    ZhaoXin/VIA are rolling out some competitive x86 designs, I can see them changing scope to include low power units over this

    Pretty Huawei is not allowed to use x86 either. A majority of the patents surrounding x86 are held by Intel and AMD. If Intel won't license to them, they can't sell outside of China.

    a state sponsored "loan" to offset any competitive disadvantage

    Has anyone heard anything about Chinks stealing software IP from India? That definitely seems like something they'd do.

    more than just gps, it also triangulates with cell towers which is why it can still get your location despite the gps is turned off.

    I dunno about licensing, I tried to check it out but it's retardedly complicated. I think the core of it is that intel owns the rights to the x86 basic instruction set, but if it's that there's no way they can stop anyone from using it without changing standards and keeping them a secret.

    that said I didn't mean they'd replace their current chips with x86, just that they've been able to competently design x86 chips that rival the Ryzen series so there's no reason to think they can't build their own phone processors from scratch, just that it might take some time.

    yeah, I was going to say, the processor design implied by the x86 architecture makes it a bad fit for phones, no one would want to use an x86 processor there.

    Hypothetically in the future if you placed devices that were backdoored by china behind infrastructure that was backdoored by the nsa would you have a secure set up?

    no lol

    it'd be like a pipe that leaks in two places

    Huawei has been removed the from the SD Association, a non-profit group that sets the standards for SD and microSD cards.

    likely means that future Huawei devices won't be able to use microSD cards. Huawei does have its own Nano Memory Card format

    Meanwhile, the Wi-Fi Alliance has "temporarily restricted" Huawei

    i guess its pretty clear why the american govt are doing this then. they obvs don't want citizens having phones that they can't track and spy on.

    that's some proper authoritarian shit right there.

    They could already spy on everyone on Huawei phones, as long as they have GApps. This reduces the spying.

    yes.

    because this would mean china can backdoor into nsa and vice versa,

    Not for Huawei though. The majority of people are addicted to the convenience of the existing app stores; not having access to them or something similar will put a serious dent in Huawei's sales, even if it is a positive thing in the long run

    google playstore doesnt exist in china.

    there are twice as much people who dont use playstore than there are those that do, if we compare china-us, and their doing just fine.
