    Yes but contrary to China, USA doesn’t use government subsidies to promote their own industries, or state owned companies to spy on the rest of the world. 🤪
    /S

    I hope Intel survives because a Chinese (mainland+Taiwan) monopoly will not be good, but I am so sick of American disinformation regarding China. Always blaming China for things USA has been guilty of for decades before China.

      Are you sure about that? US hardware is spying on the rest of the world for decades. Cisco is in no way better then huawei.

        Can you not see the crazy smiley? Clearly indicating the statement is crazy. It was sarcasm, but OK I’ll add the /S.

        Also the part that USA did it for decades before China should clearly indicate the part above was sarcasm???

          Reading comprehension is a skill. It seems like some people just glance at the words and make up what they expect to see. I have no idea how your comment could have been interpreted the way they did without a total disregard for the substance. Maybe they were reading it through an auto translation? Still, seems like the emoji is pretty obvious.
