These accusations are unfounded and unsubstantiated. If they steal your tech, you should sue them in court. We, the US and other nations, run by the laws. You have all the rights to sue whoever steals your tech. Android is open source and available to everyone including Huawei. Huawei has every right to use it. Blatantly accusing someone of stealing with no evidence leads to libel and defamation.
If it would give up control of the OS on phones anyway and it would not threaten the US security, why did the US ban Google from providing Android updates to Huawei? It is the same logic why the US government bans Huawei, unless the US government ban Huawei for other reasons.
This is different from selling nuclear technology to Iran. Android is open source (albeit not in the "real open source" way) and available to everyone. Anyone can fork it at its own will. Forking Android by a non-US company would give up the control of the OS on phones, which would threaten the US security.
Although Huawei is not great at protecting your data, entrusting Facebook and Google with your data is not a solution either. Facebook and Google look through everything and monetize it.
- While most autonomous cars rely on motion-planning systems running at a rate of between 3 Hz and 10 Hz, Realtime Robotics' system runs at 1,000 Hz, going through a massive data lattice of possible trajectories in parallel.
Motion planning is important for sure. However, the bottleneck for autonomous cars is perception. How do you detect the outside world reliably in real time is way harder than motion planning.
For developing countries, moderate protections of its own industries are needed to foster their own. However, as they grow stronger, they are gradually opening up their markets. China is just doing that. Baby birds are protected by their mothers when they are little. Once they grow up, they should be able to fly and face challenges themselves. China is opening up, at a slow pace admittedly.
Huawei was hurt for sure. So is the US. Take a look at all the US chip stocks. They have gone down precipitously since Huawei was banned. The combined loss they took is larger than imposed on Huawei. Huawei getting hurt is only a temporary pain in the process. It is like the Sputnik moment for Chinese tech industry. China has realized this and is working hard to foster its own tech industry. China already has its own internet universe. Chip universe is only a question of time.
US bans will only serve to motivate the Chinese to work harder to develop its own independent technology ecosystem. It is painful today and tomorrow but it will be a boon for the Chinese in the long run. By looking at the long history or rising power vs established power, established powers always try to sabotage rising powers in order to maintain their status as long as possible. Eventually, rising powers will succeed. It has happened with the UK overtaking the Spaniards, the US overtaking the UK, the Germans overtaking the British before WWI. The US is desperate to delay the painful process.
Glad to see that the one-belt, one road initiative has helped many countries especially in Asia and Africa achieve economical success. China has helped the developing countries greatly.
It is a piece of bloated app that adds all your FB friends to your messenger friend list automatically and constantly spams you to contact them on anniversaries etc. I deleted it the same day I downloaded it.
This is what happens when you keep innovating and others stall. The latest generation of Iphone are expensive and not much different from the previous generation. Samsung made a few serious mistakes too, including the exploding incident. Recently Samsung fold phone has been reported to be a disaster. Huawei has been innovating. Huawei phone's cameras are top notch. Huawei works with Leica for phone cameras. Huawei's foldable phones don't have the same problems as Samsung Fold yet.
Could you please stop harassing people about their exercising freedom of speech? Does every comment need to be substantiated? Why don't you tell your government to stop smearing Huawei?
* It is complex, written in an “unsafe” manner, using “unsafe” languages.
This is written by someone who knows nothing about 5G or communication software. Pretty much, the whole world is run on software written in unsafe languages such as C. Picking on Huawei on this is not only unfair but also ignorant.
"America has a far bigger GDP"
It depends on how you calculate it. According to PPP, China has a GDP of 25 trillion vs the US of 20 trillion[1]. Yes, China has a bigger market and bigger GDP. If you calculate nominal GDP, China has ~14 trillion vs the US 20 trillion. US is bigger nominally, but not far bigger.
I would not call it comfortable since both are bleeding money every year. In addition, Waymo, Cruise etc. are all trying hard to put robot taxi's on the road. When that day comes, it will be interesting.
It is nice of the customers and employees to express their public complaints about it. More often than not, they just silently leave the platform and will never come back again. Expressing public complaints is a hell more work than jumping to another platform.
I have faith in freedom. China still has a long way to go. The Soviet Union sent the first man-made satellite and the first Human being into space before anyone else. However, Soviet Union collapsed eventually. China has not reached the height of Soviet Union in terms of scientific achievements yet.
Just to throw something out there. My city here in Ontario Canada has been running BYD buses for a while. We have been very happy with BYD buses. These buses are clean and don't emit the black smoke. We have had very positive experiences.
For that same reason, Intel's chips should not be trusted by other countries. It is highly likely that Intel has planted backdoor into their chips. Thus, China and other nations should foster and develop their own chip industry and abandon Intel altogether. India, Canada, Japan, Europe, Russia should all ban Intel chips.
