US sanctions are illegal and should be “violated”. They hold no legitimacy and are just a form of economic warfare.

The UN, under the UN charter, already recognizes the US unilateral sanctions as illegal, but the US can afford to maintain them to this day—despite annual calls by the actual international community to cease such policies—because the USD has been the dominant reserve currency for a long time.

Now that the world is increasingly becoming more multipolar and regional-based, the US and their satellites, in Europe and Asia, are panicking.

The US international solution to everything comes down to sanction, coup and invasion

The crocodile tears have been the best marketing for me. It’s going to be way too expensive and probably hamstringed in the west but I still want one.

Their phones are super cool. I actually have a matebook x pro laptop that’s been awesome. At the time it had the specs of laptops that typically cost 30-50% more and a really nice design and 3:2 display

When I have need of a new laptop a Matebook is definitely in the running.

In terms of smart phones I used to go through one every nine months or so. I’m not hard on them but something would just give up. I’m typing this comment on a five year old Mate 10 Pro which has got at least a year left if not more. I’ve had the battery replaced twice and the USB port once but other than those wear items it’s a rock solid device.

Hell yeah I love mine. I did have to replace my SSD because it was blue screening, but I had the first edition from like 2018 so I’m assuming they’ve fixed that issue

Same. That being said i won’t be able to afford this high end model even if i do manage to find a way to import it, so i will just wait a few years until they make more mid range models with the same tech. Honestly it’s no biggie, i’ve never been one to go in for the latest phone models and i don’t really need a new phone right now anyway, my current one is several years old and still works just fine, and it’s a Chinese brand too.

There will certainly be cheaper Mate 60 Lite and a cheaper Honor version or two in the coming months. Previous models have been available in Europe but I can’t imagine they sell all that well anymore considering the Google embargo. Doesn’t bother me personally but the average user would be lost.

I like the idea of the Honor version, i may keep an eye out and see if it’s available in Europe when it comes out and whether it’s in my budget, but i usually never buy newest generation tech, i find it’s always better to wait a year or so for the next one to come out and the previous one to become more affordable.
