When you’ve spent your entire life immersed in American Exceptionalism, acknowledging that other countries have valid interests can be a difficult concept to grasp.
Which right now they are. All the tech for the west comes from America, they have by far the largest market in the world and everyone wants access to it.
At this point, its mostly just a few software giants like Microsoft that do have alternatives available. Everything else is just companies owned by Americans, but doing all their design and manufacturing in Taiwan or other parts of Asia. Intel is the only exception I know of, but they’re rapidly shrinking at this point and show no signs of ever being competitve again.
All the tech for the west comes from Taiwan foundaries, Chinese and South Korean factories, South Indian offshore software service consultancies and made with Japanese components fabricated from Chinese rare earth elements from American companies with a surprising number of subsidiary headquarters in Ireland.
The US hasn’t been the biggest market for a decade, and everybody wants out.
They really believe they are the center of the world
