Trump has served the purpose, and now making a U-Turn.
China and Russia seem to have invested in the right guy this time. Big losers are US close allies. US enemies like China and Russia already know their enemy by its marrow.

Domestic chips to get a big boost

China is including domestic processors in its government procurement plans, as the nation steps up its effort to promote the application of homegrown chips in government agencies and State-owned enterprises.
The move is likely to put pressure on U.S. tech giant Intel Corp whose chips are now widely used in China's server market, experts said on Wednesday.
According to a proposal published on the official website of the Central Government Procurement Center, servers powered by domestic central processing units including Loongson, ShenWei and Phytium are included in China's government procurement plan for 2018-19.
This is the first time that homegrown chip-driven servers have been included in such a proposal, underlying China's determination to promote the application of domestic processors which are making steady progress in performance. State-owned enterprises and government agencies are important buyers of information technology equipment in China.
Loongson is the brand name for China's first self-developed general-purpose microprocessor. ShenWei is a homegrown CPU that powers Sunway TaihuLight, the world's fastest supercomputer. Phytium CPUs are developed by the National University of Defense Technology, a top military academy in China.

I do not know how much more helpful Mr. Trump could be. I believe he deserved the $500 million contract. Maybe even more.
