The US government has been pretty clear why they are doing this and the purpose of the “chip war”.

Nvidia and other businesses have been handed an olive branch but allowing them to sell things the US government considers inconsequential to China to make a few bucks. If Nvidia decides to abuse this privilege, the olive branch might just get taken back.

I would disagree. Our form of classical liberalism requires those wielding the baton of power to do a better job. The state serves the individual.

Private enterprises anticipating the political needs of a central government was a tenet of Mussolini’s economic fascism and has no place in American political discourse.
