I’d say it’s been very productive

That's right, US gave China the push they needed to start developing cutting edge domestic tech.

Yeah, I think that's what they're referring to.

i suspect that this lack of detail is characteristic of the sanctions. my head hasn't been in the semiconductor game for decades, but any laymen like me could see that the sanctions had obvious loopholes that enabled china to proceed and i wonder if that's intentional or because the politicians lacked this kind of detailed knowledge.

I think it's pretty clear that people making these decisions don't have a clue. Experts have been saying from the start that this is a hare brained scheme. The key part here isn't that China can still access western tech, but rather that China now has a strong incentive to develop domestic tech, while western companies lose sales.

Huawei always have very impressive phones. But they just don't seem worth it with their short support cycle

Not sure about their newer phones but I had a P8 that was built like an absolute tank. Took it to -40C and back repeatedly during a trip up North and it was still usable 2 years later. Gave it to my grandma when her Samsung crapped out. I’m pretty sure it’s still in working condition.

I am sure it will keep working with your grandmother. They are built exceptionally well. It's the lack of continued os and security updates that concerns me. If they could match samsung and googles 5 years of updates they would be the only phone I use
