Episode notes
There's a pretty sharp discontinuity between Obama and Trump. And quite a bit of continuity on this from Trump to Biden. The US put out of business a company called Fujian Jinhua by banning this firm from accessing machine tools that are made in the United States without which it's impossible to produce semiconductors.
