President Trump Wants US To Win 5G Through Real Competition (bbc.com)

hackingbear writes: In a tweet, President Trump said he wanted "5G, and even 6G, technology in the United States as soon as possible. I want the United States to win through competition, not by blocking out currently more advanced technologies. American companies must step up their efforts, or get left behind." While he did not specifically mention China's Huawei, many interpreted the comments as Mr Trump taking a softer stance on the firm. The U.S. has been pressuring allies to block out the Chinese telecom giant from their future 5G mobile networks, but the tactic meets considerable resistance. "Mr. President. I cannot agree with you more. Our company is always ready to help build the real 5G network in the U.S., through competition," Huawei President Ken Hu replied in a tweet, mocking Trump's frequent usages of the word "real." Huawei is the second biggest holder of 5G patents after Samsung and the top contributor to the 5G standard, and is setting its sight on 6G.

Oh great, phonetards are getting high-speed conduits to share their retardation even faster than usual.
We need phone/desktop apartheid, segregate the phonetards from the enlightened desktop master race.

Real competition? Trump?

[gweihir]

Does he even understand what that word means?

NO but he will happily slap a few more protectionist moves after saying it.

I find it fascinating that you Trump-fanatics never have any good arguments _for_ your choices, only the usual, invalid "the others are worse".

That's rich.

As though Trump would know anything about competition.

He only won his "competition" with Russians stepping up their social engineering techniques on a gullible public, and the GOP blocking votes from being being counted in congressional races.

No, she didn't say the working class are deplorables. She said half of Trump's supporters are deplorables. And she's been proven right. They continue to support him, no matter how much he exploits his position for his own family's gain. No matter how many racist attacks he makes against minorities. And when asked to defend his actions they just say "but it pisses Democrats off". Those right there are the irredeemable deplorables she was exactly talking about. There is no point at which they will say enough is enough (except maybe for when he finally does something that directly affects then in a negative way, even if it was something they knew he promised)

Again with the Hillary issues...you do realize the election was two years ago but you still seem intent on reliving it. Move on, come up to speed, cook with gas. "Sure my guy is a dolt, but that Hillary...whoa!!".

Hey - they are still pissed off about Franklin D Roosevelt. So my guess is they'll be able to to raise their blood pressure about ol' Hellery for another 50 years or so.

It's just what they do as opposed to solutions.

> you do realize the election was two years ago

Democrats, who know full well Trump is not some Russian, continue to bring up the 2016 election in case it sticks. You can't meaningfully point to someome answering those claims with this shit, you ahould know this.

Irresponsible lying propaganda summary

[Anonymous Coward]

"mocking Trump's frequent usages of the word "real."

Does anyone in their right mind believe the president of Huawei was somehow "mocking" president Trump's apparent overture to free trade? That has to be the stupidest most lying propagandist comment I have ever read.

If anything Huawei's president was insinuating that because Huawei holds the most 5G patents that it was in the best position to build "real" 5G networks. Not everything is about making Trump look bad.

These are serious geopolitical and world trade issues that the world's number 1 economy (China) and the US are trying to work out for mutual benefit.

Getting in a jab at president Trump, especially a false one that if misinterpreted could sour relations and eventually lead to war if the war hawks prevail in their insane quest to kill us all... is irresponsible.

One commonality I have found with Trump, and Chinese culture, is the need to "Win". I found the need to Win, to be inevitably counter productive. To Win at something you have a clear single objective, you work to get that objective better or faster then someone else, then you win. However what you do to get to that objective may sabotage other objectives you may want to peruse later on.
That kid who cheated to win the game. Is no longer invited to pay again.
A country who has wasted all their resources to become a more powerful economy, will struggle in the future, because there are no more resources to work off of.

While in college, they were Chinese national students, they were the test curve breakers, always getting A's on all the test, however in the practical assignments they really struggled, as they studied to pass the test, but not understand the material.
In Work, when we have a Chinese national new hire, there always seems to be some work involved to get them to work with the rest of the team, ask questions, don't be afraid to make mistakes, but learn from them.

The Chinese people are smart, creative and innovative. They need to recognize the flaws in their culture, to help them grow. As do Americans, as we have different traits that make us shoot ourselves in the foot. Often our Bully attitude, and often seat of the pants approaches to problems, which causes us to come up with stupid ideas, and keep going with them.
