The president strikes back: Trump blocks shipments of semiconductors to China's Huawei
The Washington Times ^ | May 15, 2020 | Dave Boyer

President Trump moved on Friday to block shipments of semiconductors to Chinese giant Huawei Technologies from global chipmakers, a step that could escalate tensions with Beijing.

The Commerce Department announced it is amending an export rule to “strategically target Huawei’s acquisition of semiconductors that are the direct product of certain U.S. software and technology.”

Huawei uses semiconductors to make its smartphones. The company has warned that the Chinese government would retaliate if the U.S. took the action.

My guess is Qualcomm, followed by xilinx.

Maybe there's a reason the Chinese virus kills off:

the old (Chinese tend to feel older people have wisdom)... AND are more conservative and will support President Trump rather than China's favorite son: Biden

and men (Chinese men need women for the overabundance of single men in China)...

and minorities... (Chinese are racist)...

and the virus doesn't damage the land... (Chinese feel they need more land to expand to...

and the virus destroys the American economy if they can't kill off enough of us to 'move in'...

Not saying it's a designer bio-weapon, but it fits the Chinese culture totalitarian wish list... and it IS odd how quickly China tied up the market on PPE - making it easier for the virus to kill off health care workers..

Just saying...

---------------------------------------------------------------

It's too late to do tracking...

What we need is 'See something odd, Say something'... See a small order of nursing home supplies wrapped overly tight - excess cellophane - airtight etc - call Homeland - it's a possible bio-weapon spreader...

Plan for the worst (intentional bio-weapon attack.) Hope for the best (current plan)...

“The company has warned that the Chinese government would retaliate if the U.S. took the action.”

What are they going to do...send another virus?

What happens to bullies when their victims won’t kow tow? They will dig themselves deeper until folding is harsh and painful.
