a wall street for us with more on this so yes the word from the treasury is that they're not singling out china but are investors buying that explanation. well even if they're buying this explanation that doesn't necessarily make things better right because not just china but also other markets and potential investors there would be limited to the you are third tech industry so one idea circulating is on one side investments into the u.s. knowledge industry might be limited on the other side also exports of figure knology out of the united states could be controlled more or also restricted so we did see quite a reaction here on wall street blue chips losing by more than three hundred points nine out of the past ten trading days actually blue chips lost value and especially technology shares gutted hard here at the beginning of the new week well
