Senators Wyden and Neal just opened an investigation. They spell the accusation right out: WYDEN AND NEAL BEGIN TO INVESTIGATE ADMINISTRATION SCHEME TO TAKE CUT OF NVIDIA AI CHIP SALES TO CHINESE COMPANIES; TRUMP AND COMMERCE DEPARTMENT REPORTEDLY IGNORED WARNINGS ABOUT FORMER CEO’S RELATIONSHIP WITH ALLEGED CHINESE SPY

If you have travelled around the world in the last few years you have seen the absolute total dominance of Chinese electric cars. I just don't understand this American elites view that cutting off China from acquiring Nvidia chips will result in a strengthened American position instead of getting obliterated by SMIC+Huawei.

I'm guessing Trump owns Supermicro stock, otherwise why would he tell the DoJ/FBI to slow-roll cooperation with Singaporean authorities.

Probably because this 'spy' angle is manufactured by competing interests, and US wasn't able to be helpful to Singapore because of this.

Here’s the actual statement: https://www.mha.gov.sg/media-room/newsroom/singapore-investi... Singapore’s main complaint is that the FBI/DOJ didn’t compel Supermicro to cooperate fully with their investigation. It’s very possible cronyism played a part with this administration, but given that the DOJ brought charges against Supermicro executives earlier this year and subpoenaed the company, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were simply focused on their own investigation and/or didn’t have the legal authority to force them to cooperate.

Coward Nutlick needs to be brought infront of congress, he's learned too much corruption and doesn't yet have the immunity to be that way. He will get his pardon though.

If US not helpful, why even bother to broadcast about their investigation? By the way, no evidence of wrong doing. They let go Alice. Smell a lot like being commanded to investigate.

To compel compliance with an investigation in a foreign country is achieved through the diplomatic device known as a "letter rogatory."
