This may seem like a tragic misattribution, but I think the more widely this is understood the clearer it is how much of a pure practical liability an oppressive totalitarian regime is (in addition to the pure evilness of it in Carse’s infinite game sense).
If you are trying to build a business not liable to be exploited by CCP, you have to build it elsewhere. Considering regime specifics, namely nonexistent freedoms and checks as far as government intervening in corporations’ private business, CCP can be pretty much considered a “parent company” of any business, and it has eroded trust in itself for some credible reasons.
And sadly, that might be the only practical way companies will be disincentivized from doing business with China. I sincerely hope that this happens, and then maybe China will be forced to show more respect for human rights and the rule of law, again not out of any fundamental change of heart, but purely for economic reasons.
