American companies aren’t going to just “not make money”. It will be uncomfortable for their margins but they’ll survive and take their IP out of China. That certainly would put them into the dark ages since all they do is poorly reverse everything they get their hands on and never innovate a single fkn thing. 1 billion people in that country and nobody can think for their fkn selves, it really amazes me nobody has invented a new pc or something big over there.China’s economy has been tanking since Covid. Hong Kong is a catastrophe. They’re propping up Russia in the Ukraine. The bolded would put china into the dark ages.
