I think Trump just proved that America can do whatever the f*ck it wants, and the rest of the world must comply, or risk facing sanctions or gunboats.

They can even force GNU open source to declare that this code is open source, except for non-democratic countries, such as China.

You, as an American citizen, are still under the legal jurisdiction of the long arm of federal laws.

They can probably even declare that all programs written in C or C++, are in effect, under American jurisdiction. Or even code that is encoded into x86 assembly, will be under American jurisdiction. And we know that all code written in China, uses the C programming language, as they have never developed their own technology stack.

In order to avoid this fate, then China must rip out everything from their country that has American technology, and develop their own technology stack, down to the ISA (Instruction Set Architecture). They cannot even use ARM or RISC-V, they must develop their own ISA, and call it CNA-1.

Then, they would have to develop their own programming language on top of this. Then their own operating system, and application software, to replace all American technology.
