We are on a slippery slope of banning everyone: TikTok; Kaspersky, ... TP-Link.
Huawei was not banned, they were bullied out of the US market, and had restricted access to US technologies.
- _bin_ 2y agoslippery slope? i think curtailing china's access to US networks and data, as well as crippling her tech sector, is a great goal. this is one step along the path, not another foot downhill.
- nashashmi 2y agoIm all for crippling tech advancements in other countries. It’s wrong when we do it by bullying and abusing our powers. Instead we should have the foresight to attract their best talent. This we don’t do as much like we used to before the Bush years.
- _bin_ 2y agoi don't think it's wrong. you can't fight a bad-faith actor with good-faith actions. china has built an entire nation off lying, cheating, and stealing. we shouldn't be bound to respond by only being nice. attracting her best talent works better when the CPC doesn't hold families hostage. because of that, we are unable to trust most chinese nationals.
