All 3 links are related to the Trump administration, which is known for its isolationist stances on many things. That's not "the west".

You do realize VLC was started in France, right?

Last I checked, France seemed to dilike the Huawei for being pricing their phones too low, and being too ambitious.

I wonder how you feel about Huawei however- maybe my perception is biased.

So because one author on one French site wrote one article that has a slightly negative title but otherwise neutral content, suddenly the whole country dislikes the company?

Get over your biases.

I'm glad someone with those biases is here; obviously '1996 is far outnumbered on HN by those with other biases.
