    Not really an answer to you, Rahvin, I just quote you.
    Your arguement is it may lock the US out not to share but assume they would share and some would consider it highly likely that they wouldn't.
    What technology does the USA actually have to share? Intel processors ... hm, now let me think ... an iPhone is not really "technology", neither is a laptop ... they can build nukes, so can China ... hm ... an Aircraft Carrier, China bought their only one from Russia, hm ... actually I have a really hard time to think about anything that the USA has the rest of the world, particularly China, has not.
    Well, now some pharmaceutic companies come to mind, but that is more a money and "we buy what we can" thing than technology or innovation.
    So: what actually is it that China is "stealing" from the US?
    I can not really imagine any US product being interesting for me, well an Apple Laptop, made in Ireland, or an iPhone made in China or Taiwan, or a Harley Davidson, made in Thailand ... what exactly is it, the US is making and gets stolen by Chinese companies?
    Sure, I could buy an US car ... but as I live without a car and use my bicycle ... why would I? A vietnamese, korean, or russian car is cheaper (got for bid an Indian one). Any other car, like from Europe or Scandinavia is better. Ah, a Tesla would perhaps be an exception.

    So again: what exactly is the US producing that is worth to be stolen?

    US tariffs on Chinese companies/products change nothing on that ... go figure.

    China violates their trade agreements in every possible way, so much so that it would *almost* be better to not trade with China at all.

    They cost the same everywhere
    No they don't.
    Why the fuck would they? You never heard about the fact that not every food grows everywhere? That wages are different? That transport actually costs something?

    An Avocado in Germany is about $4. It does not grow here.
    A sack of Avocado in Thailand, about 25 pieces, is $2.

    Same for rice and any other food like Mango, Papaya, Shrimps/Prawns, Octopus or actually any sea food etc. It gets even more interesting if you go eating in a restaurant. In Thailand I pay for a kingly meal for 3 or 4 persons $25. The same meal would cost me in Germany $300 or $400.

    What do you think a box of simple Pasta costs in Thailand? Or olive oil? 10 times as much as in Germany, 20 times as much as in Italy or Spain, 40 times as much as in Greece. Already in Europe the price difference can easy be a factor 4 to 10, from east to west or north to south. Why should a Cheddar cheese from UK cost the same in Paris or Berlin as it does in Manchester? For funk sake, obviously it is more expensive outside of the UK. Why should red wine from Italy or France cost the same in Germany or the UK like in the land of production? Are you really such dumb?

    America seems to be focused around cheap food everywhere, so you can not imagine that at other places it is cheaper. However: at many places (first world nations) it is more expensive than in the US. OTOH if we talk about quality food, it seems to be incredible hard to find "affordable" places in the US.

    50 cents buys about a pound of uncooked rice in a market in India
    That is nonsense. I obviously don't know the price in India, but it is likely a tenth or even less than in Germany. E.g. in Thailand you pay for a sack of rice about $10, to heavy to carry for an ordinary person.

    Food prices, especially unprepared, vary easily by a factor between 10 and 100 from country to country.

    As I saif before: implying that either my spouse or I have not enough professionalism to have "no conflict of interest" is slander.

    It is unethical to promote your spouse because s/he is your spouse. It is not unethical to work in the same team/hierachy as peers, or as inferiour or superiour. And it is not unethical to promote her/him because s/he is the best for the job, either!

    Unless something unethical is happening, there is no reason to interfere, neither by action nor by imposing a policy. And if something unethical is happening: you fire both, for conspiring against the interests of the company/of their employer.

    Unless you can show me the UK law that disallows such a policy I'll continue to believe the multiple companies for which I've worked that have had such a policy. Would be easier for both of us if you could find some examples :D
