Re: Trump & ZTEThe Executive branch is showing no change in the "let's keep them guessing' tactics of policy and frequent back tracking and false moves. One wonders how this is going to affect not only U.S. economy and markets but global trade as well in coming years. It's going to be an interesting "experiment" that might result in positives or negative consequences that are not easy to measure.
Re: Trump & ZTEIt used to be "Think globally, act locally". Then in the US they changed it to "Think locally, act globally". Now some omit the redundant acts and simplify it further to "Locally, act globally".
Re: Trump & ZTEThere should be no deal, let the 100% ban remain on ZTE. Why worry about the impact on Chinese jobs etc. and even Isreali vendors or whoever it be? Did anyone worry when ZTE and Huawei were uprooting European jobs and wanted to do do the same in USA by trying to sell gear to US service providers? Huawei decimated Nokia Siemens who was the incumbent vendor at Vodafone Germany. Huawei offered to sell Mobile core network gear for free if VOD bought RAN from them, this led to massive job losses in Nokia Siemens. Let Zte and Huawei suffer, no need to shed tears on these deceptive Chinese vendors.
Re: Trump & ZTEFor weeks now we've been listening about impact of the ban on U.S. companies/vendors. But no news mentioned its (potential) impact on Israeli vendors. Are these being affected? If yes, what's their influence on possible lifting of the ban?
Trump & ZTEAmazingly, Trump even said today that he is considering a deal that would, among other things, FORCE ZTE to buy much of its "parts & equipment" from U.S. suppliers -- after the U.S. has banned it from doing just that. Full quote here: https://tinyurl.com/ya6adc97
Oh. I forgot. Never mind.
Dan, any news (or rumours) about it?
