The app for independent voices

Very interesting. They've turned up the rhetoric and harassment, but have utterly failed to put together a real strategy to compete against China in advanced technologies like 5G or to create a strategy with U.S. companies to stop the hacking and espionage. There have been modest steps such as the Pentagon investing in the former Mountain Pass rare earths facility in California to ease dependence on China, but nothing of sufficient scale to alter the underlying realities. I suspect the four top guns sense, incorrectly, that if they name and shame, it will force a Chinese response. They are fundamentally misreading Chinese culture and mentality.
