That is not really relevant though. The point is that while its true that there are some american companies who are not allowed to operate in China, there are many more that are allowed to operate and have a large amounts of revenue from there. Conversely there are very few Chinese companies operating in US, and the successful ones like huawei and bytedance are being shut down by government intervention.

China could easily make the claim that Boeing have strong connections to the US government and using them is a threat to national security.

>Boeing planes are made in America

Most are, Boeing I believe opened an assembly plant in China a couple years back. Even for the ones assembled in America the components may be built in other nations by subcontractors.

What a bizarre viewpoint. So America should sell off these brands to the highest bidder and focus on companies that only produce and sell in the US? You are totally fine with letting China buy coke and kfc? Both have huge market penetration in China.

This makes no sense.

"Brands Smands" indeed, good luck getting consumers to buy PatriotSoda instead.
