Yesterday, on Fox News Sunday Chris Wallace interviewed
Peter Navarro, the Trump administration leading trade hawk.
Most people are focusing on Navarro’s rather harsh remarks
about Canadian Prime Minister Justin Bieber. For my part I took special
interest in his answer to a question about China’s ZTE.
Why, Wallace asked, did Trump want to try to save the
Chinese telecommunications conglomerate from the weight of U. S. sanctions?
It’s easy, Navarro calmly explained, Trump was grateful to
China’s President Xi Jinping for facilitating a summit with North Korea and
Trump wanted to return the favor. It was a simple quid pro quo, the kind that
businessmen do all the time.

I won't have a smart phone, and certainly not a ZTE. I suspect it would contain the Chinese version of Alexa, which I refer to as one's own personal Stasi agent.
