I know the specifics of 20 years ago when I was given mandatory classes and threatened with imprisonment annually if I sold computer hardware to people who I had even a suspicion might be planning to resell it to the ChiComs. I know it would have been wrong for me to leave the army and go teach them my skills.
It was wrong to let the ChiComs buy our plane companies, and we should be looking at ways to get them out of their hands. One idea might be to fight fire with fire and remove any protections they have from third party suppliers making parts. We could perhaps force them to have domestic partner companies to continue selling here. We could stop Garmin and other suppliers from sharing information. If anyone in power gave a rat’s behind, it shouldn’t be that hard to get things moving in the right direction.
