The reason to let Nvidia sell in China is to take the wind from the sails of the CCP’s state-sponsored semiconductor industry and to make a Taiwan invasion immediately more costly to them and progressively costlier each year.

It's understandable why Stalin didn't see it that way - 1948 and 1949 had been a string of successful Soviet-backed coups in Europe capped with the CCP's victory in China and the detonation of the Soviet atom bomb. But all that just enraged the Republicans and pushed Truman into a corner.

Many Chinese people came—or hope to come—to the US for its freedoms and because it is is a gentler, more humane society where the government respects human rights, unlike in China. The Trump administration is doing the CCP’s best propaganda to ruin America’s reputation.
Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.
