Americans should have a stake in keeping silicon valley well off since it's their most productive engine. Do you want to see them have another rust belt again? 

I would rather have the best tech in my hands, why settle for 2nd best? Why prop something up? That's a road to stagnation! Why innovate and push forward when we will get a bail out or falsely propped up. 

Qualcomm's business is mainly their baseband technology like LTE/5G modems and patent licensing but they're shitty BTW since nobody can bother using their millimeter wave 5G technology ... 

Huawei is a threat because of their leading 5G infrastructure equipment since carriers like T-mobile and Vodafone use them to build their wireless networks ... 

Should we not want to use the best? I mean if the roles were reversed I am sure that's what the USA would be saying. 

If you're anti-trade war you may as well be pro-deindustrialization since Shenzhen is going kill silicon valley in the process ... 

Not at all, I am a firm believer in competition breads innovation. If you can't innovate then step aside and let someone better do it. 

What is the west going to do in the future when it finds itself reliant on Chinese technology where China could easily one day place an "export embargo" on them until their 'compliant' with Chinese demands ? 

Kinda like the US is doing now? Why is it ok for the US to be the aggressor but when others "might do it" it's wrong. If your going to dish it out, you better be ready to take it. Karma is a (you get it). 

I also find it rather funny, here in Canada we take heat for subsidizing our farmers yet the US does it also! So again it's bad if someone else does it but great if they do? I guess this whole let the market decide thing is only good if it works for the US.
