All 3 links are related to the Trump administration, which is known for its isolationist stances on many things. That's not "the west". You do realize VLC was started in France, right?

  Last I checked, France seemed to dilike the Huawei for being pricing their phones too low, and being too ambitious. https://www.frenchweb.fr/comment-huawei-avance-ses-pions-en-france/240327 https://www.frenchweb.fr/comment-huawei-avance-ses-pions-en-... I wonder how you feel about Huawei however- maybe my perception is biased.

    So because one author on one French site wrote one article that has a slightly negative title but otherwise neutral content, suddenly the whole country dislikes the company? Get over your biases.

      I'm glad someone with those biases is here; obviously '1996 is far outnumbered on HN by those with other biases.

Those are government actions.. and if you want the reasoning, then you can read the report from the congressional investigation into Huawai and ZTE: https://intelligence.house.gov/sites/intelligence.house.gov/files/documents/huawei-zte%20investigative%20report%20(final).pdf https://intelligence.house.gov/sites/intelligence.house.gov/... Until the findings of that report have been reversed, Huawai will continue to find the US Government hostile to their actions, and willing to put up roadblocks wherever they can to stop Huawai's entry into the US market.
