The way trumps mind works he'll probably order an invasion shortly after the recession starts thinking that he can go in there, take Iran's oil and thus kickstart the economy again. He's a pathetic idiot.Classic US to plunge the world into another recession. I just wonder whether it will be before or after they invade Iran.
lol we absolutely are, but keep on telling yourself thatI never said the us spying on its own citizen was cool just said that it's nonsense to use that as a reason that we should accept Chinese spying.
And no, we aren't heading toward a single party govt.
Bingo. A lot of people say that China exploited the companies that set them up as the world's primary manufacturer, but those companies exploited their labor while depressing the population back home. It's not like those companies gave a shit about Chinese labor conditions either. Hell, a vast majority still don't.One could frame it as you taking a risk exploiting underpaid manufacturing workers and getting burned. Of course it's often the only choice a small business has these days, but that just means it's a cutthroat world both ways.
As recently as 2008 the dems held all houses. But keep telling yourself that the US is sliding totally to the right. Never mind the dems just easily took back the House and the president despite a great economy has awful approval ratings.
the GOP can gerrymander their way to victory in every election from now until the end of the republic and the supreme court, which is increasingly just an arm of the GOP will back them up every time. to say nothing of the fact that as red states keep getting depopulated the electoral map will become even more favorable to republican presidential candidates.Lol keep drinking the doomeraide and spitting out iamsmart view points.

give me one piece of evidence to contradict any of that since you're super smart and definitely not a panglossian liberal with no skin in the game
yeah the US isn't sliding rightward, great take dudeAs recently as 2008 the dems held all houses. But keep telling yourself that the US is sliding totally to the right. Never mind the dems just easily took back the House and the president despite a great economy has awful approval ratings.
Man the PRC defense force isn't trying hard at all anymore. Just throwing out nonsense in the hopes no one will call them on it.
The U.S. has a lot of problems but to suggest it is heading toward one party rule is absurd and seems to indicate you are not seeing what is going on around you. Tossing out your paranoia isn't helping anything.

Thanks! We agree on that. Now imagine living in a country that does shitty things and there's absolutely nothing the citizenry can do about it. That's the country you're defending. You're doing it poorly, but you're doing it.
What's stopping huawei from continuing regardless and China turning a blind eye?
It's not. The US is further left now, and going further, than ever before. The majority of the country is left of center.
That's already happening for many companies in many different sectors - they're moving manufacturing out of China.Next up. Move the manufacturing to Vietnam and India like countries. Put the squeeze on China

Sucks hard for the small guy, but that frustration should be targeted at the people that are fucking the Chinese labor as well as domestic labor, but here we are pointing our finger at China because the help doesn't get to get a seat at the table.
China is getting hit significantly harder (like it's not close). If someone is going to "blink", it will likely be them. Regardless, hopefully some kind of deal get struck soon.I am starting to wonder if China or the US will blink on this idiotic trade war or if neither will back down and this will be our new normal for the next few years.
The Chinese aren't exploiting US workers and the "help" in that sentence is referring to the Chinese becoming a peer on the world stage instead of an easily exploitable labor force that will do anything for a dollar.Why are you giving the Chinese government a pass for abusing their domestic labor? They're not allowing the little guy at their table, either. They're working with American companies hand in hand to do this.
Pretty much. China has already long blocked many major US entities and nobody cares, but when the US finally takes action against Huawei, people flip out.

Thanks for the straw though.
Trump really wants to win that trade war and get reelected.. I know China isn't completely innocent here but if they give in to US demands then trump will be assured reelection, that's all it comes down to. Companies are being pressured by the state department to cut ties with Huawei most likely so trump can force china to sign a trade agreement completely favoring the US in exchange for lifting pressure on Huawei.
Actually I wouldn't be surprised if they manage to legitimately lawyer that out. Say, there's a clause that they get full rights if ARM stops existing or something, and they can claim this is such a something.
I think it is going to be hard for either side to back down and be seen as the 'loser'.China is getting hit significantly harder (like it's not close). If someone is going to "blink", it will likely be them. Regardless, hopefully some kind of deal get struck soon.
This is so perfectly on point. I hope it makes certain posters reflect.
I think it is going to be hard for either side to back down and be seen as the 'loser'.
I don't know how they can manipulate it so that both sides can say the other back down and declare themselves the winner. We have put them in a corner and I wonder how it ends.
You might be right that China just lays down, but somehow I am doubtful of that happening.
Which party won the last elections we held as a country
Right? "There Will Be Conflict" seemed to indicate Huawei/China will not back down
Again, eventually they will strike a deal, and both sides can spin it easily however they want. In the mean time, though, China is getting wrecked by this trade war, while it's been little more than an inconvenience to the US and the west.I think it is going to be hard for either side to back down and be seen as the 'loser'.

Because we're talking about 2 completely different things on 2 completely different scales and I was describing the relationship between US capital with domestic/foreign labor.I wasn't talking about the US workers, why are you ignoring what they're doing to their own people?
Ok, you are a PRC shill. Thanks, now we know not to take you seriously at all.
China bans those services IN China, the US bans is affecting everyone.
Didn't Trump say that trade wars are easy. So he was right then. If he get's China on it's knees he will get reelected. And rightly so. Because this is a very big deal.China is getting hit significantly harder (like it's not close). If someone is going to "blink", it will likely be them. Regardless, hopefully some kind of deal get struck soon.
Receipts for stealing?Awesome. Hope Huawei and any company that steals shit like they do burns to the ground.
Yikes.
It's not going to get China "on its knees", but eventually some kind of deal will likely get made, and both sides can spin who won to their liking.Didn't Trump say that trade wars are easy.

This is fucked up and unjustifiable.
China is not going to like this and the whole tech sector is gonna get fucked.
Thanks Trump I guess.
foregin policy, economics and infosec genious steve bannon weighs in
There is so much compliance and supply chain oversight this is basically not remotely true. The federal US government buys most if not all of its compute and storage hardware from Dell EMC, for this sole purpose as zero percent of their server line hardware is sourced from China and they have unreal supply chain QA and regulation.100% this. US just wants exclusivity in their spying and spying equipment.
If that is the case why hasn't it been done yet?Again, eventually they will strike a deal, and both sides can spin it easily however they want. In the mean time, though, China is getting wrecked by this trade war, while it's been little more than an inconvenience to the US and the west.
