Seagate Singapore was hit with civil penalties and settlements for shipments to Huawei under the Foreign Direct Product Rule.

ZTE, a Chinese company, was criminally prosecuted and settled with U.S. DOJ/BIS in 2017 for violating U.S. export controls and sanctions.

In the US, drivers kill pedestrians all the time and are barely punished.

Is this the same standard that should be adopted everywhere?
