    Damn we would have been able to benefit if all Huawei products weren't banned in the US because of 'national security', which was actually just protectionism to promote domestic producers.

    All of these 'trade war' decisions are so half baked and always end up hurting the US. For example they banned Huawei from using the google play store which effectively disrupts google's monopoly status on phone apps. Huawei just made it super easy to download third party apps so people who would have paid for apps now just pirate them instead or directly go to the makers and purchase it directly. Absolutely hilarious.
