Every step in the process now within the Chinese ecosystem is increasingly dominated by Chinese companies.
That is something that is very frustrating for the U.S. government in particular.
And at the same time, the Chinese government is not apologizing for this at all.

The Supreme Court has ruled that President Trump can remove leaders of independent government agencies,
but crucially, not the Federal Reserve.
And while the ruling doesn't explicitly prevent Trump from firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell or any other member of the central bank,
the journal's Chelsea Delaney says it does provide some relief to market participants worried about the Fed's independence.
Trump's threats in recent months to fire the Fed chair have really shaken investors.
We did see a big sell-off when he was making those threats in April.
He's walked them back.
But there probably was still an overhang of anxiety among investors about whether the Fed would be able to maintain this independence.
So this order definitely will ease some of those concerns.
