For the most part government doesn't care. And that (cost) has nothing to do with it (look how long its taken them to do a damn thing about multiple situations of that happening in the US, and most likely it'll just be some fines which will be chump change compared to the damage from the anti-competitive behavior; the tech giants alone probably got a trillion or more dollars fleecing Americans over the last decade and its getting worse; fossil fuel companies probably worse, likely tens of trillions over the decades they've been doing that and they're literally killing Americans in the process of their shit - pollution will likely kill more Americans than cigarettes). If some American billionaire wanted to partner with a Chinese EV company to make EVs in the US, using imported Chinese parts, the government would give a shit only because of the ability for China to infiltrate other systems, cause, China. Nevermind China doesn't even need to do that, or that the US is doing it to other countries (including allies) and has been for decades. And even though American (and European and Japanese, and...) car companies are snooping all the shit off your phone when you connect to their systems (which includes selling that data for China to get...cause they really give a shit...). Its just like how they're going apeshit about TikTok, nevermind US companies have been shown to be doing exactly the shit they're sounding the alarms about China, and worse, to American citizens where we can show a wide variety of direct harm. But who fucking cares cause its American companies.
Intel did that shit for decades and barely anyone gave a shit. They got a fine that was like 1/5 of a year's worth of cost for Intel in the US, and Europe reduced the fine and is letting Intel payoff with effectively the loose change from their couch. Meanwhile, Intel's bullshit gave us possibly the single largest hardware compromise in all of history (that hardly anyone seems to give a shit about - probably because security is already shit in most companies). And its going to cost Americans tens of billions more as we're gonna end up subsidizing Intel to be anti-competitive, all in the guise of it being better cause they're American fucking America.
