oligarchs in the US would do.

The people meeting right now in Sun Valley believe they are wiser and smarter and they will make you epsilons if they can.

China is already stealing everything from Boeing.

There has been so much IP theft that any large sale to China should be treated as a one off.
