Since this topic with Huawei started, I keep thinking that the US doesn't want Huawei to sell equipment to anybody, not so much because , you see, the Chinese will use the equipment to spy, but rather that they(the US) won't be able to spy using this equipment.

- president 7y agoI think it's common knowledge that every nation state spies. The real question is - which nation do you trust to spy on you? Last time I checked, the US's spying did not result in people getting kidnapped and tortured into black jails for something as benign as comparing their leader to a cartoon character.
- londons_explore 7y agoAs a US national, I trust China to spy on me far more than the US government. China couldn't kidnap me - they'd get huge political repercussions from the US. China kidnapping me on US soil would be very risky for them too. On the other hand, the US could totally imprison me on bogus charges constructed from spy data. If I was a Chinese national living in China, all of the above would reverse.
- president 7y agoThere are Chinese political and religious dissidents that would disagree with you here. EDIT: By the way you are wrong about kidnappings in the US by China. This has happened in the past and still happens today where China uses Chinese nationals based in the US to locate dissidents or “tax-evaders” and force them against their will to fly back to China.
- mrtweetyhack 7y ago"China couldn't kidnap me" You wanna bet because I'm sure even I could kidnap you.
