'Can't have your data going to China'

'Can't allow companies that do censorship aligned with foreign nations'

'This company violated our laws and used an American company's tech for their training unfairly'

And the government choosing winners.

'The government in announcing 500 billion going to these chosen winners, anyone else take the hint, give up, you won't get government contracts but will get pressure'.

Good thing nobody is making these sorts of arguments today.
