Trumpistan exposed, 12 Jan 2020Don't forget the deep pockets of the American treasury devo... morelmao! Most hilarious conspiracy theory I've heard for the past year!
>the deep pockets of the American treasury
The American treasury doesn't even have deep pockets. Look how much debt the US is racking up each year.
>evidence against NSA spying
The NSA is a government agency and their spying is *classified*, just like China MSS's spying. However, if by making this comparison you're suggesting Huawei, the clean white lotus, takes part in MSS's spying, I won't disagree.
>by all means necessary
The meaning behind this phrase is fundamentally different between a democracy with a legal system established by representatives of the people, where they actually have a choice, and a monarchy with a legal system established by puppets of Emperor Pooh elected through single-candidate processes and only know how to vote "yes".
>Google spying on their users to create profiles
It's called data mining, and Google is one of the most forthcoming companies about this, and gives users among the greatest freedom to decide what data to provide to Google, OTOH Chinese apps like WeChat are simply spyware and the contents of your conversations quickly turn into personalized recommendations stalking you in shopping apps and entertainment apps. There is no opting out.
>no proof whatsoever has been presented
What intelligence the government obtains through *classified channels* remain *classified*, unlike Huawei who regularly commands its army of censors to delete evidence against it *in the public domain*.
And don't try to change the subject. Huawei sold to Iran through a shell violating the sanction. That's reason enough for them to make the entity list.
What's more, there are hundreds of companies on that list aside from Huawei, just from China alone, even Canada has a few! Don't forget to spin a conspiracy for each and every one of them!

>You'll see, once Trump is done with Huawei, he'll try to kick Samsung's ass
lol anonymous, you'd better write this with an account so we could all laugh at you when you get slapped in the face.
>The market share of any other brands is ridiculously little (1-2%)
You say this as if Huawei's ever broken 1% in the smartphone market in the US. I don't believe it ever has. In other markets, there are many other brands that are above "1-2%".

S Yu, 03 Jan 2020Still trolling along I see?
Don't forget the deep pockets ... moreDon't forget the deep pockets of the American treasury devoted to erasing all evidence against NSA spying by all means necessary.
Just that they messed up once, and Edward Snowden escaped their clutches, bringing along a ton of evidence of NSA spying. What came out however is only the tip of the iceberg of NSA and other US government spying.
Thus, there's lots of solid evidence of NSA spying, and Google spying on their users to create profiles and sell them to advertisers and whoever else is already an old hat.
However, even more than half a year Trump invented the myth of Huawei spying, just so he can ban them, no proof whatsoever has been presented - because THERE IS NO PROOF. If they had any proof at all, they would've presented it right when they accused Huawei of spying.
Trump started this with Huawei, because he thought he could get away with it easily. Then he wanted to use this as a precedent to go after the real target - Samsung, and force them out of the market with the same entirely invented accusations as with Huawei.
You'll see, once Trump is done with Huawei, he'll try to kick Samsung's ass, so the American market will be entirely dominated by Apple only as the sole American brand.
The market share of any other brands is ridiculously little (1-2%), so it's not worth the effort to go after them.

Yeah US people buy Samsung and Apple ignoring everything else or is there even anything else they can buy? My toughs here is that most people probably buy outside carriers if they want something else... =/

GAMERMAN, 04 Jan 2020Seems you are the one doing that currently. There is no nee... moreDon't think people wouldn't notice, every time you troll for Huawei, you get 2 upvotes. If you don't troll for Huawei, you don't get upvotes. That's pretty obvious astroturfing.
Since you've repeatedly trolled for Huawei and repeatedly got your trolling deleted you're obviously the troll, and worry about your own logic, "Mate20X got high audio scores at DXO therefore Mate30P must have superior audio", says @GAMERMAN the Huawei troll.
Evidence struggles to survive in a country with a monarch sitting on the throne dictating what's black or white and his band of puppets in the People's Congress elected through single-candidate elections commanding an army of censors deleting whatever evidence against Huawei as "violation of relevant laws and regulations".

Good! I hope to see more & more people to switch to iPhone as Samsung phones become lag fest & slow more faster than the rate they release their phones. Not to forget poor & third class Software support.

Luckily in Europe you can choose which smartphone you can buy, I bought an Xperia 1 for $ 400 on Vodafone with a 50 "TV as a gift

The US government should make a law suit to both this company for anti-competitive law just like how Apple and Google is facing fines elsewhere.
