Just look up the PRISM program run by the NSA. All software or electronics that contain American technology will have backdoor access to your data by the US. That could be Google (YouTube...), Apple products, social media....This is why they're desperate to force Tik Tok to sell an American company.
The five eyes had been desperate to gain access to gain intelligence on China after the US saw all of their agents executed for spying. They even spy on their own closet allies. So why not China?
Apparently, the US has been an open book for China for decades. Isn't this the narrative? If that's the case then what can Canada do about it?
In all likelihood, this is probably part of the $1.6 billion anti China propaganda approved by the US about a month ago to one of their agencies. Who knows what the total extent is worth. Just more evidence that their media as well as any other around the world with US influence can be bought and paid for when it's convenient.
They have deep pockets, unlike the US. China doesn't have wars, proxy wars, 900 bases around the world, and don't need to bribe allies. They also don't have homelessness, drug or mental health issues. All the money is focused on actual national security and prosperity for their people.The product of a true superpower.
The only surprise here is that they've held out for so long before retaliating against yankee illegal trade practices against China. This is very telling that China has exhausted every effort to try and resolve this issue amicably. The US had always know what China is capable of doing. Yet, they doubled down to call their bluff and now we see a taste of what they can do.
They also sit on more than $6 trillion in foreign reserves which I assume they will wait for the right moment to dump.They will not be saving us during the next financial crisis created by the US.
Taiwan will eventually be forced to side with China and pushed by the US no less. China is the second largest consumer of chips after Taiwan. The US is only half the customer compared to China and is looking to become independent of Taiwanese chip production.
Stopping Iran and NK from going nuclear would've been easier. If the US would've stopped traveling half way around the world and parking their carriers at their front door to intimidate them and conducting military invasion exercises with their neighbors this wouldn't have happened. Now that NK has the ability to send the US into oblivion, they've magically stopped venturing anywhere near NK. In fact, aside from some minor propaganda pieces everything has gone quiet. Which is bad for US weapons sales so don't expect it to last long.
Ukraine will be the next victim in another US led confrontation with Russia.
Good for China. This is another great example of the US shooting themselves in the foot, again. Within a matter of months after the US has sanctioned China with preventing them from procuring equipment to fabricate the amount of new Chinese semiconductor conductor companies have tripled. I'll give Intel, Nvidia and AMD about 15 years max before collapsing. Of course that will include everything else related except perhaps chip design. Hard to imagine what comes after 3nm.
Pretty sad when you have to use adverbs like, "potentially" to describe what may or may not have happened more than a decade ago to smear Huawei. I trust Huawei far more than any company from American allied countries such as the 14 eyes which unsurprisingly, Netherlands just happens to be one of them. It's also not blind trust Huawei has proven to be far more transparent than any other company on the planet. So it's of no surprise that they are still churning enough profits despite American sanctions to remain as the largest telecommunications company in the world.
You just sound like the typical Trump sheep making accusations without a single shred of evidence. There are no other companies on the planet more transparent than Huawei. They literally bent over to prove that they were clean and honest. Don't worry though they still are by far the largest Telco and conduct business with over 170 countries. I wonder why that is.
I hate to say this but Spotify probably has the biggest selection of music out there. Unfortunately, they don't stream in high resolution. If you're interested in quality streaming you should consider Amazon especially if you buy from them a lot. The best is tidal but they have a limited selection for me, probably still good enough for most. I just happen to enjoy everything including foreign music which is where they lack most. This is only important is you're an audiophile or just an enthusiast who simply enjoys quality music, which is what I am.
The picture shows the Muslims are openly practicing their religion and wearing their traditional clothes. I can confirm that is still the case today as I was just there for two weeks while traveling to China for 3 months. Xinjiang also happens to be an autonomous region where the Uyghur language holds official status. Best to go see for yourself if you're really interested in the truth.
The Chinese builds more war ships than the entire navy of the UK every year. Not even the US would dare send a carrier group to poke the dragon. China could simply dispatch a few fishing boats and a couple of their gargantuan coast guard cutters to block the Brits and then they'll be forced to turn around in humiliation.
"“For such serious decisions like a ban, you need proof,” Arne Schoenbohm, told news weekly Spiegel, confirming that the BSI had no such evidence." This coming from Germany's BSI chief speaks volumes. Germany, is by far the most significant market in the EU. Unfortunately, you would never see this in any of the five eyes news media. Since there are no other alternatives to Huawei's technology as the next closest competitor is about 12 months away from catching the UK will not be banning Huawei as they're already in the advanced stages of completion. Canada may or may not how to US pressure is difficult to say after the trade war dispute, but other than a couple of countries banning them Huawei will still be installing $100s of billions worth of 5G networks around the world . Not having that technology will put every other country at a disadvantage.
When the middle class was beginning to grow rapidly in China just over 10 years ago, there was a shortage of iPhones. Back then they were more than happy to part with a $1000 or more each, but now there are so many choices, that they've just become more savvy. They consume one third of the value of all luxury items on the planet, so the cost is not the issue.
