Because Trump's a big-government liberal who believes it's government's job to pick winners and losers.

Did I say he didn't?

You see, I can criticize when someone does something wrong.  I don't have blind worship.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-in-tweet-says-working-with-chinese-president-xi-to-keep-zte-in-business-1526225831

Here's a possible reason:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/in-zte-battle-u-s-suppliers-are-collateral-damage-1524562201?mod=article_inline

The relationship between chip manufacturers is somewhat incestuous.  Qualcomm, for example, is a direct
competitor to ZTE, yet ZTE is a major purchaser of Qualcomm chips.  It's possible Commerce did not expect the bleeding at ZTE to be severe enough to actually shut the business down.  There are European companies that are also adversely affected

The President's tweet on this subject indicates "too many jobs in China lost".   :wtf:

Quote
President Xi of China, and I, are working together to give massive Chinese phone company, ZTE, a way to get back into business, fast. Too many jobs in China lost. Commerce Department has been instructed to get it done!

President Trump says he's working with China to save ZTE
« Reply #9 on: May 14, 2018, 05:26:29 pm »
President Donald Trump said in a tweet Sunday that he's working to give China's ZTE "a way to get back into business, fast."

ZTE, a smartphone and telecom equipment maker that does business around the world, announced last week that it has halted its main operations after the Trump administration banned American companies from selling it vital components.

Now, Trump says he's working with President Xi Jinping of China to get the company back on its feet.

"Too many jobs in China lost. Commerce Department has been instructed to get it done!" Trump wrote in a tweet Sunday. The US Commerce Department did not immediately respond to multiple requests for comment Sunday.

The White House later issued a statement indicating that President Trump "expects" Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross "to exercise his independent judgment, consistent with applicable laws and regulations, to resolve the regulatory action involving ZTE based on its facts."

The Chinese government welcomed Trump's comments.

"We very much appreciate the positive statement from the US side on ZTE and maintain close communication with them on the issue," Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said Monday.

This move makes absolutely no sense at all.

Not that it matters much. LG is controlled by the Koreans, Samsung by the Japanese. BlackBerry, even though they're based in Canada, makes their phones in China, and Apple, an American company, makes theirs in Taiwan.

Apparently only Asia is allowed to manufacture phones. Who knew?

Until it does.


Trump Indonesia Project Latest Stop On China's Belt And Road

The park -- expected to be backed with up to $500 million in Chinese government loans -- is part of an "integrated lifestyle resort", known as MNC Lido City.

The project includes Trump-branded hotels, residences and a golf course, as well as other hotel, shopping and residential developments.

Referring to its subsidiary, MCC described the theme park as "the first culture and tourism industry project by the Central Research Institute of Building and Construction in response to 'China's One Belt, One Road' initiative."

It is also the first project to link the US president's business interests to China's signature infrastructure initiative, which aims to connect the world's second-largest economy with Africa, Asia and Europe through a vast network of ports, railways, roads and industrial parks.
