    THE SENATE has taken an important step toward holding Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman accountable for the murder of Post contributing columnist Jamal Khashoggi. On Thursday, it unanimously approved a resolution that assigns responsibility to the crown prince for the killing and says the regime’s “misleading statements” about the case “have undermined trust and confidence” in Saudi-U.S. relations. The vote was a powerful repudiation of President Trump’s refusal to accept, or act upon, the truth about the crown prince — and it should cause the president to reconsider.

    The resolution’s passage came on the heels of a 56-to-41 vote in favor of another resolution ending U.S. support for the Saudi war in Yemen under the War Powers Act. House Republicans have already moved to block consideration of that measure. But if Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) wishes to end his congressional career with a touch of honor, he should schedule a vote next week on the Khashoggi resolution. House members should have the opportunity to show whether they stand with U.S. intelligence professionals who have concluded that Mohammed bin Salman was responsible for this act of wanton brutality — or with a president who would bury the facts in service of (largely phantom) weapons sales. They should have a chance to stand up for the American values, including support for human rights, that Mr. Trump has repudiated.

    The evidence connecting Mohammed bin Salman to the killing is overwhelming. According to The Post’s reporting, the 15-member team sent to Istanbul to attack Mr. Khashoggi inside the Saudi Consulate on Oct. 2 included several of the crown prince’s personal bodyguards. It was headed by another close associate who called a top aide in Riyadh to say that he should “tell your boss” that Mr. Khashoggi was dead. The CIA discovered that the aide, Saud al-Qahtani, and the crown prince exchanged numerous texts during that time period.

    Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee and a sponsor of the resolution, was fully justified in telling the Senate: “I absolutely believe [Mohammed bin Salman] directed it. I believe he monitored it. And I believe he is responsible for it.”

    The Senate’s action ought to make clear to Mr. Trump, as well as King Salman, that the U.S.-Saudi relationship cannot continue without change. There must be, as the resolution puts it, “appropriate accountability for all those responsible” for Mr. Khashoggi’s murder. The war in Yemen must be brought to a swift end. And the reckless foreign adventures and crushing internal repression that have been the most prominent features of the crown prince’s rule must end.

    Notably, the resolution calls for the release of political prisoners jailed for advocating peaceful reforms, such as the right for women to drive. It names Raif Badawi, Samar Badawi and the women’s rights activists rounded up this year and reportedly subjected to torture and sexual assault. If the Saudi regime wishes to preserve its relationship with the United States, it should act swiftly. The Senate’s vote shows that Mr. Trump cannot protect the kingdom from the consequences of the crown prince’s criminal acts.

    Huawei Pressure

    The U.S. is maintaining pressure on its allies to avoid using Huawei equipment. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said deploying the kit would complicate partnerships with the U.S. The comments, made in Budapest, were particularly directed at Hungary and Poland. Hungary is friendlier with China than the U.S. would like, and Poland is reportedly considering Huawei's future in the country after an employee was arrested over spying allegations. Reuters

  5. Yes no problem copying the wheel, but is it fair if china puts spyware in the wheel and sells it all over the world, even to hostile countries chanting death to Americans?

  7. China needs to pay attention to intellectual property laws. Soon they will have IP to protect. What goes around comes around. You abuse our IP, we'll abuse yours to fullest. With AI and robotics , manufacturing can take place anywhere.

    The flightless Kiwi. A flight from Auckland turned around half way to its destination in Shanghai after learning it had been denied permission to land. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arden said the issue was technical rather than political but, days later, China backed out of a New Zealand tourism campaign the two countries were due to launch together. Meanwhile Party mouthpiece the Global Times reported tourists are turning away from New Zealand following the island nation's decision to block Huawei. New York Times

    Huawei Defiance

    Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei says the U.S. will not prevail in its crusade against his company. "There's no way the U.S. can crush us," said Ren. "The world cannot leave us because we are more advanced. Even if they persuade more countries not to use us temporarily, we can always scale things down a bit… If the lights go out in the West, the East will still shine. And if the North goes dark, there is still the South. America doesn't represent the world." BBC

    Huawei, or another. Huawei founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei has warmed to the spotlight. The formerly reclusive 74-year old gave two broadcast interviews this week, one of which was his first ever for an American network. Ren accused the U.S. of attempting to "crush" the company. On cue, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned the U.S. would have to reconsider its relationship with nations that deploy Huawei tech. But then, in a series of tweets about 5G and "6G", President Trump said, "I want the United States to win through competition, not by blocking out currently more advanced technologies." Fortune
