Yes, the US was wrong to abandon the nuclear deal with Iran.
But that's not the whole story with the Huawei CFO arrest.
China and their state-owned and state-controlled companies are stealing trade secrets and military technology instead of developing it on their own.
Chinese companies enjoy open access to Western markets, but Western companies are highly restricted in their access to Chinese markets.
If Huawei illegally sold technology to sanctioned nations, and the US can use that to pressure China on trade and espionage, more power to them.
- eh78ssxv2f 8y ago> China and their state-owned and state-controlled companies are stealing trade secrets and military technology instead of developing it on their own. Do you have any evidence for this? Have we arrested any US citizens for selling/leaking military technology to China?
- ummonk 8y agoWhile there is definitely good reason to believe that is happening, it should be noted that multiple Chinese-American scientists have been subjected to meritless witch-hunts. See e.g. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2015/11/feature-chinese-american-scientists-crosshairs https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2015/11/feature-chinese-amer... and https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/17/technology/sherry-chen-national-weather-service.html https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/17/technology/sherry-chen-na... for examples.
- matt4077 8y agoI’m as opposed to current US idiocracy as anybody, but requiring people to relitigate every last fact, and prove even widely accepted moral concepts from first principle, just destroys any honest debate.
- eh78ssxv2f 8y agoI do not know of any place that widely proves that "state-owned and state-controlled companies" are stealing trade secrets. Individuals, sure. State-owned companies? I would like to know the proof for this.
- dis-sys 8y ago> Chinese companies enjoy open access to Western markets please show me how Huawei enjoyed its open access to the US market. if you like, I can easily show you tons of evidence on how Huawei's competitors say Cisco enjoyed its open access to the Chinese markets.
- gonvaled 8y agoWhat that has all to do with the arrest? She has been arrested for violating a completely unrelated US law (in non-US territory).
- matt4077 8y agoYou seem to suggest using a political move you disagree with to take hostages to force China to act on an entirely unrelated set of grievances.
- alextooter 8y agoHuawei is not open access to US market. NYT said NSA is hacking into Huawei's server steal information.
