          I don’t know if it should. Linux is obviously important to the Chinese. The foundation also has employees from Intel, VMWare, Meta, Qualcomm, Microsoft, and all the Japanese electronics manufacturers on the board. If we are so afraid of China maybe we should pull all of our manufacturing back.

            Isn’t that what we were trying to do? A slow pullback of manufacturing from Xiland in phases.

              Obviously there isn’t a consensus. 187 House Republicans and 33 Senate Republicans voted against the CHIPS Act for example.

      Yeah i also thought about it but decided to be optimistic for a sec . Atleast i hope they indirectly press others to do so.
