I find it interesting that both Trump and Biden are ostensibly on the same side of this issue. Of course, Trump does it with a sledge hammer and Biden with a scalpel, but they both agree that continuing to give our technology to China for fee is dumb. As you point out it is the intellectual left that was raised on free trade is good, restrictions bad that continues to resist. The funny part is that their ally today are global businesses. Two unlikely alliances.
One of our biggest government industrial undertakings was our space program to put a man on the moon. We wound up having to use Russian rockets to send our people up and bring them back. We don’t have a job shortage. We have a worker shortage and we would be wise to employ them in their most productive uses (about which governments know little).
