a couple of open questions so you mentioned this number under 50000000000 dollars but a big chunk of that actually comes from private corporations or partly stays home and corporations are the big question is how those are effected and then also what will happen to component china so far has still be dependent on semiconductors for example from the united states but overall this report underline that china is by far less dependent on technology as china was in the past. should such a policy be implemented it could be seen as a response to the way the u.s. is treating china squab way now is washington's attitude likely to be influenced by such a direct. well i mean overall it's a tit for tat and yes as you mentioned washington has been trying for quite some
