I love how you act like Huawei did nothing wrong. We don't just think they stole IPs, we don't just think Huawei are run by and for their government. The American economy is far from perfect but I seriously doubt that anyone at this point sees China's economy or level of self-built technology a threat.
Sure, most people have a bias or a slant, and it often comes out in what we write, but do you honestly think anyone who sees you are a brand new account and sees your comments here will think anything other than 'insert_country_here apologist'? And that it happens on every story critical of china? Seriously it gets old.
- yourbandsucks 7y agoWhat IP did Huawei steal, specifically? Can you name it without googling? Scouts honor. It's not cool to accuse people of being Chinese shills, especially people with semi-obscure Greek names that they're very much in character of.
- zwaps 7y agoAfaik, without googling, they stole Cisco Ip which is even relevant here.
- DiogenesKynikos 7y agoAnd this is precisely my point. Huawei was accused in the early 2000s of stealing Cisco IP. They settled the issue quietly back then. Now, almost two decades later, after Huawei has spent billions in R&D and appears to be the market leader in 5G, all these old claims resurface, and the US government is quite openly trying to drive them out of business. Of course, by sheer coincidence, this happens while Trump is waging a trade war against China. And for the record, Diogenes couldn't be a shill for anyone. Diogenes is happy living in his barrel in the market, do he clearly isn't motivated by money.
- yourbandsucks 7y agoIt's like people don't even know what cosmopolitanism means anymore ;) I googled that Cisco case as well. One of their big claims was a copypasted impl of... strcmp.
