Exactly. China can't do much with my data, compared to the US government or my insurance company.

They have skillfully used it for IP theft which OECD estimates is worth about $500B annually in lost revenue. Destroying the mechanism for R&D funding is actually a great strategy by China. Props

I’d prefer neither. But my prediction is that when we have a conflict with China, their digital access is going to be a game changer.

Business requires security. If you can do anything physical in the US, or in Europe etc. then you must be doing something so clever that secrecy is warranted.

They do not know what R and D is, let alone what is does. One guy bankrupted a casino and saluted a North Korean General, and the other tried to impregnate a couch

The BBB actually has great tax rebates for R&D.
