OK, @business, @jordanr1000, and @MichaelRileyDC have graduated from ‘negligent’ to reckless.

Once shit like this gets out there, it doesn’t die no matter how thoroughly it’s debunked.
e.g., > 12 mos after @Nextgov debunked a fake statistic that ended up cited *in draft legislation,* it was still being repeated.

👆N.B., @TechRepublic & @ConnerForrest responded rapidly and removed all references to the bogus stats once made aware of the issue.

Spinning ’😱zomg China haxx’ FUD on evidence this thin – in a moment where so many in this administration have made it clear that they’ll take any excuse to get ’tough’ on China – is destabilising and, again, reckless.
On that note, does anyone else find the inclusion of a ‘graph like this in an article about state-spectrum hardware ownage a bit strange? 
Super curious about @jordanr1000 & @MichaelRileyDC’s compensation arrangements with @business. HT @EliasGroll businessinsider.com/bloomberg-repo…
