U.S. government staff told to treat Huawei as blacklisted

I don&#x27;t see an issue if the US Government themselves wants to not use certain companies (foreign or otherwise).<p>The issue is when the US Government tries to tell private US Companies who and how they should do business with certain foreign companies, and forgets to provide any actual evidence for their assertions.<p>This all could be avoided by simply publishing what Huawei is meant to have done. Otherwise it just strikes of a trade-war&#x2F;protectionism but using &quot;cyber security&quot; as a justification.

This whole on-again off-again relationship is incredibly unusual. Strange times we live in.

Huawei has been seen as a shady actor for over a decade now. It was during Obama&#x27;s term that the House Intelligence Committee deemed Huawei a national security threat.

Trump said last Friday that the issue of Huawei will be saved for the very end of US-China trade talks.

Once you have shown your hand, now the other side has a number of new contingencies to address over the coming years. Even if you strike a deal with them, you are putting off the inevitable. It&#x27;s like Trump started a half-ass war that he was not really interested in even seeing through his term, more than long term. Don&#x27;t think we have seen frenemies since before WWI.

I am surprised how any Chinese companies came this far into the west, theyre all just communist arms disguised as big corps. Kudos to the chinese, its difficult to pull this off
