On the one hand, fuck China, on the other hand, not a good sign for policy going forward setting precedent for government takeovers of businesses.
We do not have a free market. It's retarded to expect one when other countries don't follow suit
If we had a true free market, Bell would be the world power. They would control all communications.
This one is easier for me. China does not allow for the same types of foreign ownership that are common in the United States and Europe.
If they want to protect their own companies and industries and markets, that's fine, but they shouldn't be surprised when others do they same.
Governments need to step in to protect national interests. Because what else is the government even for? Nexperia shouldn't even have been allowed to be sold off to China in the first place.
Oh no, not my hecking companies! We need to let private organizations undermine the greater good to please the false god of free markets!
