The US is running scared because there is absolutely no way they can compete, unless they severely handicap the competition.
So, instead of free competition in Western markets, we have coddled American companies that are "too big to fail" that will continue producing obsolete technologies. If we haven't already, we'll start to see Boeing's product issues in American cars.
