The US is keen to fall for the Thucydides trap. For now the US is the dominant economy; by 2050, most GDP output will be in Asia. The US may win the short term skirmish, but they will lose this war. China is making inroads in the other economies that will matter in the future. This move is terribly myopic and will end with the US having given up an opportunity to work with the emerging power. Huawei powers and will continue to power the rest of the world. This isn’t changing anytime soon. India, Africa etc
1. They aren’t really fed up, investors who are fed up sell, they don’t whine
2. It sounds like investors want to eat their cake and have it too; they want the profits without the man, it doesn’t really work that way, you knew the shareholding structure when you bought, if you were uncomfortable with it, you shouldn’t have bought.
3. This shareholding structure gets changed by regulation or Facebook having its stock price collapse. Facebook’s profitability is improving so that won’t happen anytime soon. Government action is a possibility depending on how the 2020 election goes.
Note: The shareholding structure is probably a perverse incentive that will lead Mark Zuckerberg to self destruct in the longer run (Bezos, Gates etc all run the risk of being fired, but they run their companies such that the shareholders always wanted them there), for now, he’s safe.
