Chris Miller on US technology policy in the early/mid-2010s:
“American tech policy was held hostage to banalities about globalization that were easily seen to be false. . . . in polite company in Washington and Silicon Valley, it was easier to simply repeat words like multilateralism, globalization, and innovation, concepts that were too vacuous to offend anyone in a position of power” (p. 298)
