Apparently they’ve been accused of submitting small patches that individually don’t contain much useful code in order to inflate their contribution figures and other stuff like submitting low quality code? According to the thread on /r/Linux. I feel like I’m not getting the full story here, or even if this was a Huawei corporate decision or just a bunch of Huawei workers doing this individually. From the other non-explanation comments, I do get the suspicion that /r/Linux is pretty biased against Huawei though. I don’t really keep up with the politics of the Linux kernel so I’m not familiar with the Huawei situation, anyone know more about this?

      This is about work culture at Huawei, not China per se. China is not Huawei and Steve Bannon certainly doesn’t have any power over the contributors mentioned in that thread. Stop these unfounded conspiracy theories and start providing proof.

          Are you so ignorant of the hegemonic war between USA and China, that you purposely ignore the vile statements […]

          No, I also don’t like the stupid “trade war” politics and policies the US of A have imposed upon China. I don’t like the propaganda machine the US has going on. OTOH, you assume Qu Wenruo is brainwashed by Steve Bannon. You don’t even realise how ridiculous that sounds. If I was Wenruo reading your post, I’d ask you if you’re an idiot thinking that. This is about patches to the Linux Kernel, which you seem to know nothing about. I just realised your username and sighed because I wasted my time again.

              Go take a look at the comments today on reddit r/linux on the new RISC-V Xiangshan CPU news. 60-70% of the comments will tell you something. And it seems to be in line with the attitude towards Huawei for some random reason.

              The LKML is not reddit and Wenruo is a long time Kernel contributor. Whataboutism gets you nowhere.
