You are so bullshit. At that time SEC compliance wasn't even involved in the argument, it was outright ban of SMIC under Trump. Google the news kid.
seriously, you are looking to be ridiculed... The US is obsessed with winning medals. They invented the daily medal count! The complaint from the rest of the world for decades has been that US athletes are essentially professionals through the sponsorship mechanisms they created to finance their "amateur" athletes. And the US has complained for decades about how many governments in the world are directly financing their athletes, turning them into state employees. Athletes always compete to reach their best and, for the best, it always means winning.
Perhaps some don't trade 5 shares of inverse ETFs with anticipated holding periods of hours or a day or two, but pay keen attention to geopolitical shifts that greatly affect markets in the medium term. Why have to talk about individual trades over and over when I have already stated to be short in a large share of my overall balance since the beginning of this year. I communicated my long dollar and short Euro and equity bias. Did days like Thursday hurt? Sure but the vindication comes each time when short term bounces are almost entirely retraced and that train goes further south as we progress through the current inflation, central bank and geopolitical chaos. Different blokes, different strokes...
China's moral and ethical level is as low as it can possibly get. They have not played fair for decades starting with their big promises in order to get added to the WTO club. Lots of unfulfilled promises and lies. Nothing has changed in this regard. It does not mean that we should adopt their ways or play by their rules or lack thereof. Sure makes for a tougher fight but in the end we can be assured that we have done the right thing. Stripping nationals of their citizenship is taken straight out of china's playbook.
We are not. This is about survival. Nice try though. These "nationals" are not supposed to be working in and for China in the first place.

You can still buy iShares EWH, which is not the same a Heng Seng Index ETF.
Not supposed to? Who said that? What if the president tomorrow decided that all whose screen name is "TheDawn" should be stripped off their citizenship? Because this is what it comes down to, a blatant violation of the fundamental freedoms guaranteed in the constitution to choose my own damn work place and employer. It's preposterous how suddenly anything can be justified just because some clown up there says so.
Not to the point of recruiting foreign athletes. And US is right to complain about countries training athletes in designated facilities since childhood away from their families and turning them into government employees and even lying about their age so they can be advantageous in some sports like gymnastics? Just because US plays fair doesn't mean it can't complain about other countries that don't. Still, don't change the topic just because you can't justify why China, a country that doesn't recognize dual citizenship gladly accept athletes who are foreign citizens to compete for them in the Olympics.
Nor can American residents not trade foreign index options as far as I am aware of. Plus a number other instruments. America, the land of the free, has been a blatant lie for decades. And the sheep are too stupid to realize it.
Not trying to justify why China lets foreigners gain special dual citizenship in sports competition. Everyone does it under different guises and I don't care!
