We need to kill Huawei first, with some collateral damages to others, so that Huawei cannot do bad things to us in the future, even though there is no evidence or court ruling that Huawei is hacking anyone at this moment. Last time it was I

Fedex diverted huawei’s packet through the US by mistake. China telecom diverted internet packets through China because it must be hacking. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18385920

China only bans foreign companies in its domestic markets. Trump is dictating whom third parties can do business with. For example, European firms have to cut normal business ties with huawei, otherwise they will be sanctioned by the US. An

The Chinese company certainly deserves the blame and shame, but Much criticism focuses on Chinese trademark system. What can we reasonably expect it to do anything here? Should it check with every foreign company when a trademark is filed?

Seriously this issue has nothing to do with Chinese IP system. Any trademark troll can register their trademark and send a takedown request to Apple. In this specific case, Apple decides to take down the app because the trademark is registe

Not saying every word Huawei founder says can be fully trusted. The problem is that his statements are extremely misrepresented.

Right after saying “there will be conflict”, Ren said China and the US will eventually hug each other on the “summit of technology” and make contributions to the humanity together.

This is really a misleading interpretation. In the original context, he meant Huawei will buy products regardless if they are made by Chinese or US suppliers. One doesn’t need to trust everything Huawei claims, but taking quotes without pro

> Confronting China on this today is the US asking China not to undermine the global system that has helped enrich China. Unfortunately, to the current US administration, confronting China is not a means to change China's behavior f

IRS can ask dell (with certain legal procedures) to unlock your dell laptop without you providing your password. It can’t do the same for Huawei devices. That’s a big difference.

There is no perfect security in this world. You can only mitigate your risk exposure. If you have substantial business interests in China, you’d prefer a non Chinese brand laptop. If you are more worried about IRS going after your financial

China is not profiting much from the world wide web like Google or Facebook. It mainly profits from its domestic intranet. Your suggestion is also ironic; how could further disconnecting China help to prevent China from blocking other count

How do you know the second is referring to carrier killer missile? I have seen something like Doug Freeman at Apt 26. I think you wanted to show that Chinese people are not friendly, but the comment only reveals the xenophobia sentiment amo

It’s better to put some vpn resources on their websites. Don’t tell people what is “bad” like authoritarian governments do; let them see what’s beyond the firewall and decide for themselves.

This seems a straw man argument. Whataboutism is not necessarily to neutralize critism. It is to show that sometimes China or a particular entity is held to a unreasonably high standard. How high the standard for GDP calculation is for deba

Severing economic ties at whose expense? Christians in China? Poor people in the US? It’s easy to claim moral superiority if someone else has to foot the bill. What is even more dangerous is to link religion freedom to the ongoing trade war
