Why the hell does any of this have to be China specific? Tomorrow the bugbear could be anyone else
Like, we want clean networks free of foreign influence and sruveillance, full stop. Or are they implying that Five Eyes surveillance is good and OK?
- waihtis 6y agoThis is more about Huawei in general. Russia, for instance, doesn't have a technology provider of similar magnitude and influence.
- chillacy 6y agoI think the parent commenter's point is that making laws based on objective rules would make it more future-proof. Laws once passed usually stay for a long time. Huawei wasn't a big deal 15 years ago. 15 years from now someone else their place.
- SkyMarshal 6y agoAs with most things the Trump admin does, this one too is sloppy. There was no need to call out the CCP in the document, it's obvious who this measure is primarily directed at. Also, characterizing it as an initiative of the "Trump Administration", instead of the United States Government or State Department, was unnecessarily political and also obvious. Also as mentioned above, China already has a Clean Network initiative. I wonder if the Trump admin copied that name, or chose it accidentally.
