Of course screwing over America’s crown jewel companies is a helpful side effect.

I was referencing that. İt doesn't help deepseek; it harms them unless the government compensates. What's the calculus?

Exactly what they're aiming for.

> it harms them unless the government compensates

not an expert but it looks like you just describe the entire China playbook. See EV, rare earth etc.
