    The measure at issue is known as the “outbound investment” provision. We have heard for years about the problem of manufacturing businesses shipping jobs overseas to China, with its low worker wages and low environmental standards. China typically forces businesses wanting to locate factories in its country to transfer their technology and intellectual property to Chinese firms, which can then use that to undercut competitors in global markets, with state support.

    This paragraph is dripping with liberal hypocrisy on so many levels.

      Can you explain what you mean? Is the US known for using this tactic? I guess having backdoors in tech comes to mind.
