The entire western world should treat China exactly the same way China treats them. Western companies have a difficult time operating in China, but Chinese companies have zero problems operating in western countries. It’s completely unfair and if we follow this to conclusion, the future will be one of only Chinese international corporations. Would WeChat or TikTok even exist if the Chinese market were open to existin…

a.) They could buy from Airbus b.) https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commercial_Aircraft_Corporatio...
a) Fair enough. But I reserve some doubts it will be that easy. If it gets to the point that China bans Boeing, I'm convinced many EU companies would also be in the firing line of US sanction regulators and China. b) Cormac cannot even produce jet engines after 25+ years of state backed R&D.
My point was that they are building a commercial plane (not with Chinese fans yet), as your usage of "yet alone" expressed some kind of dependency or sequence, at least to my non native speaking ears.

I always point out the price difference for the two models of the Purism Librem 5 phone. One model is manufactured traditionally and costs $749. The other model is manufactured in the USA and costs $1999. Americans talk about bringing manufacturing back to the country, but I'm not sure anyon…

China has not forcefully seized foreign company's promising assets so good so it's impossible to consider for sale, by both a measly 'offer' of maybe 1/10, or less, of the market value and threatening from the leader, has it?
They haven’t directly done that, but what they have done is force American companies to form joint ventures with a Chinese company in order to operate in China. This requires the American company to hand over intellectual property and trade secrets. And then, amazingly, some state funded competitor comes along doing the same thing the American company wants to do. Would a Chinese company have this same problem enteri…

I guess eventually all other countries would resort to having laws specific to handling Chinese companies and all laws common for companies of all other countries.
