> Well, it's too early to say if it has happened in this case

Ah ok, so you’re just guessing. You wrote it as if it had already happened.

And I think you’re confusing the stock market with the broader economy. The economy as a whole is unaffected by AI at this point.

And the trade war with China involved hundreds of industries beyond AI. Most of it is manufacturing. I’m not sure how failure of AI sanctions (questionable conclusion) somehow means the trade issues around machine parts needs to be abandoned.

I agree China has motive but I’ve heard so many claims that the Chinese government doesn’t control research or businesses like TikTok.

That's not a generous reading. I'm saying this is what has happened historically.

Edit: the use of the words "might" and "could" made this pretty clear.

> The economy as a whole is unaffected by AI at this point.

True in terms of no marked effect on GDP. But the stock market and the broader economy are very much linked. See 2008. And the stock market is high on AI.

Even western countries tell tech companies what to do. Do you think an authoritarian government is going to do that more or less? There's a reason they didn't want to sell TikTok.
