They're functionally forcing the sale of the company to a US Firm at fire sale prices.

Yeah, you are right. They should do like they do in China, sell to a JV with a local company at fire sales price... Oh wait

The American policy is to seize a pre-existing firm after it has developed, by accusing its Singapore founder of being a secret Chinese Communist.
