Do other countries put US hardware and software companies on blacklists for their involvement with DoD? If so, then I think quite a few major US tech companies would be unable to do business outside the US and Europe.

- coldtea 4y agoThey would if the US wasn't more powerful than them, and didn't have them in their pocket.

- stefan_ 4y agoChina has just about banned any foreign software services? They can't ban the hardware, of course. While in the US finding a Chinese part in military hardware is a reason to stop the line, they rely extensively on US parts.

- z9znz 4y agoThat is considerably different from blacklisting an entire company.
- karambyt 4y agoThe US has ITAR. If you have certain government contracts you are prohibited from selling products or providing access to certain foreign nations (blacklists), or a complete export blanket ban. For instance, I recently started investing in an excitingly expensive hobby, night vision. The tubes in those things are so heavily restricted that I cannot even let a foreign national touch them, technically. Which makes it interesting considering my girlfriend is a Tunisian foreign national here on a work visa, so technically I cannot show her my cool new toys I spent thousands of dollars on.
