Trump administration mulls requiring 5G equipment for domestic use to be manufactured outside of China

[steven36]

Key Points

• The move comes amid heightened trade tensions between the U.S. and China.
• The discussions include asking telecommunications companies whether they can develop and produce equipment outside of China.
• The Trump administration essentially banned Chinese 5G telecom giant Huawei Technologies last month.

 

 

The U.S. is considering a requirement that next-generation 5G cellular technology for domestic use be made outside of China, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday, citing sources.

 

The shift could force telecom giants like Nokia and Ericsson to move production outside of China in order to continue providing equipment to the U.S., the world's largest market for telecom equipment and services, the Journal said.

 

President Donald Trump on May 15 declared a national emergency over threats on U.S. technology and blocked transactions that involve technology that "poses an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States."

 

The administration then essentially banned Chinese telecom giant Huawei Technologies from the U.S. amid concerns about that Huawei's equipment and phones can be used to spy over wireless networks, which the Chinese company has repeatedly denied.

 

The move to require equipment be made outside of China would come at a time of heightened trade tensions between the two countries.

 

Under the 150-day review of the supply chain called for in Trump's executive order, the U.S. government will ask telecom companies if they can develop hardware like routers and switches, and software outside of China, the Journal said, citing people familiar with the matter.

 

The Journal said the conversations are in "early" and "informal" stages.

We all know this is possible, but who wants to work for $3/hr? Not me! Pay us hard workers some real money and anything can be done and done right, but send OUR jobs abroad and then bitch and cry, we have no sympathy for your problems now!

 

I aint talking about Trump, or Dem vs GOP, I am talking about the people and organizations that really make the decisions, and to you I say GFYSelf!

They do say nothing about making it in USA  people in Mexico  and other countries work for $3/hr all the time that why GM has had a big car plant down there for many years .

Yes I did assume that it would be USA, and yes I lost a job a few years ago because the company I was working for relocated to Mexico. I would be happy to work for $3/hr if a bag of chips didnt cost $6, and if a new car didnt cost as much as a nice house, and if and if etc, but I have to live and pay bills, or move back to my Moms . Anyways I have no answers just frustration, like most people I amagine!

 

btw I have no racist feelings period, I just know what I do is worth way more to the company I do it for than I get paid for. Same as in Mexico, China or probably anywhere

The reason I know about the Car Plant down in Mexico I use to make Car Parts for a company out of Canada in the USA  and we made parts for all car manufactures all over the world  and the bosses from Mexico use to come inspect the plant . Many of the people i worked with in that plant in the USA were illegal Mexicans using a fake green card and they give them the worse jobs  in the plant were there was massive amounts of heat.

That the way all the non union plants use to be back in the early 2000s i worked in many places like that in more than one state . My job in one plant was to train the Mexicans to do the most worse  jobs  i use to train a different  one every week or 2  and  all that work is gone to China  now . It way worse than people think .  Big Corporate sleaze  balls will replace you at home if you dont want to work just like they will move your job  to somewhere else if they can make it cheaper .
