This story seems to play out a lot with the US govt. Likely due to the lack of any real long-term planning.

Oh no China is taking some of our control over X
Do nothing for a while
Scramble to stop China from completely taking over X
Waste billions on propaganda, cost everyone money via tariffs, sanctions, bans, etc
Realize it was never going to work and give up
Do nothing for a while
Start at step 1 again
