US Forces Smartphone Giant ZTE To Fire Its CEO, Leadership Team (arstechnica.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: The Chinese smartphone giant ZTE has completely replaced its corporate leadership, naming new people to be CEO, CTO, CFO, and several vice presidents. The new CEO of ZTE will be Xu Ziyang, a former head of ZTE's German operations who has worked at the company for two decades. The move comes a week after ZTE named a new board of directors. The U.S. government demanded that ZTE make these changes as a condition of lifting a crippling export ban against the company.
CEO becomes CTO, CTO -> CFO, CFO -> CEO.
Trump Administration: OK, you're good!
Well, this company did specifically break various embargoes on trading with countries like Iran.
As for why we're specifically doing business with ZTE and agreeing to import their stuff again, that might have something to do with the patents that were issued at the same time for Ivanka's products. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/0...
1. U.S.A. government demand, backed by crippling export ban
2. China government wants crippling export ban removed
3. China government controls Chinese companies, unlike the U.S.A. where companies control the government

The "National Security" Loophole in our legal system.
I am less annoyed with Trump, but the Republican "Leadership" who is looking the other way and explaining away why all good points of the Republican Ideal is systematically being destroyed.
I use to be a Republican, however the party in the past 18 years had slowly empowered the worst in their party, and discredited the moderate voices in the party as not being conservative enough, or American enough.
I am all for Lower Taxes, Religious Liberties, Open Trade, and reasonable regulations.
I am not for Lowering Taxes without finding a way to pay for needed services.
I am not for allowing for people of different faiths or none to be openly discriminated against, or bullied into thinking they are in the wrong.
I am not for Trading harmful goods, or allowing trading partners to play by a different sets of rules.
I am not for just getting rid of regulations because they are there and may be hard to follow.
The debate has moved from logical reasons for taking policy, to attacking ways of life, that we as Americans should feel feel to follow whatever way of life we feel that we should follow.
I used to be a Republican, I didn't leave the party, the party rejected me and left me on my own. In the two party system right now the Democrats, are no more centrist then the Republicans are. However they are more rational on views. And currently voting for a Democrat means more likly I am going to vote for someone who would be willing to put the greater good in front of their own ego.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
