US government blacklists Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi

The US government has blacklisted Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi for alleged ties to the Chinese military. Huawei was already added to this list earlier.

The move is the latest move by outgoing President Donald Trump's administration in its China policy, which is likely to increase tensions between the two superpowers. US investors are forced by the ban to relinquish their interests in Xiaomi, and eight other Chinese companies that have been blacklisted.

Xiaomi said in a statement that the company "is not owned, controlled or associated with the Chinese military". The Chinese company says it will take "appropriate" action against the sanctions, but how is unclear.

Trump has characterized his presidency, which ends Wednesday, with a strong anti-China policy. Not much is clear about how future President Joe Biden will deal with China. His transfer team did not respond to a request for comment to Reuters news agency.

Out of respect for guru3d and an American I will not call out your arrogance and stupidity.

Learn your own nations real history before putting your foot in your mouth right after having it wedged in your rear end.

BLM and Antifa, they get away with everything because the left has been pro violence for the last four years. They let major cities burn for weeks and months and now all of a sudden then give a crap. This is the biggest fraud in American history.

.....wtf, the only americans i respect are right, most americans ARE dumb as bricks now-a-days.

holy shit... now i heard everything.... groups that weren't even around at the time are responsible for Detroit not getting the assistance necessary to recover from all car industry from pulling out. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Wow... People really don't know about US's camps and political prisoners? I thought that it was a myth.

They aren't aware that their government actively provoked Japan (literally forced their hand) into attacking Pearl Harbor through economic sanctions either.

That doesn't even make any sense. Do you believe today the Wuhan virus came from people eating bats near a bio weapons lab in China?

oh boy, here comes the completely demolished conspiracies that a biological weapon escaped.

I bet you have a MAGA hat too. :rolleyes:

Sorry @Hilbert Hagedoorn , you can't have a thread about america doing XYZ to a company without the sanctimonious peoples of america getting angry when the other citizens of the world just want the bullshit to come to an end instead of ramping up for another war. o_O

Should have posted this and locked it immediately lol.
