Do you know why the US sanctions #Hikvision?

Hikvision is too powerful. Within a few years, the Chinese company topped its US competitor Honeywell to become the world's No.1. When the US can't compete, they invent genocide bullshit and drives its rival out of the market.

The DOJ filed a motion to bar #Huawei's defense lawyer James Cole from repping Hauwei in the DOJ's case against them.

James Cole is currently a partner at #SidleyAustin and was formerly Deputy Attorney General from 2011 to 2015 in #Obama's administration.
DOJ didn't say why they wanted him off the case, but while he was Deputy AG, the US government was collecting info & looking into if/how Huawei was violating US sanctions by doing business with #Iran.
