The U.S. has no evidence that Chinese manufacturer Huawei can produce smartphones with advanced chips in large volume, U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said on Tuesday.

    So somehow the US, which was surprised and furious that Huawei was able to co-develop a 7nm SOC with SMIC, now says that actually, they can’t produce more than a small batch.

    Sounds like a whole lot of US cope lmao, how about the US gets back to us on Intel coming close to that.

      Just gonna reply to myself as Jerboa is buggy and keeps trying to mess up editing my comment.

      The quotes in this article are hilarious.

      The Commerce Department said this month it is working to obtain more information “on the character and composition” of the chip that may violate trade restrictions since they said it must have been made with U.S. technology.

      Some US exceptionalism there.

      Raimondo told the House Science Committee hearing she was upset by the advanced Huawei smartphone report.

      Lmao, cry harder that illegal sanctions don’t work

      The chairs of the House Foreign Affairs, Energy and Commerce, Armed Services, and select China committees last week urged the Commerce Department to stop granting licenses to Huawei and SMIC, and said it called for additional U.S. pressure “and more effective export controls on our adversaries.”

      Ah yes, just cut off everything, I’m sure that won’t push China to develop it in house, like with the very SOC that they’re so butthurt about!

      Raimondo also told reporters the apparent bans on some Chinese government official use of Apple’s (AAPL.O) iPhones by the Chinese government was “concerning.”

      Noooo you can’t do the same thing to us that we did to you!!!

        Or: ‘We’re going to reverse engineer the Chinese chip and backdate the US patents on the tech, then claim China stole it.’

        And this one, which highlights the problem:

        The U.S. government has said Huawei poses “unacceptable” national security risks because of the threat of spying on U.S. telecommunications networks.

        Honest subtitles

        Everyone at the Pentagon is hyped to get their hands on this new device because everyone hates the idea that their boss and co-workers get to spy on them through their Apple phones but also everyone is concerned that they won’t be able to spy on each other if they all get a Mate 60.

        We predict that so many five eyes security officials and civil and public servants will be camping outside the Huawei store to get their very own spyware-free device, Huawei won’t be able to keep up with demand. Checkmate, China #yourmove
