The US is trying to cut off Huawei's global chip supply, China threatens retaliation

15 May 2020
The US Department of Commerce announced stricter rules for trade with China, affecting any company that uses US tech to manufacture chips.

If the world can't work together by now then it never will. Countries are actually becoming more insular and conservative. Humanity is regressing. It's depressing.

        This is going too far. I wouldn't be surprised if this lands up in court. It is like when they seized another companies mask supply they paid for, from another country. This is going to land up the Chinese making its own chip making technology, the US loosing control of that and most of the profit. The Chinese have massively invested in growing their own alternatives everytime the Americas have done this. It is heading towards costing the Americans trillions of dollars. The US, heading towards being a third world country.

        They have no right to restrict independent foreign companies from trading purely foreign country made parts, just because a paperwork hole punch they use was made in the US. Same thing as using any other formerly owned US equipment. It has passed ownership beyond the US.

          US think that they are the best in the world which they are not!,CHINA is more advance than the united state that is why they wants to silence them by all means,whether the US like it or not,China will soon take away the world power from US because they are the weakest in attacking their attackers

              The US is going too far,for me i called this wickerd we suffer because we can't see the future.I know all this is because of issues the Us is having with CHINA if US should cut off HUAWEI and CHINA cut the US off US will suffer the most china has more people to consume their product that every country in the world I LOVE HUAWEI,NO MATTER WHAT THEY MAY BE GOING TRUE HUAWEI IS STILL THE BEST PHONE I HAVE EVER USE IN THE WORLD.RIDE ON CHINA,AND HUAWEI.Y

                NotAnOpinion, 15 May 2020Another thing, that blind threat that China will retaliate ... moreChina won already. They will develop their own IP's while future is in open hardware. They won't lose jobs as a meter of fact they will produce more it just won't have any US prefix.

                  Dafuq man..if this is true..then it's overkill already..yeah i get it if it's only targeting huawei..but if it's involve its affiliates too, man...everything is involved..if a company as big as TSMC also affected...then Apple from the US itself is affected, Intel, Samsung, Nvidia, AMD, all other companies too...Oppo, Vivo etc etc...they may have not linked to Huawei directly, but somehow big companies usually have some kind of relationship with one another..they are linked to each other..supply, labor, raw materials, u name it..if Huawei can't do nothing on it's products anymore, if can affect other countries too..this is not only be US-China problem, this can be an all out world war..

                                        Retaliation of what?? Using licensed architecture doesn't mean you can make your own processor, stealing IP using widely available free source code without stipulate to the GPL (and others) and cheat your own people thinking its your own IP due to lock of information has bloat your own ego thinking you can do everything? Shutting down Apple, Amazon and others and go back to the pre 'free trade' market 25 years ago? Or going declare war vs near all others? Stop playing both power house and weak underdog card at the same time.
