Re: Trade war (reelection) casualty

America's spy agencies lose ability to spy using Echelon when Huawei gear is installed, because the pesky Chinese refuse to build in backdoors for the US spy agencies.

Trump declares Huawei a security threat, but gets Australia to do its dirty work by threatening to stop sharing intelligence with Australia.

Never mind most of this intelligence is gathered from Joint Venture spy facilities in Australia, and the Navy using Darwin port in Australia.

Trump never was very clever, but seemingly more clever than Australian politicians, who continue to kotow to Trump
