From the horse's mouth. Gina Raimondo, previous US Secretary of Commerce, on how sanctions on Huawei were completely ineffective (): "[We] thought we were going to hobble Huawei, it came back stronger than ever, making incredible chips" She also added that
Yes, this 👇 Gina Raimondo. The "slowing down China's innovation" project didn't quite go as planned 😏
@RnaudBertrand Bonjour Arnaud, nous souhaitons vous inviter pour un interview sur notre chaîne. Seriez-vous ouvert à cela?
@theswissbox Pourquoi pas? J'ai un faible pour la Suisse vu que j'y ai fait mes études 😊 Contactez moi par PM, je viens de vous follow.
@RnaudBertrand They all become a lot smarter as soon as they are out of office!
@RnaudBertrand She denounced her task in her last days in her role as 'a fool's errand.' She knew, even during the US attack on China's high-end manufacturing, that the US was only hurting itself and its vassals.
@RnaudBertrand sanctions accelerated what they were trying to prevent. forced self-sufficiency, domestic supply chains, and now they're less dependent on us tech than before
@RnaudBertrand Even more revealing is the lesson Raimondo highlights: China's long-term, intentional investment in talent and vocational skills versus a U.S. system that often prioritizes credentials over capability. A wake-up call on industrial policy.
@RnaudBertrand “we don’t have an effective workforce system in this country” And yet the US spends approx. $25k/year/student and the results are 50% functional illiteracy.
@RnaudBertrand Definitely a WMD-in-Iraq kind of vibe here.
@RnaudBertrand but stealing from cisco is not cool. there has to be some respect for intellectual property. not a socialist setup with everything belongs to state mentality. can’t reward that
@RnaudBertrand She now admits Huawei sanctions failed and made them stronger. Convenient timing, she spent 2021-2025 expanding those same sanctions, calling Huawei’s breakthroughs “deeply concerning” and vowing “strongest possible action.” The sanctions forced China to build domestic chip
@RnaudBertrand The foolish and reckless Neocon AI-chip blockade of China will also blow up in America's face.
@RnaudBertrand She began to notice.
@RnaudBertrand @shaurya_doval @d_jaishankar @sanjeevsanyal targeted skilling needs to be done aggressively by India as well
@RnaudBertrand Global Reawakening Time Law of Attraction is the Engine in the Universe It’s a boomerang No Human can play games with this Law It manifests your thought sooner or later 吸引力法则是宇宙的引擎 它是一支回旋镖 没有人类可以和此法则捉迷藏 老子所说的：天网恢恢，疏而不漏
@RnaudBertrand @SuchanVladimir Glad she's figuring this out
@RnaudBertrand The “horse” haha
@RnaudBertrand Hilarious!
@RnaudBertrand She was another worthless liberal politician in over her head
@RnaudBertrand @barnes_law Just shows she knows nothing about chips, like most of the commentators here.
@RnaudBertrand She had tough times and frustrated moments with her old boss?
@RnaudBertrand We reward incompetence and punish talent.
@RnaudBertrand So… she was pretending not knowing obviously….

@RnaudBertrand Is she angling for an official Huawei sponsorship deal or somethin'?
@RnaudBertrand She is a joke. Full of contradictions. On the one hand whining that China "cheats" by subsidizing key industries, and one minute later bemoans the fact that the US doesn't do the same in her preferred industries. Hypocrisy at its finest.
@RnaudBertrand USA does have the talent two things stopping the talent from being hired, industry resistance to higher wages, and industry dependence to outsourcing abroad. We live in a country where health insurance alone cost employers and employees 40,000 a year
@RnaudBertrand Her comment about President Xi is fascinating. Does she not link the success to him, or is there more to it?
@RnaudBertrand A country is cooked if its ruling class need to learn such basic principles. Methinks they probably know, they just dont care. They're not interested in improving the lives of their citizens, only in enriching themselves.
@RnaudBertrand 50 years ago, when China decided to build the country with the goals of “4-modernization”, they sent thousands of students and officials to the U.S., Japan and Europe, including Xi Jinping. What’s keeping the U.S. from doing the same, if there are so many we can learn from China?
@RnaudBertrand China brings to power only people who have proven being competent. Exactly the opposite of western "democracy", which is spiraling down led by incompetent morons.
@RnaudBertrand Arnaud, its not common knowledge but China OWNS like 80 or 90% of the 6G tech stack / patents. This can not be over-emphasised. Its like owning every patent in 2025 computing in 1990.
@RnaudBertrand Notice how most of them are a lot less hawkish and a whole lot more honest and truthful when they're no longer in those government positions? "Paid to lie in their job" rings true.
@RnaudBertrand Canada's role in the attempt to "crush" Huawei, (whose phones were fast becoming the most popular in the country) by arresting their CEO at the behest of our US corporate masters, was a turning point for many Canadians figuring out what our foreign policy was really about.
