alt Hacker NewsPlenty of countries gave Huawei the same treatment the US did, and the US and its allies have the weight to impose sanctions, tariffs, etc to punish consumers within their borders for daring to consider better and cheaper options.

The allies of the US all banned Huawei because the US asked them (quite forcefully) to do so.
CXMT is already under a full set of US long arm sanctions so probably only very little of their products will ever reach western markets.
However some Chinese demand will definitely be met by CXMTs product displacing western suppliers - so maybe there is a tiny bit of relief for western consumers there.

Yes, and? There are Huawei stores all over Asia, that little place where 60% of people live.

There's a difference between cutting off a phone from Google apps and a memory stick. Huawei phones became basically useless for every day use.
With RAM you can always just AliExpress it. I live in a small country yet every day literally MILLIONS of packages come in from Asia.
