Seems that the easy war with China is not that easy. So now the WH is resorting to other means to put pressure on China. This will backfire as the WH is trying really hard to make US less relevant. By actively using weapon that were previously seen as a huge deterrent, you make them a short term problem for China, but they will find a way around them and make them ineffective. The WH is fighting will almost all major economies (apart SA, Israel, and brexit Britain), and it's going to end pretty badly. I will be very surprised if we don't get a market crack before end of next year.

- nosuchthing 7y agoIsn’t bitmain ramping down production already though?
- ulfw 7y agoMost of this Trump idiocy will backfire on the US. Tiny example of today: https://www.cnet.com/news/huawei-is-apparently-already-making-5g-base-stations-without-us-parts/ https://www.cnet.com/news/huawei-is-apparently-already-makin... How does having no US parts benefit America here exactly? Having one day a non-Android competitor that the largest Android manufacturers of the world (Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, Oneplus, Xiaomi) might use will benefit the US how? Having Chinese homegrown chips one day will benefit the US how? etc etc I get that something might have to be done. This certainly isn't the way.
- detritus 7y ago> The WH is fighting will almost all major economies (apart SA, Israel, and brexit Britain), I suspect us mugs here in Brexit Britain are simply being buttered up so we can get properly buggered against our wishes, and it won't be on some artsy Parisian floor, it'll be on the world stage with our pants down.
