Sweden bans Huawei, ZTE from upcoming 5G networks

[FairAndUnbiased]

Mate,

Based on my conversations on various platforms, I can vouch for the fact that Americans are very good at conveying their point-of-view as well as absorbing negativity and criticism coming their way on average. This is an admirable quality of a nation.

If you are to win Hearts and Minds and convince people to buy your products, then you need to grow a Thicker Skin alongside. You may not like feedback at times.

Even from among those who have rejected your goods, some can be won back at some point. However, no guarantees.

The notion of complaints extend both ways and never one-sided.

Are you kidding me?

At my workplace we have sensitivity training to not be seen as too critical. We also have media training which boils down to: never talk to the media and refer them to corporate media specialists AKA professional liars.

this isn't about individuals. Corporations don't have a thick skin or thin skin. Imagine accusing Apple of having toxic plasticizers in their products. Should Apple just have a thick skin and shrug it off?

I understand where you are coming from in relation to this theme but I am looking at things from conversations standpoint here on PDF. As a member of this forum, you need to be mindful of the rules of this forum and same is true for other members.

You felt offended by reasons given by a Foreigner as to why his country rejected Huawei and ZTE and you pointed out that China will retaliate. How does this help your cause and conversations here?

ENTER MY REMINDER to fellow members to not Flame-bait each other in this thread.

China can choose to reject Swedish goods as well. However, China looses one market in the process because it could be that Swedish are buying some Chinese goods if not all? Its not like China only have Huawei and ZTE to offer to others?

I am stopping the two camps from going overboard here. I do not see this conversation lasting long otherwise.

It is only a matter of time before the entire EU follows suit. Whether people like Trump or not he certainly has told people to finally wake up about it.

Agree. However, don't think Trump will be re-elected. So not sure this policy will carry on, as Biden will be less confrontational.

Why not talk about how your Western white how to slaved the African and the British how to killed and took over the land of the American Indian?

Whataboutism

Whataboutism (also known as Whataboutery especially in the UK) is a deflection or red herring version of the classic tu quoque logical fallacy — sometimes implementing the balance fallacy as well — which is employed as a propaganda technique. It is used as a diversionary tactic to shift the...

Imagine what China can do now that Sweden is actively hostile.

All talk no play makes Jack a dull boy

China trying to bully Sweden? How? Why talk about kidnap when i refer to plenty of wars happening around the world led by the US? Do not avoid the question you know the US has been killing millions of people

There are valid criticisms of American foreign policy. We have means to correct those policies. If it is not for USA you would be polishing the boots of Imperial Japanese Army ?

Ban Ericsson from using any Chinese IP or dealing with any Chinese businesses.

Banning Swedish software companies that do not meet stringent security requirements.

Stepped up regulatory inspections of Swedish companies and products in China.

Shorting the Swedish currency since they're not a Eurozone economy.

Put them at low priority for CoVID-19 vaccines.
