    US crying and shitting its pants over the mere possibility of losing its top spot in the global market. I look forward to cheap computer parts. I thought the free market was a good thing. Only good when it screws over labor, huh?

      So China does not allow American companies in china nor do they allow most imports. Then they steal any ip they can get ahold of. Then you complain about the free market in a totalitarian state? Yeah, nah.

        If companies were so afraid of having their IP stolen, why were they tripping over themselves to work with a totalitarian state? Imaginary Property theft is rampant in all developing countries and that includes the US when it was still developing.
