SMIC did not get banned due to their books and the ban on compliance was also a Trump EO

eh...it's a rough one. I get the US wants to handicap China here by denying them of talent, but many naturalized are being told to choose between family or allegiance as most 1st gen's will undoubtedly have ties to the motherland. I wouldn't be happy if asked to make that choice by my adoptive country.
Citizenship is not something that you just get from your local grocery store. It comes with duties and responsibilities that all center around loyalty, loyalty to the country that you became citizen to. "I pledge allegiance to the flag of United States of America". This is the pledge of allegiance that every single person has to declare when they become a citizen of United States of America. There are different ways for you to show your allegiance. Biden is not asking these "Americans" who are working in China for Chinese companies to make semiconductor chips to fight against the Chinese or to destroy Chinese semiconductor manufacturing plants; he's only asking them to come back to America to enjoy the freedom and democracy here. That shouldn't be too much to ask.
I do have problem with this order. You know this only apply to "the Chinese" right? Like the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, obviously later follow by the encampment of the Japanese in WW2.
AMD and Nvidia CEOs are all Chinese-Americans. While I don't want to guess what these two's political views, I am sure they are not happy.
Really? That did not appear that way when they kicked out Taiwan of the UN when it was politically expedient.
Jesus, you're one sino wingnut!
Do potatoes help steer missiles and drones, and help crack cryptographic security?And tomorrow potato farms are a national security.
I'm just saying you're absolutely wrong and those are screenshots so Baron's OK with it.Oh yes this is the ban based on national security concerns because the company is directly controlled by the Chinese military. Yes because by investing in these stocks, we will be directly supporting the Chinese military which is building weapons to kill us. This is a very fair ban. Would you like to invest in stocks of companies that are controlled by Al-Qaeda or ISIS??
I don't know why you need to put it in such huge fonts to waste @Baron's server space.
If you are truly loyal (which you are supposed to be) to your adoptive country to which you have become a citizen, the choice shouldn't be hard especially when you know your native country is trying to destroy your adoptive country. The least that they can do is stay neutral. It's like your birth mother has all of sudden decided to annihilate your adoptive mother who has given you everything, your education, your work experience by helping you to find your first job, are you going to go back to your birth mother and help her with all the information that you have on your adoptive mother and build weapons against your adoptive mother? And what about your children who were born in your adoptive mother's house and who have always grown up with their adoptive grandmother, the only grandmother that they know and are now living in their adoptive grandmother? Should they be killed now also because they choose to be loyal to their adoptive grandmother and stay with their adoptive grandmother?
Like I said before in my previous post,
NVDA is a defense contractor? Obv is only impacts dual nationals/naturalized US citizens with two Passports.
