Please read my other comments below (discussion with geofft). This is not the idea I suggest. In fact, it's the exact opposite.
> Secondly, from the point of view of the US it's also stupid.
My comment contains no countries and/or adjectives intentionally. It's neither about US or adjectives attached to US. I'm talking at a meta sense.
Again, please see my comments down the thread. This is not what I tried to say.
The core of the whole discussion is here [0].
Secondly, from the point of view of the US it's also stupid. The US enjoys influence in the world because it propagates a rule-based order, not because it exploits everyone it can get its hands on. That would rapidly lead to a breakdown of trust and in this case result in every country trying to displace American technology from its markets. Which the EU say, could theoretically do.
