Quora: Is it wise from the US to threaten the largest Chinese chipmaker, SMIC?


Allen Allington answered.

Donald Trump choose to use the unethical, unreliable and chicken shit way to handle the USAs falling behind China in a method I call the “Tonya Harding Theory”. Try to break the knee of a competitor instead of trying harder, being smarter and investing more to stay ahead.

That theory is being watched by millions around the world and it makes the USA look like cheaters :-(

No it wasn’t wise. It makes the US look weak and ill prepared for the future.

NOTE: today it was China but it could have been Japan or Germany, Sweden or a few other countries with high tech capacity. What would he have done?
