This is just ridiculous. This goes way beyond what they originally intended with stopping suspected IP Theft or backdoors by Huawei. This is a black day for academic progress and research in general.

Google Scholar or Wikipedia websites has been banned in China for a decade, Do you think this is ridiculous?

I often use them in China. Lol

It seems that Huawei is the US hostage in the China-US trade negotiations. I wonder who the US company will be that China will decides to screw over in retaliation?

I don't think my homeland can actually harm the US in the trade war. We only dare to verbally declare that we want to fight back.

Actually, I have to say, lots of people are able to use Google and Wikipedia in China even though Chinese gov officially bans them, including me. There are dozens of methods to cross the "wall".

IEEE is registered in USA, so it has to follow the USA's law and rules, so I think it's not an issue of IEEE but an issue of BIS, please try to figure out that.

Companies domiciled in the PRC also has to follow PRC's laws and regulations (whether they are compatible with our values is another question). Using the same ridiculous logic we've seen throughout this whole saga, we can also conclude that IEEE is "literally the US government".
