On the one hand, Chinese companies get an unfair advantage domestically. On the other, I would love to see Google sweat.

    Hell ignore that, Google helps to write us trade policies. Do people really think there's an open free market system in America or Europe for that matter? Look at Donald Trump's inauguration. The Peasants were kept out but all the tech bro CEOs were there. Y'all are dreaming if you think that things are fair right now. Especially if you don't think it's a two-way street.

    I just dislike the traditional framing of things like "unfair" in contexts like this. It's always been used by dominant powers to destroy any domestic capacity. In this example, if China had never put up any barriers to foreign tech, they would have none of their own at all by now.
