US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin blamed WSJ and Bloomberg on “fake news”. That’s regarding the report on Trump’s intention to limit Chinese investments in US tech companies. Mnuchin said in his tweet that a statement will be out “not specific to China, but to all countries that are trying to steal out technology”.
First of all, who else is “stealing” other than China?
Secondly, definition from Oxford dictionary on the verb “steal” – Take (another person’s property) without permission or legal right and without intending to return it.
When some buy a company, is the property of the company “another person’s property”?
Or now, you forbid them to buy the company, so that they have to “steal”?
Anyway we don’t expect anything more than that from Trump and his team.
