1) We need chip manufacturing to be nationalized in the USA - if it's that important to national security we don't need to leave it in the hands of private industry.
2) Taiwan is not China. We are going to break the rest of China up because Xi decided to consolidate power instead of steward the distributed power he inherited.
3) The USA isn't in trouble at all; we will expand our industries, inflate our currency and strengthen it so demand globally grows as Russia, EU and China falter.
4) China took HK almost 3 decades early so why should anyone believe their word on territorial respect.

I generally agree with you that countries should have control over strategic industries (e.g., oil), but I'm not sure if nationalisation is the way to go.
I feel like that serves more to scare off investors than anything else. The way the US is going about it feels more correct to me: give fiscal and financial incentives for these strategic resources to be built and managed inside the country, while also removing incentives for too many exports
If you believe oil should be then so should all energy; including the entirely government created "alternative energy" industry.
Investors will be scared of the US nationalizing specific strategic industries but not the changing political winds of foreign nations? I don't think so.
I don't understand your comment. You seem to believe because I stated something it means that I'm denying something else.
If clean energy sources are strategic, yeah the US should do the work to protect its ability to utilise it regardless of it being oil, solar, wind, nuclear. Doesn't mean the state needs to own those ventures, just that they should put in the effort to fund investment and growth in strategic areas.
