For instance, explicitly demonstrating the numerous ways in which American progress could be impeded, explaining how China and Chinese business owners could get ahead in RISC-V technology, and maybe drawing an analogy with the restrictions imposed on federal funding for stem cell research that affected the US in the global landscape [1], among other examples.

Frequently, politicians prioritize their personal agendas and interests, so it's essential to thoroughly address those aspects.

PS: I'm not a US national, so I'm only analyzing the topic rather than engaging in it.
