it's not bizarre in the least if you consider any of the metrics that attempt to quantify corporate size and holdings.

Here's a market cap index[0], do you notice anything?

One thing that I notice is that every company in the top 25 is either American (.. or by some legal stretches, Irish) or from somewhere in Asia.

>Really didn't expect to see this dog whistling on HN.

"We can stop and let Asian tech giants eat us alive." is neither coded, nor suggestive -- nor is it written in such a way as to avoid condemnation or blame, It's a plain statement.

Can you describe how it's a dog whistle, and to signal which faction? I don't get it.

Asia is too vast for a group of people to be against the entirety, no? At least I haven't ran into the anti-Asia faction, yet; but I have ran into plenty of anti-country folks.
