By the way, Grenada was not a war. 

Indeed. Grenada was a military invasion and a pushover.

A very mature and professional response. In contrast, the one is the Whitehouse is behaving like a spoilt brat, which he in fact is.

More Americans need to understand that China is no longer the China you learnt about when you grew up. Even for the Chinese, the country is changing so rapidly that they often get lost in their own city due to massive new constructions and redevelopments, same holds true in terms of its economy and commercial/retail markets and technologies. Trump and his hawks are misleading the people into believing a trade war with China is easy to win, let alone lying to the people on who are footing the tariffs (American businesses and consumers). Cleverly handing out the largest tax cut in history and then getting all that and more back through this sneaky mechanism. It's the Americans who are being hurt and lied to. As for Apple and other major American businesses operating and earning big there in China (eg. GM and Boeing), they are bound to get hurt whether through government responses to Trump's 'extreme pressure' or sentiment within the society. To think otherwise is just naive. For two major economic powers on this planet, the choices are win-win or lose big for everyone.

Huawei will be available to receive an urgent order from Apple... LOL! 5G is already being rolled out there in the Far East b/n China and Sth Korea, and here's Apple, the number one US tech company being stuck and unable to compete in this strategic commercial space. As for those who claims they don't need 5G or suggesting glitches, just classic sour grape mentality. Do these people know that this is the exact area that the US govt and experts are scared of, they know how critical 5G is to the future economic development of the world and a space that the US is struggling to keep up, hence part of Trump's trade war/Huawei ban. Here is a living example of how to turn America First to America Last!

Sad and this is how American tech companies starts to fall behind those in East Asia. Guess what, 5G networks have already sprung up there in Sth Korea and China. Although still patchy but they are there and operating. Yes, there won't be a US 5G network to talk about for some time yet, but Apple's iPhone should be a world beater product. With this delay, probably inevitable with various political restrictions implemented by the US government, Apple will just have to join the rest of the US mobile network companies and play catch up. Good luck once the lucrative East Asia market is lost, there's no return... Once upon a time, Apple's iPhones were right up there with mobile network advance.
