Small brain: Locking out China will destroy China’s competitiveness.
Normal brain: Locking out China will hurt China but not ultimately stop China.
Big Brain: Locking out China will hurt the US more then it hurts China.
Galaxy Brain: By forcing conditions and incentives for domestic development that the Chinese state itself could not, locking out China will cause China to thrive.
In reality, the U.S. government’s aggressive deployment of blacklists is acting as an involuntary catalyst for Chinese technological self-reliance. Washington is not suffocating its rivals; it is forces-manufacturing the exact domestic ecosystem Beijing has tried—and failed—to build through top-down subsidies for a decade. By locking these firms out of the Western orbit, the U.S. is inadvertently creating hyper-resilient, vertically integrated giants capable of dominating the global south…
Moreover, these companies offer something Western tech conglomerates cannot match: cutting-edge infrastructure unburdened by Western political conditionalities. When a Chinese enterprise builds a smart-city framework or a 5G network in the Global South, it comes with sovereign financing and a guarantee that the system won’t be turned off because of a human rights dispute with Washington.
Sooo, what’s up with BRICS lately?
Still kicking, and I expect that with energy prices going up and the US becoming more belligerent with this sort of stuff, we’ll see BRICS becoming increasingly more important as more and more trade moves out of the dollar system.
I love to hear it!
Thanks. 🫡
