what about the part where a single person is dictating taxes on American companies? That does not seem to phase that many people in the tech space...

And what leverage did the administration illegally (without Congressional authorization) apply to get this deal?

At least when the Bush admin did the first part of the financial bailout in 2008, they had Congressional authorization (a bill was passed).

A deal for 15 percent of revenues of specific AMD and NVidia part sales in China != 15 percent of all their revenues, not even close.

Rare earth miner MP Materials back on July 10. Next feels like TikTok or Fox News.

With time military companies need to pay their allegiance money so that they can break sanctions and oh national security. Some will approve because of the same reasons as Nvidia deal, who leaves that money on the table?

I'm not mad about a corporate tax on semiconductors sold to an adversary and agree that a tax is better than a ban on those sales.
