Trump says ZTE support followed request from Chinese president

And I'm still trying to update my dad's international ZTE Axon 7 mini to Nougat the manual way. If somebody could help....

 

Pretty sure the Axon 7's bootloader can be unlocked. So worst case you can just flash a different build of android onto it. I'd recommend reading up on the process first but you can get a clean and mostly stock build of Android on it.

 

Here's the Axon 7 XDA Developers form... a good place to research...

it is official, Trump confirmed the news late Friday evening , 25 May 2018, on Twitter that

The Trump administration has reached a deal that would allow the Chinese telecom firm ZTE to once again begin doing business with American companies.

Never mind that

• The U.S. slapped sanctions on ZTE in 2016, prohibiting the company from doing business in the U.S. for seven years, when it violated U.S. sanctions against Iran and North Korea.
• The Commerce Department placed additional sanctions on the company after it failed to follow through with its reorganization plan and lied to the U.S. government about it.

where is the backlash ?

while the Trump puts down no $

Trump has done exactly what China wanted him to do. The United States got nothing at all out of it.

 

Wow... what a coincidence!

IVANKA TRUMP’S BUSINESS WINS APPROVAL FOR MORE CHINA TRADEMARKS

again, conflict of interest used to be such a fundamental no no, that just an appearance of it is not acceptable. Another basic fundamental being eroded away by trump, enabled by his supporters and a willful blind congress.

 

Looks like more negotiations for Ivanka trademarks...

 

And here's our idiot-in-chief, adding his great insights on the news...

 

Did China just play trump as a chump?

 

It would be interesting if one of the Chinese phone companies was ZTE...

 

a resounding yes !
