New phone sparks worry China has found a way around U.S. tech limits (www.washingtonpost.com)

As Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo was visiting China earlier this week, a sea-green Chinese smartphone was quietly launched online.

It was no normal gadget. And its launch has sparked hushed concern in Washington that U.S. sanctions have failed to prevent China from making a key technological advance. Such a development would seem to fulfill warnings from U.S. chipmakers that sanctions wouldn’t stop China, but would spur it to redouble efforts to build alternatives to U.S. technology.

Ah, who else does that logic apply to? We should treat South Korea the same as DPRK because they're all Korean, right? It's easy for Koreans to spy on other Koreans since they're all the same. And DPRK intends to one day annex South Korea! Ditto for Ukraine and Russia. I bet we can do a lot of these, where we racially categorize nations based on western cultural ideas that have nothing to do with local political conditions and declare them to be the same.

Fuck allll the way off you fucking racist fuck.

Are straw men all you have? When did I say we should treat Taiwan the same as China? I said they are the same culture and history. The same situation exists for Korea.

Anyway, you are just looking for a fight, so I'm disengaging since nothing I say will change your understanding of what I said.
