Is the US shooting itself in the foot by banning Huawei?

I don't know if that is true for Huawei's base stations. Even if true, I doubt it would matter much.

Typically, FPGAs are used for prototyping and for low quantity production, because it's faster and easier than designing your own chip. (Mostly because you can customize an FPGA yourself. In fact, that's what "FPGA" means: Field Programmable Gate Array.)

However, if the quantity is low, then it follows that the product is not going to matter much to a $100 billion company. If necessary, Huawei can buy the Altera or Xilinx chips from a third country; this should be rather easy for low quantities.

For higher quantities, there are ways to convert an FPGA design to an ASIC (a fully custom chip), cheaply and quickly. Many Chinese companies can make ASICs of rather high complexity.

So I don't think the near American monopoly on high-density FPGAs is going to affect Huawei much.

Now Huitong reports this as serial 2x1x, what would fit to a training brigade assigned to the Shijiazhuang Flying Academy

However 212 could then only fit to 2212 - aka the 1. Training Brigade at Shijiazhuang - and IMO the space in front of the 212 looks a bit narrow? ... so more likely 212x, which would then be a 2x2x serial - aka the 2. Training Brigade at Yongji?

Also, I doubt that the US is going to completely ban Huawei from procuring American components. Keep in mind that Huawei's products are the backbone of many ISPs in the EU. A total ban is going to severely hamper many services in the EU causing significant political backlashes. Unless, the US just totally don't give a damn about its allies.

hey Deino

please reopen
Trade War With China https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/trade-war-with-china.t8265/
people took it to Huawei Thread anyway (as you can see)

at least it'd be easier to follow Huawei-related and general anti-US (LOL!) posts
