116. Thank you for that...

...you make very good points with information that I haven't seen or considered.

Taking all of this insight into consideration, it leaves me wondering why the U.S. is doing this? There seems to be a lot at stake that is being played with unless there is some valid reason.

My initial reaction is that perhaps there is more to the security threat than is being made public, but that doesn't jive with the longterm roll-out dictated by the bill's enforcement schedule. Now I'm wondering if this one action against this one company is part of a larger scheme the U.S. is working on, or if this just happens to be one of the game pieces being played by the U.S. in our (seemingly) eternal negotitations with China.

In any case, I have a very strong suspicion that we (the public) just don't have all the info we need to paint an accurate picture of this scene, and that in itself bothers me.
