> All current China CDN customers must complete the transition to our Partners’ solution by June 30, 2026... Can anyone here who works in the field shed some light on why it takes a whole 1.5 years for such a change to take effect? What's involved in a CDN transition that can't be done in, say, 6 months?
China never has and never will offer a level playing field for non-Chinese companies. The US is finally starting to act in kind, and should continue to do so.
We've had CIFUS for decades. The only change is now we say no to Japan teaching us to make better steel.
I'm curious what you mean by that.
Most of what I know about steel is in relation to knives (and peripherally, swords, axes, and other tools). At least in that (admittedly small) niche, Japanese steel is good, but certainly not superior to US steel (although with the financial trouble that Crucible is having, perhaps things will change a bit).

Fair trade. It's amazing it took us until Trump to make this a major agenda item.
A) they’re a Chinese owned company
B) China asymmetrically has never allowed US social media (amongst practically all major internet properties)
C) We cap ownership of foreign owners of US media. TikTok IS TV for the young generation.
But apparently he thinks it helped him win (would love to know if that was actually true, which is probably impossible to calculate), so who cares about all these other principles!

My enterprise sized day job is an Akamai customer. Nothing in China directly so we won't be directly impacted. As a hypothetical, if we got told that we had to switch providers to stay in a region, we'd need to rebuild pipelines, EdgeWorkers, edge caching rules, origin routing configurations and probably more I'm not aware of. Plus testing all of those changes in a non-breaking way across the entire enterprise. Along…

You aren't going to spread your form of "democracy" across the world by doing what the "oppressive" regimes are doing.

I thought we don't want to be like China? You aren't going to spread your form of "democracy" across the world by doing what the "oppressive" regimes are doing.
