it hasn't been banned.

they keep pushing it back, much like the huawei ban that has just faded away and everyone forgot was even a thing because it was entirely and completely meaningless.

The reason consists entirely of "it might pose a threat to national security in a manner that has not yet been realized and we're not actually entirely sure what it would be but it definitely could so nyeh," which is incredibly vague and could be used to justify banning pretty much any foreign electronic device or software. It's really never been anything more than Trump trying to score anti-China points with his base by "hitting back" at them in completely meaningless ways. He's just poking at a low-hanging fruit.

they have been, yes.

and, like i said, it's entirely and completely meaningless, because they're still allowed to ship and sell products in the united states.

because, as it turns out, the government, and many other telecommunication companies, have invested large amounts of money into them for their networking infrastructure. also, not even a week after trump signed the executive order that was supposed to ban then, he turned immediately around and granted them a 90 day reprieve from it, which was extended three times, and then a fourth one that was only 45 days. they also then rolled out a program that companies could sign to be allowed to work with huawei.

and since then, nothing has changed. rural telecommunication companies are the only ones effect by it, it seems, because after all the reprieves trump banned them from working with huawei in their entirety.

ITP: National security, trade secrets, intellectual properties, etc, are "entirely and completely meaningless"

Otherwise the ban is still being enacted. It didn't just "go away," although people stopped caring as much.

Well, they'd certainly never lock up doctors who tried to warn the world about COVID... oh wait.

So you have 1 kid or more because you said they'll. Also why would you give your child/children away? They see how much of a Timmy their daddy is?

Seriously, at this point its probably just easier for you to get an education instead of being so predictable. But no, I dont have kids. Also they isnt exclusively plural, but if youd work on that education youd know that.



Its almost impressive youre that goddamn dumb that youre that predictable.

And this is just the shit that took me a few minutes to find. Just had to look through the posts of you whining about liberals, crying about Trudeau, and acting like you make 6 figures a year.
