Senate Votes To Block Trump's ZTE Deal
« on: June 18, 2018, 11:54:21 pm »
The Senate moved to block President Trump's deal to save Chinese telecommunications giant ZTE despite pushback from the White House.
 
Senators passed an annual defense policy bill on Monday that included a provision keeping the penalties in place against ZTE despite a deal reached earlier this month by the Trump administration.
 
In addition to keeping the Commerce Department penalties in place, the bill bans government agencies from buying or leasing telecommunications equipment and services from ZTE and Chinese telecom firm Huawei, as well as banning the government from providing loans to or subsidizing either company.

“We’re heartened that both parties made it clear that protecting American jobs and national security must come first when making deals with countries like China, which has a history of having little regard for either. It is vital that our colleagues in the House keep this bipartisan provision in the bill as it heads towards a conference," Cotton, Schumer, Rubio and Van Hollen said in a statement after the Senate's vote.

Sounds like good news for people who hate American jobs, like the people working at Qualcomm and NXP, major supplier of ZTE.  Good work!

Sounds like a win for people who believe in national security and are tired of the Chinese stealing billions of dollars per year of our intellectual property.

Preventing ZTE from selling phones and tech in the U.S. is a good step forward towards blunting that theft.

Well you have to differentiate which China you don't want your phone made by.  Some of them are made in Taiwan but in order to not anger the mainland Communists Taiwan is referred to as China as well.
