    Could the OP not think of any reason this would be a bad thing other than China? Not the slave labor? Not the support for autocracies? Not the crimes against humanity? Fucking yanks man.

    That said, I have no particular opinion on the China thing, let Trump destroy Western military supremacy; I’ll happily watch.

      *Other than China being able to reverse-engineer our military tech? I mean, they probably have our building schematics through other means, but isn’t that the main faux pas?

        No, that’s the main faux pas if you’re a US liberal with no care for human life that doesn’t meet a property minimum or resides outside your borders, and not being that I don’t give a shit about China getting access to US military tech. Arming Saudi Arabia is bad because Saudi Arabia is an autocratic imperialist slaver state.

          I don’t think anyone is arguing that governments are good, only that he should be in prison.

        Didn’t China already hack the DoD, or some other contractor, and steal the F-22 or F-35 plans? I swear I read this a few years ago.
