By singling out Micron, Beijing is sending an unmistakable message: companies aiding and abetting Washington should think twice.

    I think it’s especially funny that the U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo made the comment, that it won’t be tolerated by the U.S. This whole trade war is a double-edged sword for both countries.

    U.S. bans TikTok over data privacy claims, now China bans Micron chips in their critical infrastructure, If the U.S. bans something, it’s cool and justified but If China does that, it’s terrible and “how could they, they don’t have proof”.

        I would have liked to hear the reasoning of the person, without being interrupted by the interviewer. Asking follow-up questions is very important, but interrupting one’s explanation is contra productive.

        So what I understood from the video is, that the U.S. has a “transparency framework”, and China doesn’t have that, and that’s why the U.S. is allowed to ban China’s technology, but not the other way around.

        Furthermore, I hope people realize that the video has been cut at the end, to make it appear that the interviewed person leaves the platform after being asked that question.

        Thank you for sharing :)

          The reality is that everybody knows that US bans Chinese companies in order to hobble China technologically and economically. US officials say this openly. China is retaliating in kind now and turns out US can dish it out but can’t take it. At the end of the day US can’t dictate to China what technology China will use or what companies they will work with. Deciding that is China’s sovereign right.
