US Plan To Establish China Investment Curbs Imminent
Early last month, I sketched the contours of a Biden administration plan to restrict American investment in nations deemed antagonistic.
The curbs, reportedly in the works for nearly a year, are aimed at choking off the flow of US dollars to adversaries developing cutting edge technologies in key industries, including quantum computing, advanced semiconductors and selected AI applications.
Although the executive order and accompanying implementation details from Treasury and Commerce likely wo
Thanks for highlighting this.
I’ve probably been over-thinking this, but it sure looks like this conflict is accelerating at a dangerous pace.
Plain and simple the world is at war, with combat operations currently limited to Ukraine, a “natural” evolution from the colossal failures of the misguided Afghanistan and Iraq wars. If Trump or likeness returns to power the future of humanity and the planet becomes dire.
Sorry, John, I like and respect your market commentary, but this is just a bad take. Trump won’t ever return to power — his base has shrunk to maybe 33%, and is growing smaller by the day. He’s a loser. Bigly.
Obviously I hope you are correct, mfn…and I did say If…i see it tucked in on the end…hope alls well for you and loved ones…
Back at you, John.
If anyone in the US votes for a so-called leader who espouses war with China they are crazy. We tried this once before in Korea and they kicked our butts back to the 38th Parallel. Ask friends and relatives alive at that time what that was like. I had three uncles at the front. In those days the per capita income in China was less than $200/year and they had no nukes but they beat us anyway. War is not an option, though there are always some crazies who want to mix it up on the playground to prove that our kids can die better than their kids. Most of the big mouths saying this crap have never been there (heel spurs and rich daddies). Back in the day we all loved that line from the Godfather, “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.” We loved it but now we can’t wait to ignore it. It’s still true, nevertheless and we never seem to want to learn.
