"Overall the US-China tech war is likely to escalate" Because the US is going to make even better technology, right? With the same open standards that allowed its technology sector to grow in the first place?

No? How about we escalate by writing blank checks to scammers and passing more sanctions to further isolate ourselves.

The more recent US hegemony in radio communications technology was held by pioneering Bell Labs work leading to patented implementation as 3G standards. I think the US rested on the laurels of those patents for too long. Microwave RF basebands were not too long ago considered advanced as alien technology. Now China has re-developed them on their own terms.

My previous phone was a low-end Huawei. One of the best smartphones I ever had. Performant, ultra thin, and with extremely long battery life.

Can’t have a trade war if you don’t address the massive infiltration of people from your trade adversary in every sector of your economy.

It ain’t gonna work.

Just sayin’.
