A sane industrial policy.


Could you clarify further? "Sane" is very subjectively defined.


I think you should not sell advanced industrial equipment, electronic parts and computers to everyone willing to pay because they can be used to produce things (including things that shoot, fly and explode). Sell only what can be used for entertainment, not for manufacturing.

For example, make an export version of GPU that has very poor precision and makes mistakes in calculations. Nobody notices if the pixels in a game are colored little wrong, but you cannot do science on such a GPU.

Also restrict export of scientific data. Keep monopoly on manufacturing things.


it sounds to me more insane to try dividing the world more.
