How is the us ban on huawei similar to british mercantilism in the 1600s/1700s?

compared to the united states, england is small and contains few natural resources. mercantilism, an economic policy designed to increase a nation's wealth through exports, thrived in great britain between the 16th and 18th centuries. between 1640-1660, great britain enjoyed the greatest benefits of mercantilism. during this period, the prevailing economic wisdom suggested that the empire's colonies could supply raw materials and resources to the mother country and subsequently be used as export markets for the finished products. the resulting favorable balance of trade was thought to increase national wealth. great britain was not alone in this line of thinking. the french, spanish, and portuguese competed with the british for colonies; it was thought that no great nation could exist and be self-sufficient without colonial resources. because of this heavy reliance on its colonies, great britain imposed restrictions on how its colonies could spend their money or distribute assets.

when studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. for example, cultural causes reflect how a society’s literature and art convey the way the society saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. another resource that historians use to understand society is pop culture, which tells them the trends and ideas that are preferred by the common people. when studying cause and effect, it’s important to remember multiple causation, or the idea that an effect could have several causes and vice versa.  

the correct option is “cultural causes” since art and literature are related to the culture of a place. culture is determined by literature, art, music.

the correct option is “pop culture” since it reflects the likes and ideas of common people whereas the rest of the options do not focus on common people.  

the correct option is “multiple causation” since it refers to the idea that events are caused by multiple reasons, not just a single one.  

the answer is aristophanes comedies.
