President Donald Trump's crackdown on trade claimed a massive victim this week, as the Chinese tech giant ZTE shut down most of its operations. 

The Commerce Department recently banned the sale of US-made parts to ZTE, crippling its operations and leading to a shutdown of its factories. In a statement Wednesday, ZTE said that "the major operating activities of the company have ceased." 

ZTE, the second-largest telecom-equipment firm in China, pulled in almost $17 billion in revenue last year. 

The department's move was the result of an investigation into ZTE's sales to North Korea and Iran that the US said violated existing sanctions against those countries.

He's such a great negotiator. Fart of the deal.  

Also why is Trump now really upset about job losses in China. Maybe he should just have ZTE give those jobs to hard working Americans instead. Why not done?

Weird, a 30 second Google image search reveals that she, in fact, never said that and that this was a random meme that originated on Voat and propagated to The_Donald, so at least we know where Captain "Libertarian" maninblack, Champion of Neutrality spends his free time.

Next time, you might want to be careful about posting memes that have such a small reach and are easily traced.

Okay buddy. I posted it because I laughed as she's dumb enough to believe it was true but I didn't want to attribute an actual quote to her if she didn't say it. 

 

Also small "l" libertarian.

Maninblack is regarded, water is wet and more with the news at 11

Well there are a ton of US companies that supply components to ZTE that got fucked over - never should have sanctioned them to begin with.

Also don't forget this from earlier this month.
Much worse, he flattered Trump. All he has to do is say " Trump you big American so smart" and Trump will do anything he wants

They were being punished because they violated the Iran sanctions.

Political posturing for a case that was concluded a year ago with ZTE paying a $430M fine. This latest stuff was just tit for tat China trade nonsense
