China tells Trump to use a Huawei phone to avoid eavesdroppers Cheeky Huawei has advised the President of the United States to use one of its own Chinese-designed phones to avoid eavesdropping. The New York Times reported this week that alongside his government-issued secure line, Donald Trump frequently made calls to associates using a regular old insecure consumer network and his …
There's a man whose job is to live in a shed inside the Gomantong bat caves, Borneo, as a security guard to stop the edible birds nests being stolen. Having visited these fascinating and disgusting caves, this truly is the worst job in the world. Even worse than being on with Windows 10 beta programme (i.e. a 'customer').
Paris, because, why not?
"How does bullshit and bluster translate in to Chinese and Russian these days"
It just sounds a lot like what Demo[n,c][R,r]ats say. Shouldn't be any of THAT coming from Trump's phone.
(yeah anti-Trump'ers go ahead and downvote me, it's a badge of honor)
funny joke about the Huawei phone, though.

Why would you assume that anyone criticising Trump is a Democrat? Some vocal critics are senior republicans, others are just amused outsiders who don't even live in the US and are watching the soap opera. Yet others are just so jaded by politics that we criticise all of them, saving our votes for the currently least worst evil and then criticise them anyway.
Reminds me of when Pres. Jimmy Carter built a new embassy in the Soviet Union: "Russia tells Carter to build embassy using Russian labor to avoid eavesdroppers".
An inspection months later revealed eavesdropping equipment burrowed deeply into walls, the foundation, light fixtures, floors, ceilings...
He uses an iPhone to send his tweets. The iPhone his security people told him to stop using. And then -- get this, it'll really surprise you -- he lies about it.
so racist grandpa....
IME there's few other types, in all societies.
It annoys clueless Western liberals a treat to remind them that racism is a truly global currency. Fortunately they can't accept that, so there's endless joy in reminding them of this reality, time and again.
So, anonymously sourced story about Trump, and you swallow it whole, because....TDS ?
Even if true, how easy is it to eavesdrop on a late model iPhone anyway ? Maybe using a faked base station - and the likelihood of one of those in range of the White House is ...???
Trump banned them himself:

Though he probably doesn't remember what he did a couple of months ago. Not that the god-emperor is senile or anything...he knows exactly what he's doing :/
He'd probably stop asking to lock her up and suggest she should be executed. Double standard for Trump and his supporters, as ever.
It is a bit cheeky of Huawei to suggest this, as if the brand of phone would even matter for one that doesn't use mil spec encryption, verify it is connected to a legitimate cell site, etc. The secure ones the government hands out probably have a special baseband that's had all the "bugs" the NSA get Qualcomm & Intel to insert in theirs removed.

You think the NSA isn't bugging Trump? They unofficially bug everyone else, so why not?
Same old Hua
Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying spoke out in Kong's support on Friday.
The journalist had been "obstructed in every possible way and even treated roughly" when trying to express her views, Hua told a regular news conference in Beijing.
"The attitude of the British police has been inconsistent, and makes one suspect the reasons behind it," she said, calling on the U.K. government to "safeguard" bilateral ties.
'full of libtards who support Hillary' - actually, no. Just a handful at the top are like that [the sleazy types that slither their way to the top of ANY kind of organization, actually]. Rank and file FBI are like regular citizens, some support Democrats, some Republicans, and they keep their politics out of their jobs (as they should).
Because the FBI can not eaves drop on president Trump when he uses a Chinese secured phone. As said before in this thread, the FBI is riddled with liberals who willingly use their investigative power to obstruct president Trump his presidency, the less information they can get their greasy fingers on to conjure out of context accusations, the better.
