#462Coincidentally, a Stanford Chinese American scientist, Prof. Shoucheng Zhang ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoucheng_Zhang ), who discovered the Quantum Spin Hall effect that plays a big part in the recent Intel announcement of the next generation of chip design, was found dead on Stanford campus on Dec. 1st. Before he's death, Prof. Zhang went together with Huawei's CFO to attend a dinner in Argentina on Dec. 1st.…
There is no way for all the events you prescribed to happen in one day across four different countries.
I'm sorry to hear the loss of Prof. Zhang, however I suspect that his death may have had something to do with his heavy investment in some questionable blockchain startups.

Keep in mind that US sanctions against foreign companies doing business with Iran are opposed by: The United Nations International Court of Justice, which ordered the US to withdraw sanctions, to which the US responded by pulling out of international agreements. The European Union, which has attempted to block its companies from complying with US sanctio…
The author of this comment has a history of apologizing for Chinese crimes: >>LOL, kill thousands of its own citizens in protests? The Chinese government never did that (even the famous tank man was unharmed and was not arrested), the truth is, many soldiers got killed because they were not allowed to fire at citizens. Even the Chinese government did kill its own citizen they learnt from the US (1932 Bonus Army, 1970…
The author of this comment has a history of attacking the Chinese government:
>This is ridiculous equivocation between a democratic society with a rule of law and an authoritarian regime. You're kidding yourself if you don't think the Chinese government has an interest in data owned by foreign nationals that they could gain access to.

#464I would not look forward to being an American businessman abroad in China right now. I think we're all used to the fiction that we live in a world that's totally governed by fairness and laws. That's been a pretty useful fiction for a long time, and in (some) of the developed world that's basically been how it's worked. But I really wonder how many shocks this system can take. I would bet money that an important US e…
China has been doing this for a long time already to Australian business people. Several Australian Mining and Casino executives and employees have been imprisoned for considerable time by China's opaque justice system. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-07-04/stern-hu-explainer-wh... https://www.smh.com.au/business/crown-says-detained-staff-in...
This is not a fair comparison.The Australian citizen was working in the company's ShangHai office and broke Chinese law.

Suicide apparently https://www.chinamoneynetwork.com/2018/12/06/renowed-chinese...
That's not a trustworthy news source. Why would a renowned scientist doing world changing research commit suicide suddenly?
My speculation is that he lost a lot of money on the crypto market.

What I read from this is: "the US has a convoluted process, which nobody understands, in order to commit to international agreements". It seems everybody, including head of states, thought the US had agreed to the treaties, but they had not (?), because of a technicality. I assume these technicalities can be applied to anything, any time, in order to justify pulling out of international agreements. Worse, instead of…
Seriously? And China is more trustworthy? Look at what they are doing with 1MDB scandal in Malaysia and Hambantota port in Sri Lanka. US is no saint - but it is the best of the worst out there. Pulling out of a loophole in a treaty is something any country can do. Why is US especial in this?
Wasn't 1MDB to blame on Goldman Sachs, a US company, and Jho Low, a Malaysian?
Re: Canada has arrested Huawei’s global chief financial officer in Vancouver
#469Weird.
Huawei made an carefully worded announcement early this day and states that they are didn't violate any related law:

December 1, the same day Xi and Trump met at G20. Wonder if anything goes wrong.
Americans better find something this time, one Yinhe incident[0] is bad enough for PR already :)
