Not really surprised, why would you allow US companies to build a network backbone using a company that has close ties with your strategic rival? Ren Zhengfei was in the PLA and the public private partnership operates very differently in China. As if the IP theft and espionage problems aren't bad enough.
It's not a coincidence that many Chinese devices have "bugs" that have them phone home.
Do you think China would allow their telecom companies to build out using Cisco gear?
- pishpash 7y agoPretty sure China used a lot of Cisco gear, including to implement the Great Firewall: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/04/ciscos-latest-attempt-dodge-responsibility-facilitating-human-rights-abuses-export https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/04/ciscos-latest-attempt-...
- jorblumesea 7y agoSure, after transferring their IP and source code ;) That's the game China is playing.
- Laforet 7y agoCisco did sie Huawei over the alleged violation of EIGRP patents. Other than that I couldn't name any single case of IP theft, can you?
- millstone 7y agoYes an enormous amount, from every economic sector. Too many to name and trivial to find via Google.
- Laforet 7y agoThis is the typical handwaving response I expected, thank you for confirming my suspicion that you can't actually name any.
