Losing the battle, Trump goes nuke on Huawei

. . . .
There is a reason why China only responded with a middle finger now, they were buying time to prepare for the worst. I believe ZTE also resolved their parts problem, operation sparetire officially activated.
ZTE's management is a bunch of morons. I've deal with them before.

It is the opposite. To get itself removed from the entity list, ZTE agreed to actually increase its dependence on US chips by buying more of them.

You know they just got banned from buying US components right? Boy genius. The original deal was paying fines and agree not to supply Iran not buy more US components. I thought you were smarter than the average yindoo. Just another Modi drone

No they didn't. The ban on buying US components is only for Huawei, not ZTE!

Now will you for once accept that you are wrong or misinformed?

They got banned from buying US components only a few months ago, isn't that recently? Since when was I talking about Huawei ban. Who in their right minds would continue to buy US components when they just got blackmailed? ZTE is directly owned by the Chinese state genius.

The deal was to pay fines and appoint compliance officer not buy more US components, please show me a clause that says that genius. Gosh you are thick.

Stand strong China you have to weather the storm, eventually, we all know US companies run the show in America so switch off their profit tap and you'll see how much trouble they'll give Trump in the next election. Patience and planning will make you win not emotional reactions.

My favourite phones have been from Samsung and Huawei. They are of the same caliber.
It is my favourite Chinese company for sure.

ZTE should have had a similar spare tire strategy. It's interesting in the sense that it runs contrary to JIT/lean manufacturing principles, but sacrificing holding costs and a bit of component obsolescence as they age is well worth it to maintain manufacturing continuity.

But hardware isn't the only play the US could use to hit Huawei, restrictions to software could be the next move. Although android is open source, google play and other proprietary apps/platforms aren't and could be subject to US transfer of tech bans. This won't effect Huawei phones in China, but without access to the google play app store in all other markets will render them comparatively unusable to other phones. This could damage Huawei's market share in developed markets far more than the Tariffs or restrictions on any hardware.

tencent working on it.. i bet soon they will launching their own OS if US banned android

US can't ban android, it's open source. Its the google app store that they can restrict access to. Developing a competing OS would also require a new global App store, so why do both.

Its actually going to be more difficult to replace and compete with the app store than the OS because of the licensing for third party developers.
