IMO: Trade war
Courts in China are not independent, let's be honest. Hurting Apple, the crown jewel, is a warning to USA (even if Qualcomm is US based)
Edit: also see Huawei CFO getting jailed etc etc. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-12-05/huawei-cfo-arrested-in-canada-as-u-s-seeks-her-extradition https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-12-05/huawei-cf... China answered....with hundreds of billions in market cap for Apple.
- talloaktrees 8y agoDefinitely can't rule it out as a factor.

- throwy67i4 8y agoAnd what if Qualcomm had lost this lawsuit? I’m sure there would be people saying, “This is a political move against an American company. No way would a Chinese judge rule in favor of an American company right now.”
- onetimemanytime 8y agoapple can buy QCOM by lunch time so market cap is important. Next, a phantom firm worth $5 can sue MSFT in China
- kurtisc 8y ago>Courts in China are not independent, let's be honest. The USA has elected and appointed partisan judges!
- DeonPenny 8y agoWhom has told the leader of that party donald trump on the national and state level to stuff it plenty of times.
- vkou 8y agoAnd, in other examples, are doing exactly what their campaign backers expect them to do.
- DeonPenny 8y agoYes that means that do things that trump agrees with and some things that he doesn't. As you'd expect someone making their best judgments. Unlike the courts in China which never ever ever do anything to contradict Xi and CCP.
- vkou 8y agoGreat, so in the US, we have judges beholden to different powerful groups, that don't have my best interests at heart. It's marginally better then having them beholden to one powerful group, but still insane. Judges need to be appointed, not elected.
