Re: So, let me get this straight
Department of Defense has been granted a short-term waiver from the blockade until September 30.
Keeping up appearances an all that... you know!
And on September 30, they ask for another extension, and provide plenty of excuses as to why it didn't get done.
They pretend now because of the current business\political relationship with China. If they can wait it out until say ~ January when the new regime takes over, it may be a moot point. Someone will hit CTL Z and undo the stupid things that have been done in the last 4 years
