Intel Kills 5G Deal With China's Unigroup Over US Security Concerns (venturebeat.com)
Intel's partnership to share its latest 5G modem chips with China's Unigroup, a government-backed firm which is also the second largest mobile chipmaker in the nation, has ended amid concerns that the technology transfer could cause problems in Washington, a report said Tuesday. From a report: The deal was previously expected to expand Intel's opportunities in China's growing market, while aiding the Chinese government's plans to develop its own chip industry. Following a 2014 investment, under which Intel took a 20 percent stake in state-owned Tsinghua Unigroup, the companies last February announced a 5G tie-up as a "powerful combination targeting 5G smartphones." Their "long-term strategic collaboration" was meant to create a 5G Android smartphone platform for sale in China in the second half of 2019, combining Intel's 5G modem with a Unigroup chipset.
i will light up and smoke youre butthoals,
they'll just steal it
Though your wording is a bit harsh, I agree with the thought. We should be doing this stuff here at home, not buying from political adversaries a million miles away. They'll just fuck you up if a conflict arises.
I bet if they offer president cheeto a handy under the table, he would be pushing for it.
Intel comms tech falling into China's hands would set China back five years.
You really think he has any concept of what is being discussed here?
Seriously, the US has offered zero proof regarding allegations of Chinese spying on the US, or indeed anyone else via cellular network equipment. None.
Even the UK, which has been walking the line as the US's little lap-dog bitch has said.. yeah, there is no proof that Huawei is doing anything wrong.
And, likely they are not. This is simply the US trying to prevent China from becoming a technological competitor. They are simply trying to use force to ensure they stay at the top of the dog pile.
The US has already promised countries they can expect huge economic losses should they use Chinese products. Basically telling them that they will be blocked from the US market. Possibly additional tariffs.
What we are seeing are the death throws of a once great nation. Sad.
We're on autopilot right now. He hardly cares. He went to Vietnam to play golf.
“He’s not deformed, he’s just drunk!”
The trolls that attack this with "Intel 5G modems/radios are bad" and "US has offered zero proof regarding allegations" is amazing. You must be on auto post or something. Every computer I have ever owned runs on Intel, I would never touch AMD because it is superior. I am confident Intel will dominate the 5G modems/radios. There is plenty of proof that China is spying on US technology out there, how else would they be able to advance?
COMRADE HACKINGBEAR, you are commanded by the Imperial Grand Faggot of China to defend Huawei from all slander, OR YOUR MOTHER IS SOUP. We have her dangling over a hot pot right now, MIND YOUR WORDS, DRONE.
You will attack the Americans with your tiny bitchlike hands or it's mother-jook. If you fail to defend the Imperial Grand Faggots of China your social credit score will also be zero and you will be made into fake leather furniture.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, PROPAGANDA AGENT HACKINGBEAR. Complete the mission - OR ELSE.
And tell Agent KenDoll to check in, her propaganda cache is very stale. The Yankees are catching on to you clumsy idiots.
Now nations can invest in 5G from Poland, Finland, Sweden and Taiwan, the real China.
Nations that are a bit more supportive of the USA.
No more going full Communist.
Domestic spying is now "Benign Information Gathering"
I call it tech theft
Let's call the whole thing off ..
P.S.: Canada is developing 7G and the US and China will be left behind.
-- Tigger warning: This post may contain tiggers! --
because china will just steal the tech from the fabs anyway.
