Possibly if/when China uses weapons against Taiwan or some other country in Asia according to Theodore Ts’o in that thread (here)
There are multiple sanctions programs, and at least in the US, for the
sanctions program which Huawei is in, there is an exception for
conversations and patches that take place in a public mailing list,
such as LKML. As a result, as the ext4 maintainer, I am comfortable
taking patches from engineers employed by Huawei, and I consider them
valued members of the ext4 development community.
However, note that China is not actively attacking Taiwai
militarily, while there are Russian missiles and drones, some of which
may controlled by embedded Linux systems, that are being used against
Ukraine even as we speak. Hence, it should not be surprising that the
rules imposed by the US Government might be different for Huawei
compared to other sanctioned entities that are directly or indirectly
controlled by the Russian Military-Industrial complex.
There are also other sanctions regimes imposed by Japan, European
Countries, etc., which might be more or less strict. So in general,
if you are not sure what you need to do as an US, European, Japanese,
etc. citizen who might be subject to civil or criminal penalties ----
talk to a lawyer.
The bottom line is that it is a false equivalence to claim that
sanctions involving China and Russia are the same. They very much
aren’t; one country is engaging in an active shooting war (or if you
prefer, “special military operation”), and the other is not.
Of course, if China were to militarily attack Taiwan or some other
country in Asia, circumstances might change at some point in the
future. Hopefully Chinese leaders will pursue a path of wisdom and
those consequences won’t come to pass. Ultimately, though, that’s not
up to any of us on this mail thread.
But Taiwan is part of China, heck both sides agree with that statement, the only argument is if the government of China is the Communist Peoples Republic of China, or the Fascist and Puppet of the US government of the Republic of China. Not only that but most of the world, including offically the United States recognize this fact, and have recognized the Peoples Republic of China, Tiwan is a province in rebellion, and it is a soverign right for them to end this civil war. You would not bat an eye if Florida said it was the government of the US and stopped listening, and the US military used force to bring it back into line
There is also the issue where we are starting to take our morals from governments, and not the other way around, this is a dangerous territory. I mean would say that Russia stepping in to both enforce a treaty, and end the genocide aganst the eastern Ukrainians would be a good thing. I would also like to point out that on numerous occasions, especially and most notably being in the first 2 weeks offered peace negotiations, that the US and UK told Ukraine not to negotiate and have been repeatedly sabatoging negotions, so once aigan I fail to see Russia as the bad guy.
Also Why is Isn’trel also sanctioned, they are doing an active genocide, the reason is because they are a puppet of the United States, and everything they are doing is endorsed by the United States, but should we not hold them in more moral contempt than Russia, if we are banning countries should we not consider putting Isn’treal on that list as well?
There is multiple programs to enforce U.S hegemony over global financial trade, indeed, sanctions are one of these tools. Linux systems are used by the terrorist nation of the United States, certainly, in military use against civilians. Most certainly, intelligence operations have used Linux systems as means to spy and infringe upon our personal privacy waivered away by our governance during 9/11.
Nations collaborating with this terrorist nation also certainly use Linux systems in their governance. So that brings up a question, why is the exception carved out if this occurs when our nation and nations collaborating with it are bombing civilians, sponsoring a genocide and engaging in clandestine intelligence operations against it’s own citizens? Especially if Taiwan is a part of China and in the wisdom of Chinese leaders to suppress a violent fascist remnant that has seceded from them.
Russia is intervening after Ukraine was indiscriminately shelling citizens in an ‘active shooting war’ right on their border in an active genocide of those who decided to secede after Maidan which was funded by the West in order to expand NATO aggressively and Banderite fascists took over. The same fascists who are wearing lighting bolts and skulls as “ironic” tattoos found constantly on Azov and others. By the way, are Linux systems barred from Ukraine after they shelled the DPR and LPR? I doubt it.
The wisdom of Chinese leaders are already apparent in that they haven’t invaded over 50 nations worldwide nor participate with multiple nations in a data-sharing pool on spying on their citizens (Five Eyes). Why are there so many double standards?

Jesus, liberals can never not be smug
Nor bleed their extensive chauvinism and short political memory all over the place.
