China cites US for “unscrupulous” spying, wants IBM out of banks

• api 12y ago
  All these governments accusing each other of unscrupulous spying has got to be the biggest bunch of pots and kettles calling each other black in human history. The USA is, despite all its overreach and corruption, much more on the liberal side of things than most other large superstates. I think a safe assumption is to take Snowden's revelations as a baseline and to assume that nearly all nation states with the means are at least that bad.

    Most of them do not have the means, though, so nearly all nation states are not that bad.

      Russia, China, the UK, and the larger EU states certainly do.

  I'm surprised it's taken them this long after the Huawei scandal. Cisco should be next, but I assume Cisco has been so compliant with giving them the backdoors they need to spy on their own citizens that it's probably not on their immediate list for banning.
