But they can’t continue to make money this way. It will be seen as control. So they’re stuck creating a competitor or just writing off the US market.

Yeah I think they’re angling for a reversal, if not they’ll sell and probably take some massive non voting share of the venture along with a bunch of billionaires.

They won’t sell lol, like why would they? If they truly are owned by the Chinese government why would they sell it to an American company?
