I know it does but the government shouldn't tell you you cant take money from an investor because of there location. It should be the company to have the spine to stand up to china
But they don't which sucks
They can just regulate out Chinese goods. State that 5G equipment needs to be sourced locally..
Yeah, but the morals Germans are pushing are _correct_ and totally can't go wrong, don't you know?
The size of their markets allow them to use our business interests against us
Western companies should all transfer factories from china to other developing countries instead
China keeps copying
yeah but tf they gonna get that slave labour from?
Vietnam
The USA needs to increase free trade with Europe and invest more, to offset Chinese influence @Sawyer42
IMO
pepega
India
Let the Americans beat the Chinese to Europe
Yeah. But the EU too <:thunk:462282216467333140>
bit hard when everyone in the EU thinks trump's a nazi.
I agree but the EU isn’t too friendly to American companies
They don't @Sire Fagsalot
not everyone ofc
That's because of the rhetoric of the USA, which needs to change @Sawyer42
The EU like control
As does everyone
So?
@Nathan James 123 point taken, but I also think the EU is looking to create market space domestically so they can produce competitors to the US FANG companies
Business-wise. Why would anyone nowadays wanna set up shop with china when it's known they steal IP & will kick you out later after making a cheaper chinese competition anyway
So I’m not sure how much of a difference a change in rhetoric will make
True they are trying to do that, but the larger US companies will be able to dominate newer, younger European ones @Sawyer42
Beat them to it.
Also, beat the Chinese to Europe.
@Nathan James 123 I don’t share your optimism
But I’m not saying your wrong
There's obvious sectors where the US can't compete, aerospace for example
But technology? They can make a massive impact.
Subsidise CISCO, flood Europe with cheap Cisco 5G products.
I think the EU is far more willing to bully against US interests than
I would love that
No disagreement there
Obviously most here would hate to see subsidies ;P
Exactly
