Donald Trump just Saved the U.S. 5G Industry from China

Gordon Chang | John Batchelor Show

Donald Trump, in only the 4th time in 70 years, disallowed the merger of Broadcom and QUALCOMM. Broadcom is the 5G leader out of Singapore with ties to Huawei, the giant Chinese electronics conglomerate that's also heavily tied to the PLA. The merger would have resulted in the dismantling of Qualcomm, with Broadcom and Huawei taking any advanced 5G technology and leaving the rest for scraps.

Hillary would have allowed it in a heartbeat. Her hubby just loved servicing the Chi-coms.

I’m wondering if the perpetually outraged dems will find a way to be outraged about this obviously excellent decision.

>>And he’s heading into Lincoln territory

I hope not!

[RipSawyer]

Yeah, the Donald must have stopped that merger the first time right after the doctor slapped his behind to make him breathe.

... And he’s heading into Lincoln territory...
Obama is the only president I dislike more than Lincoln.

“Hellary and Obama would have bought stock in the acquisition company and asked for free phones too.”

She certainly would have let the acquisition proceed, after a hefty “donation” to the Clinton fund...

“I hope not!”

Yep - he should have stopped at “beyond Reagan”.

Perhaps English is the author’s second language...? Could be.

Good. It’s tanking my stock in Qualcomm futures right now, but I am fine with it.

> Donald Trump just pushed past Ronald Reagan as my all time favorite president.

> Do you have a financial stake in this?

Nope, I just don’t like the idea of a foreign company taking over any American company. Especially when it involves American technology critical to our lifestyle and our security.

[b4its2late]

Yes, she would have at the detriment of our countries safety and security. Where does she think her grandkids are going to live? Maybe China?

[CatQuilt]

I agree with you. I would hope these guys wouldn’t divulge important info.

This was huge and no one will ever hear about it. Instead we have Russians Russians and did he consensual sex 12 years ago.

And where is the constitutional authority for federal organizations with total power over the U.S. commerce?

[central_va]

The Commerce Clause describes an enumerated power listed in the United States Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 3). The clause states that the United States Congress shall have power “To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes.”

There is no evidence for your claims about Intel. Intel has more plants and facilities in the U.S. than China. Intel’s chips are made in the U.S. The U.S. remains the leading producer and exporter of computer chips. Intel has expanded and built plants and R&D facilities in Oregon and Arizona in the last few years.
