1. Given the US track record, yea. Sounds like US is going all-in on banning everything.

2. The difference between China and the US in these fields is actually in favor of China, in my opinion. The US is behind, so if they do ban Quantum Computing and AI, China will find themselves even further ahead.

The overall gist of the US actions right now is to completely split the world in two, one US-focused and one China-focused. The US is trying (hoping?) the rest of the world will fall into the US camp and they're doing it through threats and violence, but I think they're finding the rest of the world would rather leave the US camp.
As they did to Soviet Union many years ago

Compared to then you had prime time adult US and Europe vs adolescent soviet union.
But today it's elderly US and Europe vs soon to be prime time adulthood(2030) China and Russia.
It would be shocking if the EU is still picking the side after being almost sucked dry by the US, same for the Asian lackeys, you can't have a cold war when the so-called modern soviet is willing to cooperate with all international players and treat them equally no matter the ideology, national strength, and political structure, without color revolution, assassination, military intervention, and ideological colonization.

I remember someone saying why do all the central banks around the world follow in lockstep when the US raises interest rates. There is your answer. You don’t raise rates = your currency loses value because it’s not worth holding your currency if the other has better rates. Dollar is up against the Yen by ~44% since 2021.
Japan economy is not diversified enough for current environment.
Saudi had agriculture exhibition. Japan participation is much less compared to Western EU.

If Japan had $50b dollar a month trade deficit like Europe where do you think Japanese Yen value will stand. no amount of interest rate will rescue it.

I mentioned before that if Scholz is the first to visit China to meet Xi post 20th National Congress then we're going to have to give him the carrot to set a positive example.

Well Scholz so far is on the right track, he doesn't come empty handed either:

Scholz is a much more moderate figure compared to liberal idealogues like the Greens. In fact, I still remember his January WEF speech in which he

:
We will prove wrong those who are currently portraying our continent as a billiard ball in a great geo-economical game between China and the United States.
He was also pushing to ratify CAI. It is clear however that his positions have changed since the Russian invasion. He has taken a more anti-Chinese stance but honestly he doesn't have much of a choice because otherwise his political career will be ruined by the torrent of vitriol unleashed by the media. He still maintains a much more balanced position on China. At the very least, he never initiates any anti-Chinese policies but rather goes along with them after succumbing to pressure from the Greens or US.
