tldr;<p>&quot;It would have been unthinkable for Cold War America to source key components in logistics and telecommunications from the Warsaw Pact. We never had to address the question because the Soviet Union didn’t make any finished goods that Western countries wanted to buy. But if they had, integrating them into basic social functions would have been considered too absurd to take seriously. And yet, our long history of peaceful relations with the PRC has led us to sleepwalk into exactly this unacceptable state of dependency.&quot;
