That's Corporatism. It's from the fascist playbook where the state takes partial or complete ownership of private companies. Where does that money go, to some slush fund for the president? The reason for the export controls is to keep our potential adversaries from being on the bleeding edge of frontier AI. It goes against the US's interests to give China a leg up with advanced chips. It's almost laughable, of course, as the Nvidia chips are already manufactured in a country that China claims as their own. If they ever pressed the issue, we could find ourselves without the most advanced chips.

This recent White House is another animal. It’s just bribes all the way down.

Add the Export Clause to the list of flagrant violations of the Constitution by this despicable regime.

> Technically, yes. The CCP, though, wants to incentivize Chinese firms to use domestically-manufactured chips.

This couldn’t be playing out better for Xi. Trump is China’s best president.

I used to think Trump was clueless and being outplayed, but now I realize he’s just looting and couldn’t care less about protectionism or the American worker.

Every single action from this administration can be explained by greed and ego.
