Wouldn’t this effectively shut down the entire US media?

Discussing? F*cking 86D chess. Just do it. Either China directly or indirectly gets punished, or there will be hell to pay with the voters.

And get those Chinese nationals OUT of our colleges, especially in the PhD programs. Hubby had to deal with them when at Berkeley and they were evil cheaters.
