Why the /s though?
It's obvious some countries actually promote monopolies, especially when they go global.
- fortuna86 4y agoLike Huawei. China wants them to have a monopoly everywhere on earth. Alibaba had nothing to do with being a monopoly, it became a power base to rival the government so it had to be broken and scattered.
- Animatronio 4y agoHuawei, Gazprom, Google, Facebook, probably each G7 country has a champion it wants to rule the field.
- fortuna86 4y agoDoes any western government activity promote monopolies abroad and threaten consequences if such monopolies are fought against, all while accepting state-backed monopoly at home? https://www.wsj.com/articles/china-threatens-retaliation-against-ericsson-if-sweden-doesnt-drop-huawei-5g-ban-11620740192 https://www.wsj.com/articles/china-threatens-retaliation-aga... To recap, the Alibaba break up wasn't about a monopoly, it was about a rival power base to the CCP that couldn't be allowed to exist.

- Animatronio 4y agoThe same way Huawei sells 5G equipment as Ericsson, Nokia, et al.
- fortuna86 4y agoOnce you build a 5G system with Huawei, it's very hard and sometimes impossible to include other equipment. Huawei for this reason builds a "full-stack" 5G product that doesn't allow for anyone else's hardware but theirs. And again, Ericsson and Nokia don't have nation states threatening countries if they don't use them in all their networks.
