As always, you have summarised perfectly. American companies and innovation is far more than any single company.<br /><br />@Gilsu - I don't think it was a smokescreen. They don't seem to care about anything of the chaos they create. It is truly a train wreck.Rameshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11782192840421019943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-54105308378654561042018-03-15T16:10:16.338+05:302018-03-15T16:10:16.338+05:30so the Tillerson announcement makes sense now. off...so the Tillerson announcement makes sense now. offlate American way of governance is pretty similar to what happens here. Throw them off the scent by creating a scene elsewhere. public memory is short everywhere it seems. <br />was wondering when you would be posting on this topic. paatha already posted :Dgilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03259194565523548553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740849900073154554.post-65931721512659052032018-03-14T09:31:44.611+05:302018-03-14T09:31:44.611+05:30I assume that last question is rhetorical. Perhap...I assume that last question is rhetorical. Perhaps you would understand if you stopped thinking logically. Clearly the decision-maker is not thinking logically. <br /><br />Great ideas come from everywhere, and many times the same idea incubates in multiple places at once. How many companies have raced to complete a project so they are the ones to get the all-important patent? I agree that a cut in R&D spending by one American company will likely spur other American companies to work harder and faster, that said cut will not give China a monopoly on good ideas or even on 5G research.<br /><br />A clarifying question - Wouldn't economic nationalism oppose any outsider, whether Asian, African or European, from controlling US companies? Wouldn't an aversion to "Chinese looking people" taking over American companies be racism rather than economic nationalism?<br /><br />It doesn't look like we'll get much more information on this blocked merger since Tillerson's pink slip has overtaken the news media.Anne in Salemnoreply@blogger.com
