Trump reportedly preparing new ways to block China’s interest in American tech

Can someone weigh in here? Seems like if china wanted to slap a tax on every cpu chip it would hurt a bunch of our businesses that rely on fabs in China (intel, apple, etc.)?

China has brought this upon itself. The Chinese do not play by the rules, so we don't really have a choice but to punish them.

People rolling over on tariffs because they're afraid of a trade war are entirely missing the bigger picture. In order to enforce rules, you need carrots and sticks. A WTO member country continually acting against WTO mandates cannot be tolerated. If we get a trade war, so be it. The system must be respected. Just because China is massive and imposing doesn't mean it gets to flout the rules everyone else plays by.
