Re: USA decoupling From China
I agree with your comments although I would describe it less as a 'wish list' and more of a 'throw it at the wall and see what sticks' list.
The West's attempt to decouple from Russia over Ukraine and the difficulties and costs associated with it should serve as an object lesson.
We also need to keep in mind that China was our biggest trading partner in 2021, both in imports and exports.
Even limiting it to technology presents problems. NASA's decoupling the Chinese space program led to them focusing their efforts and they now have their own space station, not to mention the only rover on the moon. Huawei, despite sanctions, remains a technological leader in both hardware and software (if not in profit).
For better or worse, the Chinese have smart people, just like the US, and too often this seems to be overlooked.
