The envy/fear of China’s growing technological lead (especially in 5G) has become a political issue for the Republicans and the ☠resident (who misdirect it as a “security threat”). however, if the Chinese develop their own replacements for the telecommunications infrastructure, (currently being restricted) the US may never be able to catch up.

Trump is a crazy liar who should be removed from office now because he asked foreign countries for help in the election which is against the Constitution.
Republicans have became dictators who are destroying the American Revolution.
After three and one-half years of a presidential term where Trump coddled China, now he’s “tough” on China when his polls are sagging and he needs another scapegoat…

I’d be more impressed if it hadn’t happened during an election campaign where the one initiating this action is sliding downhill in the polls.

This is news? We knew this ever since Trump was entertaining Xi Jinping at Mar-A-Lago. Didn’t seem to bother anyone then.
