pretty shocking how biased these hn comments are against china. it's clear the US has lost leadership in the crucial technology of 5g and is trying everything it can to stop the leader, huawei. while i'm no china-phile, the US actions is just silly and will have far reaching consequences that will just quicken the demise of our technological prowess. and if you're gonna argue from the point of view that huawei broke the law, then let them have their day in court. we're acting like judge, jury and executioner. how is that right?? shows up hn as a bunch of biased tech bros! let the downvotes begin

> pretty shocking how biased these hn comments are against china. And it took only a few years of media campaigns- the first one I remember was the announcement of spy chips in China-made boards, which turned out to be fake. It's scary how quickly you can steer public opinion to suit your needs.

  It's actually been a long time coming: Tiananmen, South China Sea, Hong Kong protests, threats against Taiwan, Uyghurs, Tibet, Surveillance State, Authoritarian ruler for life, IP thefts, currency manipulation, shooting down satellites, lop-sided market access and more.

How is that a bad thing? Would you rather see HN support a country with literal ethnic cleansing policies? Or one that executes dissenters or makes them disappear? Btw, China does not have the technical lead in 5G. Just the cheaper equipment. And chinese tech is barely able to reproduce 8-10 years old semiconductor technology on it's own, so it's very very far from technological lead. Unless you believe the CCP narrative that they will magically outpace America/the west by barely being able to catch up despite the enormous scale of their industrial espionage.
