U.S. needs to work with Europe to slow China’s innovation rate, Raimondo says

Wow, why would anyone want to slow down innovation, no matter where it comes from. You can try to speed up innovation in the us or Europe. trade secrets don’t necessarily slow innovation, because ip protection is an incentive for the first mover to innovate. But stopping the first mover is very bad.

Economic warfare. It sucks but it's a thing.

But it doesn’t make economic sense. It’s like bitcoin miners have no incentive to ban clients that want to send them transaction fees.

I guess it makes sense only when the other side is also not acting in their self interest.

>If we really want to slow down China’s rate of innovation, we need to work with Europe.

Thought headline was hyperbole, but basically verbatim. Always fun to see mask off moments for US FP.

Wouldn't an innovative solution be to facilitate peaceful innovation wherever it is found rather than demonizing an ascending superpower?
