Yeah, sure and how is that Huawei ended up being banned without due process? Europeans are not sparred either using the Justice Department or a straight out tariff(i.e steel, cars etc)

True. And every US company is by default basically banned from China unless they want to let you in.

US being the world's superpower has experience with communists, dictators, royals and all kind of leaders. The only issue here is that China is the 2nd world economic power so it's a bit harder to use the stick.

Nobody said it was a perfect system. It can be abused, especially when legal precedents haven't been set, but there are also means to challenge the legitimacy of such decisions.

>> but there are also means to challenge the legitimacy of such decisions.

And how did that work? (i.e for the Iraq invasion/Afganistan).
