True. but who can blame them?
I see this as a good thing ultimately. American companies abused the public trust siding with unconstitutional domestic spying. Let them feel the pain of lost sales. Personal I hope it bankrupts anyone involved.

They are gonig into a linux based system. Not bad.
I would be surprised if the U.S. designed chip that was copied and cloned hasn't already been identified.
