Apple Sues Qualcomm In China, Harms U.S. National Security - who needs an old fashion trade war..

Yes, the AML is technically a law as it was enacted by the National People’s Congress, the highest organ of state power in China, in 2007. The law, however, is a fiction, at least in practical terms, because it is less a legal rule than a club Chinese officials consistently use on foreign companies.
Having protected domestic enterprises from takeover, officials in the Xi era have adapted the AML to further Beijing’s goal of fostering domestic technology companies—in part by injuring foreign ones.
The most notable instance of the use of the AML for this purpose involves, perhaps coincidentally, Qualcomm. The San Diego-based business in 2015 both paid a 6.1 billion yuan ($975 million) fine for deemed violations of the AML and agreed in a rectification plan to reduce royalties.
