It's finally nice to see some effort against blatant IP infringement from China. Tbh, that kinda lack of decency should be less allowed the more the time passes, not revived again by a nation held up by literal quantity and 0 quality

It's like 20 years too late for the US government to be taking Chinese IP theft seriously, but at least they (and US companies) are finally realizing how fucked things will be if they keep going as if it isn't happening. No amount of access to the Chinese market is worth the fact that 5 years later some Chinese startup will be running with a stolen copy of your product that the government will back in copyright lawsuits, forcing you out of the market they let you create.

I'm basically just waiting for the inevitable retaliation against US tech companies (say, Apple) whose products are wholly or largely manufactured by Chinese companies.

It has nothing to do with copyright infringement. It has everything to do with security.

Every security agency has warned about using Huawei devices, including the FBI and CIA and the NSA.

Huawei is a state run company with deep ties to the Chinese government. Securities experts have found malware in many of Huawei's devices. All their devices are vulnerable to be tracked by the Chinese government.

I mean China has a billion people are entire companies dedicated to shilling on behalf of the country. I would expect ANY major criticism of them to be filled with defenders.

Reached for comment, a Google spokesperson said only We are complying with the order and reviewing the implications. The order, in this case, appears to be the US Commerce Departments recent decision to place Huawei on the Entity List, which as Reuters reports is a list of companies that are unable to buy technology from US companies without government approval.

So this is actually way more severe than I had thought. The government ban is effectively going to kill the company unless China strikes some kind of deal with the US.

https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-48345509

Last year, Huawei released a list of its core suppliers and it included 33 US companies. As well as Google having to pull back on supplying its version of Android, major US technology suppliers including Xilinx, Qualcomm, Broadcom and Intel have all warned they will need to stop selling their technology to Huawei in order to comply with the ban.
