Trump Prohibits Broadcom's Takeover of Qualcomm Due to National Security Concerns [Updated]

I don’t understand, your link confirmed what I said. Any car foreign owned car companies that want to avoid import tariffs must start a joint venture with a Chinese company that has a 50% ownership. China’s Free Trade Zones exempt this requirements, but treats anything produced in the zone as a foreign produced good.

Tesla will produce in Shanghai Free Trade Zone, in which Tesla will be not be required to form a joint company, but the down side is Tesla will face import tariffs.

You mixing things up. EM wants 100 but officials haven’t agreed to it at all hence why EMs outreach to the monkey in the White House on Twitter. The local government is trying to continue as well 50/50 - what you describe is not reality yet

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Tesla has reached an agreement with the Shanghai government to set up a wholly owned manufacturing unit in China, a first for a foreign automotive company.

With the proposed agreement, Tesla would be able to independently build cars at a free trade zone, without having a local partner. However, the vehicles manufactured there are likely to be treated as imports, facing the 25% tariff.

So, yeah... The government finally agreed.

We could probably have a long and healthy debate about many of these points, and there are valid arguments on both sides, but that's a discussion best left for sitting face to face with a couple of cold beers. Instead, I'll offer a different perspective. Regulations are good. Under-regulating is bad. So is over-regulating. Perhaps this is just a necessary "correction" to force a reset. Getting rid of more extreme regulations resets the playing field and forces us to look at things with a fresh perspective. Should new regulations be created? Absolutely! Should they be more balanced? Absolutely!

The challenge in any democratic society is to keep the pendulum from swinging too far either way. Restrictive is just as bad as Unrestricted. Balance is the key.

Regarding your assertion that these changes will "kill and sicken hundreds of thousands, if not millions"... is that perhaps a bit melodramatic? Will some people get sick that would otherwise not? Probably. Will some people be helped that would otherwise not? Probably. Again, balance is the key.

This is as of January 31st. I can only imagine the regulations axed since then. Every agency lead he has appointed has sworn to destroy the agency they are in charge of. I'd rather not have this happen, and YES, in the case of the EPA, it will needlessly sicken and kill American Citizens.

When the USA does it - BAD.

When others do it - GOOD.

This is one of the reasons Trump was elected. Tired of hypocrites telling the USA what to do.

One could also say that when the Chinese do it then it is BAD but when we do it then it is GOOD.

Good or bad depends on which side of the fence you are looking at it from. A lot of communist countries have similar policies in line also. The real hypocrisy is when it is not ok for others to do it but ok for us to do so. The same of course is applied to other countries to be fair (from the local people’s point of view in those countries).

You are linking to an article from 26 October last year - yes thats what EM believed at the time, few months further down the line this is not the case anymore.
