West's hands are not clean, perhaps even more blatantly smeared on doing state sponsored disruption of infrastructure: Remember stuxnet and the problems they created in Venezuelas national oil company.
In the case of China/Huawei the hostile posturing has been largely coming from US/West and not from China. I see much anti China rhetoric emenating from US, but comparatively less the other way round.
- throwaway2048 6y agoIt's irrelevant if the west's hands are clean, we are talking about a decision that effects western nations themselves. Even if they preformed economic espionage, why in the world would they allow themselves to be put into a position where it can easily be done to them?
- billfruit 6y agoThen is it that the US/West need some kind of leverage over the supplier, which they can't get on Huawei? Is that the real reason? Likely even Huawei may not cooperate with any domestic espionage/intelligence gathering efforts of the US, I fear if it is not the real reason?
