> We're fighting chinese chipmakers I totally agree, and this is very wrong because it means the government is trying to pick winners. I like eink readers and phones from China, and I don't like it when daddy government tells me I can't plug a simcard in the device I purchased to use it on say AT&T network, while the device is compliant with international formats. If the government was so concerned about malicious non-compliance, they could prepare a doomsday removal of all "bad" devices IF AND WHEN they start doing bad things, with the same IMEI blacklist approach, and NOT BEFORE which is only going to hurt customers. Doing the IMEI blacklist before any device is caught doing bad things means it's just a commercial war.
