US does the right thing over Xiaomi blacklisting
A couple of months after a US judge overturned Trump’s decision to blacklist Chinese gadget giant Xiaomi, the US government has moved to make it official.
Placing Xiaomi on the list of companies that should be shunned by the US on the grounds that they might, in some unspecified way, assist the Chinese military, was one of the last acts of the Trump presidency. At the time it felt like a fit of pique by a man frustrated by the poor return yielded by four years of such activities and soon after he was voted out of office a judge confirmed it was a flawed action.
Now, according to a Bloomberg report, the US Defense Department has got around to conceding the Judge’s point. “The Parties have agreed upon a path forward that would resolve this litigation without the need for contested briefing,” a filing with US courts reportedly said. Xiaomi doesn’t seem to have commented this time, but markets are responded positively to the news.
While this was clearly the right thing to do, US policy on Chinese companies remains muddled. Earlier this week it was reported that the three Chinese telcos will be delisted from the NYSE for reasons that seem no more substantial than the original Xiaomi one. Either the US is committed to legal due process or it isn’t. If merely being Chinese is the only evidence they need to blacklist a company then why don’t they just ban the lot of them and be done with it?
The civilized world needs to decouple from the Chinese Communist Party.
This proves that US has a system to make the county healthy and democratic. On the other hand, corrupt Chinese communist party remains 19C Totalitarianism.
What do you expect from a country that blocks Facebook, google and Winnie the Pooh?

“In most of China, women are being urged to have more babies to shore up a falling birthrate. But in Xinjiang, they are being forced to have fewer.”
China is the enemy of the nations.
China bans Google, Facebook and Winnie the Pooh via authoritarian edict (although in my experience more benign than the anti-China propaganda we lap up in the West). The US bans Huawei and the Chinese operators by bending democratic and legal due process out of all recognition. This is not a good situation for any of us, and picking sides is making it worse.
Please keep on supporting the bullying communist country with whole your heart. There must be a reason to so, as Nazi was supported by German. The corruption comes from the mixture of Chinese culture and Communism that you just cannot admit.
I bet you would support any other decisions that China made.
