        dbjungle, 07 Jan 2021I wonder what's in WPS OfficeIt's only because it's one of the best office packages out. Te US companies perceive it as a threat to their revenue dominance of US equivalent products.

                        Again US have nothing to do.
                        They should ban themselves for making people lives difficult.

                          Even a broken clock (on a stick of mayo smeared TNT) is correct twice a day.

                          Banning Chinese apps does not help assuage, but neither does it amount to "Tradewars". It makes sense for US, and also any other country, to ban Chinese apps (all rhetoric aside) to simply further the economic well-being of competitor apps not belonging to a hostile state.

                          China has been playing from this rule book, taking it many steps further even, by either forcing all foreign corps to come under the complete oversight of the CCP or get no pass to even work inside China. Why should the rest of the world play by China's "Rules for thee, not for me" BS?

                            Meanwhile the US based apps keep on changing their privacy and data collection policies, knowing that their apps are an essential part

                              Trump leaves office in 13 days (despite his reluctance). Biden will overturn the ban and remove Trump's stooges in the Department of Commerce. The ban will amount to nothing.

Trade ... moreTrade wars has never generated problems in our globalized and connected world. The only ones affected by this ban are probably mainlanders (who, surprise, they dont like the USA), so you shouldnt even be worried about this.
