Imagine a world where in order to do business in the US you must grant the government control of your company. This sounds worse than even the most alarmist China takes.

Sounds exactly like China to me.

Pot calling kettle black no? The rest of the world can see the US federal government detaining people in concentration camps right now

This is exactly America’s path. All this time we were “fighting” regimes like Chinese and Russian and now it is like “can’t beat them, join them” banana republic
