    Everything said about China, we do in the US in the name of national security. Since we have been using Huawei equipment for a while and see no problem, why do we say that there will be problems with Huawei’s 5G? EU does not see a problem with Huawei’s 5G. UK decided against using Huawei 5G because of US pressure, not because of evidence of backdoors. On China’s stealing our IP, the American public needs to see the specific facts. Right now, our leaders keeps saying that China steals but do not back up with any facts. This is an ethics issue. Not wanting to use Huawei’s 5G is our prerogative, and it has to do with national security. It has nothing to do with IP theft or Huawei may have a backdoor. We should say it like it is.

      The difference is, is that if the US government wants to ask for the client personal data from tech companies they can say no (a la Apple and refusing to unlock phones when the US government requested for a criminal investigation).

      Well said. I wish the US would stop dancing around the real reason – that the US simply don’t want any Chinese company to succeed globally, which is their pregorative and a valid reason like you said. It’s just sad that that have to keep saying these general claims of IP theft or backdoor or government request without producing hard evidence.

    I think the biggest issue is China could give each viewer a specifically catered video perfectly created to sway your personal opinion, and they could do that worldwide. The media already does this, but having China do it too is too far.

    I didn’t know that US tech companies decided against “Accumulating a Lot of Data”

      @I Made Ariana Ugh…because the US tech companies have outright have said “No” in the past when they requested data on clients. It’s not that hard to look up. The same cannot be said for a Chinese based company in China as they are at the mercy of CCP that can request data anytime they want from companies.

      @Colin Yuan And yet Merkel’s German government had no problem spying on the US…which is why Merkel very much did her best to brush the whole situation under the rug, because it would make Germany look like hypocrites. All countries spy on each other, but there are usually limits. With China and the way it is structured there are no limits.

      @NewYorker Joe ‘Anglos caused most of the world’s problems’ (David Cameron, British Prime Minister, 2010-2016). Anglo clans practiced centuries-long Slavery; from Caribbean to North & South America, by wiping out indigenous Native people originally living there, by replacing them with millions of slaves brought from Africa, by enslaving them and living off on their blood and sweat.
      Isn’t it shocking to learn that Anglo invaded nine out of ten nation, all but 22 nations in the whole wide world? Moreover, Anglo practiced centuries-long Colonialism in over 50 nations, by living off on their blood and sweat, as well as on those bountiful lands for natural mineral resources, which were essentials requirement for industrial revolution.
      Anglo still Colonized many parts of the world, including two vast bountiful Continents; North America and Australia Continents.Among the five main Anglo nations; Britain, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, all but Britain is looted from others.

      @Uncle Chinsyou Like I read it somewhere, The West’s so-called ‘Democracy, Freedom, and Human Rights’ are just marketing terms used by “the Rich”/obscenely rich Capitalists from The West to sell their game, subjugating “the Poor” throughout the whole wide world, and milking them for everything they can.
      In other words, Democracy, Freedom, and Human Rights are just marketing tools used by ‘the Rich’ from the West to sell their game, subjugate and milk ‘the Poor’ worldwide. In fact, a mere fifty (50) Capitalist elites from the West have more wealth than half the world population, which is nearly 4 billions.

    Well, google have amassed more data from everyone around the world. And if Trump or the CIA forced Google to surrender data for “National Interest” wouldn’t they do the same? I am seeing a lot of hypocrisy in the world and I find it ridiculous.

    Instead of nagging about an app, why doesn’t US just compete?

    Imagine all the data the like of Facebook, and Google have on every user. But don’t worry because China is the one that matters when it comes to your privacy.
