This is a completely destructive plan that will enable international competitors who aren’t subject to it to simply take the tech industry away from the US.

A lot of people just don’t get it. The US is the most powerful country in the word because of its technology and economy. Losing that will pretty much mean that others (likely non-democracies) will rule the world

It's pure insanity. In many parts of the world there is no divide between government and business. That's what these companies are competing against.

There's no reason that foreign companies that don't follow US law must be allowed to operate in US.

True - but then there is no reason the counties those companies operate in should continue to trade with the US or supply the resources it needs.

Seems a lot like communist isolationism.
