Industries don't change because of one man. Yes, the Deming Method is a contributing factor but only because the Japanese industry with all it's Japanese leaders had the wisdom to learn what Deming was teaching. The fact that Deming is still trying to get American business leaders to listen indicates we can't say the same for the American industry. So it seems the point you wound up making is that the Japanese are better at learning the lessons than Americans are out of which Deming himself is an exception, not the rule.

And all your talk about Chinese phone quality, they use them just like the NSA in collecting data.
Well, that's what they TELL you. ;) ...and even if they did... What makes you think all those iPhones and Samsungs are any different? They ALL have the capacity to collect your data. I like using a cell phone, I think iPhones are overpriced and the only Samsung with a decent battery is the Note, which I don't want. Huawei has a phone that suits my needs for a reasonable price, so unless the Trump administration can present a better case, I'm buying it.
Besides, let's get real... What information can the Chinese possibly collect from me that will give them a green-light to attack us? Trust me, I'm far more concerned about Trump attacking our freedoms than I am about the Chinese.

Why would one expect our defense department to publish why they know the Chinese use their phones to spy on USA and give them the opportunity to fix/change how they collect data.
How are the Chinese going to fix/change how they collect data if their devices are being banned? Look, you need to think a little more about this stuff before presenting an argument. You make this way to easy for me.

Home of the "Screaming Eagles" the 101st Airborne. Every time I entered the base or got near the base, my GPS would change my location to a city about 50 miles from the Clarksville TN base.
Well, if you used a Chinese GPS that wouldn't happen ;)

A Chinese produced product in the 90's and our technology to shut them down. I knew what happened, but why do I have to know why or how it happened.
Well, that's up to you. Maybe you don't need a reason. Maybe you're fine with being told what you can and can't do. I'm not like that, if I'm told I can't buy a phone, I want a reason and I'm sorry but "national security" isn't good enough.

Something else to think about. You like foreign enemy produced so much, think about your AV products or even FB. Where are they produced. Do you think the Russians are interested in keeping their hackers at bay. I doubt it!
And this is exactly why I think it's ridiculous to try and control consumer technology. It's even more ridiculous to think banning Chinese telecom products will help prevent the flow of private information in a country where everyone is already giving it away on FB.
