I think expecting that most laypeople connect the Huawei ban to 5G as a technology is really strange. The conspiracy theories about 5G all relate it to wealthy Westerners like Bill Gates, not meddling by China.
- dylan604 5y agoIt seems there are multiple consipiracies about it though. The Gov't is pushing that CCP will use it to infiltrate. This is more of a polictical paranoia consipiracy. That is quite different than the oridinary wacko crazy conspiracies being pushed by whomever is pushing them to say things like Bill Gates is going to do whatever for whatever reasons.
- ComradePhil 5y agoIt is clear to me that the "5G conspiracy theories" were fabricated by American interests when Huawei were 5 years ahead of them and it was very possible that Canada, Australia, parts of Europe and a whole lot of Asia would install Huawei's 5G infrastructure. It did backfire a bit when the American companies rolled out their half-baked 5G (which is absolutely horrendous and you are much better off disabling 5G on your phone for better connectivity and battery life)... but it was only a few burnt towers and not much else.
