Asia Times — New US sanctions threaten to cripple Chinese tech giant ZTE

Long-time pundit of Chinese politics, Bill Bishop, whose newsletter is well-read among Washington China policy circles, wrote on Tuesday:
“The ability of the US government to decimate a major Chinese tech firm by cutting off access to US components is another reminder to China, as the Snowden revelations were, that China cannot ensure information security until it completely de-Americanizes its information technology infrastructure and replaces it with indigenous products.”

The ability of the Chinese government to decimate a major US tech firm by stealing technology to US components is another reminder to the US, as the Sinovel revelations were, that USA cannot ensure information security until it completely de-Chineses its information technology infrastructure and replaces it with indigenous products.
