There's nothing inherently wrong with it. Though it creates a competitive advantage and forces other countries to do the same, of not more. Everyone starts pointing fingers at each other and imposing tariff at the end.

Plus this puts pressure on manufacturing, as they will not be able to compete. So yeah, as a tool to boost knowledge economy it works but is it objectively a good thing to do I don't know.

why wouldn't r&d count as an expense? why do amortization schedules constitute a subsidy?
