EU and US should form a committee or even a court regarding China IP theft and should pursue act on this with full fury

  Or we should just tell China that if huawei wants to sell their 5g tech over here, they need to force tech transfer the 5g tech over to us to do so.

    No you can’t do that. The US and EU do not agree with this type of governance. It would set a bad precedence.

      Well, they should put tariffs and sanctions, sounds quite reasonable. EU and US is the only economic factor in the world after all. Whos gonna China sell to after that? Africa? Russia? :D

        Not sure if that was sarcasm, but surely there's South America, South and Southeast Asia, and Australia. Though, obviously not all these places are on good terms with China either.

          Forget politics, let's just see how well Huawei's Androids sell outside without Play infrastructure. My bet that people will only choose China's consumer software offerings is if they have absolutely no choice.

      Given that having the source code to a system is a necessary part of modern security practice, it would actually be a very good precedent. This assumption that it's alright for communications infrastructure to rely on trusting black boxes as long as those black boxes were designed by "allied" companies is madness. It doesn't particularly matter whether the gear is made by Qualcomm, Cisco, or Huawei - it's all suspect. The ultimate path forward is for mobile nodes to stop trusting the network, entirely. But that's a long row to hoe with regards to access authorization without leaking identifiers.

        Who is competent enough to review code? The governments? The crappy companies who the government would inevitably out source it to?
