At some point in the future, somebody will look back to this action and say "That was our biggest dumb decision, ever!"
Rule Number One in Business: "Never, ever turn away a paying customer. Odds are that he will become your biggest competitor and ruin you."

- simonblack 6y agoTime will tell. Thumping Huawei is much like thumping Boeing. There will be big blowback. IMO it will be the destruction of the US's semiconductor business as China competes and then undercuts Intel, AMD, etc. and puts them out of business. That would probably lead to the decline of the Intel-Windows Software infrastructure, as the lead in software follows the lead in CPU hardware. It's the Law of Unintended Consequences that always comes back to bite you. Semiconductors will follow other industries like Textiles, Paper, Pharmaceuticals, Automobiles, Plastics and all the rest into oblivion. If you want to see the future of America, just look at how Britain got to where it is today. Just over one hundred years ago, Britain was the Number One superpower of its day with the biggest armed forces as well as the reserve currency of the world in its hot little hand. Not so much today.
