As someone who has been around this space for 38 years, including much engagement in/with China (placing VeriSign's .com/.net server in Beijing and being the apologist to the Congress and Bush Admin.), it is quite simple to me: when it comes to protecting our strategic ICT supply chain, we have a clear process on the outbound side-the EAA?ITAR, requiring an individually validated license for those few technologies we would actually sell to China. Under such a system, WHY in heavens name (or, to channel Sec. Kissinger) "vhy vud ve effer BUY strategic technologies from a nation to whom ve vuld refuse to SELL strategic technologies ??!!"
