S. and Chinese companies have had a huge impact on business and trade in the Pacific Gold plating era.
Given their spending power, lobbying resources and culture, given that their products and services penetrate into almost every aspect of our lives, they may also have an immeasurable impact on politics.
We believe that the power of both countries is unlikely to be restricted because the Chinese government supports their rise and the US government will not impose severe regulation now.
We also agree with the McKinsey Global Institute's assessment that these companies have long been
Because they have the ability to invest heavily in technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics in the future "insurmountable advantages ". The Latest . . .
Christopher Mims of The Wall Street Journal wrote: "The tech giants are carefully moving towards monopoly ": facebook, Alphabet and Amazon are enjoying "profit margins, market dominance and influence" and they are developing into a new monopoly.
"They may not be mature for this extreme regulatory action, but as they consolidate their control over the market, the negative impact on innovation and competition is becoming more and more obvious.
"While Apple is ahead of the tech world in terms of revenue, profit and market value, it is considered more vulnerable to competition.

Tencent and Alibaba have avoided the hustle and bustle of antitrust by maintaining a good image in Beijing. . .
Their sheer size also makes it easier for authorities to control.
"The big picture: the new gold-plated era is global, and there are differences between technology companies in the world's two largest economies.
When they compete for control of Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe, their wealth and influence will swell to a more unimaginable level than they are now. ---

Sounding Board: long Spotify
At the Code Conference this week, I asked Spotify founder Daniel Ek a very simple question about the long term issue
His company's ability to survive: "Your biggest competitor is three of the world's four largest market cap companies"-
Apple, Amazon and Google.
"Fundamentally, the content you provide is the same.
"You don't have a mobile phone and you don't have a home device.
So, in the long run, what can stop Apple, Amazon, and Google from basically squeezing you out of the market because they can bring that music to more people?
Ek: "Well, I think when you see the competitive environment that we have, I think you can say that's the case for almost all Internet companies.

These platforms remain open.
"When we compete equally with all these companies, we tend to do a good job.
So that's our focus and keep this platform open because we think it's in the customer's interest and obviously we know that we're going to do a good job in this case.
That is to say. . .
Ek did not answer the question exactly.

James B. of the New York Times.
Stewart: "The victory of the government will be considered a major setback.
This does not mean that it cannot happen.
"What's pressing about this deal is the size and reach of AT&T in the field of wired, wireless and satellite communications. . . .
