Also kind of the same as when the US companies transferred technologies to Japan in order to produce there for cheap, and then destroyed nearly all of domestic manufacturers with the import
I kind of see how letting your own industry sink because you want to minimize the cost is a bad thing, but I also don’t think that going sharp 180° after that and trying to impose extreme taxes out of the blue because you suddenly realized that your money was spent on the development of another country is good.
It would be nice, of course if none of this went into military and police there (or anywhere), but that’s wishful thinking :(
