This is really serious as it could force you American wumaos to eat crap exactly like MAGAts as your source of real food from Chynna is choked off -Trump may have found our weakpoint.But ,honestly Trump and his sycophants are desperate now and Bessent 's little rant about a lower-ranking CPC member having actually issued the RE/CM ban not Pres. Xi is beyond ridiculous.

Was the idea from rhodium?
The US government could try. There would be huge pushback from the entire contributing community. If the pushback works, the US government looks really, really stupid; if the pushback doesn't work, then the open-source ecosystem undergoes a massive fork, which likely results in US and Chinese systems not being interoperable in the long run. You might also see a bit of stagnation on the US side because Chinese companies now contribute more to a few critical projects than US companies do.
Sounds likely since they are run by nontechnical people with no fucking clue on how anything works unless grifting is involved.
Mexican cartels rubbing hands...
Linus did expel russians who contribute to the linux kernel after NSA required him to do so, and that was well known incident. so he's not like what you portray him to be.
About Open-Source Software as a whole, USA will surely try to do so, especially that Open-Source have a lot of choke points like relying on github which was bought by Microsoft some years ago...
Unfortunately for them, they can get the results they wants, because China already has projects like Gitee which mirrors most of Open-Source Software available in github, and provide an alternative for Chinese developers instead of github or anything american.
Also Chinese developers contribute a lot to open-source software, and have their own developed open-source software, like OpenHarmony OS, SiYuan (PKMS), DeepSeek,...etc.
And cutting open-source from china will need to be cut from others and hinder them, around Asia, Africa, South America and even Europe will be affected...so they can't do that without a huge cost, and the possibility to be kicked out of open-source communities and the world just go on without them.
I swear if they can do that without being hurt, they will do it, but they don't have the ability to do it cleanly like they want.
Someone made a table to list all US export items to China, a total of $147B USD.
