Disregarding that twitter man breaks out the biggest scary words he knows and loving weird take of "oh nooo, everyone will be lost without big brained american engineer! You die without irreplaceable superior naturalised american employee",
the basis of making it nonviable for non-US entities like ASML Nikon and Zeiss to keep buisiness on the mainland is a very, very real thing. It's not my area and legaleese even less so, but the ambition isn't lost on me. The US has their strangulation gloves on and murder on their mind

Likely a lack of movement on forced technology transfer under the guise of "licensing deals" in exchange for Chinese market access. For years, particularly in tech industries, China has basically conditioned domestic market access on partnering with a Chinese firm in a JV, or licensing your tech to a Chinese firm. Many of the involved Chinese firms then start using the IP or production techniques or whatever beyond what's agreed, and the western company has no recourse outside the Chinese court system which is ineffective here.

This has been an issue at both the WTO level and bilaterally for a number of years - the four lists of Chinese gods subject to increased import duties was Trump's attempt to get at this, but USTR has never found an effective enough lever to get China to stop. And now there's this, coupled with the Biden administration's drive to onshore various technologies, including chip manufacturing.

I find this term particularly difficult.

I will not disagree with the problematic Chinese implementation/practice/consequences.

But, there is no 'force', and the long established international agreements (specifically designed to avoid slavery and abuse) have legitimate value.

Not one company operates without having agreed to the rules. It isn't forced by any definition of force, unless you object to the international agreed upon literal anti-slavery laws.
