Ban against Chinese companies is not an effort to inflame a trade dispute. It is an effort to address legitimate concerns about human rights abuses & our national security.

Yes it will inflame tensions with #China but that is not why we are doing ithttps://t.co/ZkTHZNeEio

To anyone in tech who feels their job is safe from Trump’s counterproductive trade war: It is not.

It is entirely possible China will retaliate against Apple, Google, Broadcom and other American tech companies. This could seriously damage our economy. https://t.co/fK04tGwsrK

2/ If intelligence agencies have concerns that Huawei is spying on the US, they need to show evidence.

Huawei has said they are willing to allow their hardware and software to undergo auditing to verify that it’s free of spyware. Taking them up on this would be productive.

Not a China fan but, frankly, there are many, many huge holes in the offensive against Huawei.

ARM has halted all contracts and business with Huawei. This is a major blow to Huawei as without ARM designs it can't create its own processors. It might just be ARM being cautious, but if not then Huawei is dead and buried if US keeps this up https://t.co/vhp55Dzi5V pic.twitter.com/N6jeInfQey

Huawei was about trade & security, but Hikvision is about deconstructing China's in-progress mass imprisonment & social genocide programs by barring Google & Co from providing supporting tech.
This cuts to the core of Beijing's political management system. https://t.co/qlUonI015R

If Arm China is really blocked from supplying IP to Huawei then it's a death blow. Pretty much everything Huawei does runs on Arm. I currently suspect some mistake. The whole point of Arm China is to insulate mainland fablesses from US trade war stuff https://t.co/lXhoYWlbkp
