Can someone give me a simple explanation as to what's going on with all the trouble with Huawei and the U.S. , etc?
SIGH
Thanks, but I have to read all those . . .
Simple answer is China will SPY on the United States !!
Off-topic, sorta, but I once met a contractor at work who said he worked in anti-cyber-terrorism. I said, does it happen much? He said the Chinese are trying it every damn day.Simple answer is China will SPY on the United States !!
The US wouldn't think of doing that in a miiiiiiiillion years would it...Simple answer is China will SPY on the United States !!
Yup. The logs of blocked access and rejected pings can be quite revealing.Off-topic, sorta, but I once met a contractor at work who said he worked in anti-cyber-terrorism. I said, does it happen much? He said the Chinese are trying it every damn day.

yes, but the weapons may simply be economic. Making better and cheaper consumer goods.It is important not to be naive about China. The rules for warfare have changed. Technology not bombs will destroy the US.
China represents one quarter of the world population - since earliest records. It has never seen itself as having an equal. The humiliation of the last 150 is seen as a minor blip. China since the 'Liberation' by Communists has been a military dictatorship it is not like any other country. It is not benign, neither is it an economy based on warmongering with a manufacturing economy based on arms production. Sooner or later through economic, technological and diplomatic developments the US will find it is losing sovereignty over its country and citizens.One would think that two giant countries whose giant economies are so completely and intricately meshed would want to get along better for the mutual benefit of both.
Oh this tribal species...![]()

Well the CCP writes the history books. There have been troublemakers but Tibet and Taiwan will eventually be part of China. The US is seen as very young and perhaps unevolved there is also the legacy of 18thC European thought that the US was a mistake. China is interesting and worth paying attention to. Vigilance not demonisation is important but Huawei is not to be understood in terms of conventional US corporate thinking. The threat is new and needs to be considered carefully. Surveillance is a major part of state apparatus in China and a massive employer.Of course! In all of history there's never been civil war in China has there?

Someone I met, who was in cyber security for one of our big banks, said they would log millions of hack attempts every month. Majority were offshore.Off-topic, sorta, but I once met a contractor at work who said he worked in anti-cyber-terrorism. I said, does it happen much? He said the Chinese are trying it every damn day.
I added the damn part.
