The reason for even considering nationalization of part of the system is that China "has achieved a dominant position in the manufacture and operation of network infrastructure" and it's "the dominant malicious actor in the Information Domain," the document said, according to Axios.
Reuters reported that a senior administration official on Sunday said that the government wants to build a secure 5G network and it'll have to work with the industry to figure out the best way to do it.
"We want to build a network so the Chinese can't listen to your calls," the official told Reuters

Anonymous sources = fake news.
Period.
Axios has less credibility than CNN.
“”We want to build a network so the Chinese can’t listen to your calls,” the official told Reuters”
Good luck with that.
This is an old Military table-hitting thing. When they found out that all of this US tech is totally Chinese they got scared. And with good reason.
A mil report stated that the saturation of questionable and outright covert spy tech in our everyday electronics (In use by DoD) . It’s scary and a lot of people began to understand the next war, and how we were losing, or did lose.
When it comes to government abuses of the system, it’s already been proven that they abuse the private system anyway so no changes there.
The difference is that in a few years the government will have a tool so powerful that it will make our actual bullets obsolete. Everything will be tied into 5G. Everything.
The website reporting this is a left-wing fake news site.

I don’t care if the Chinese listen to my calls or read my texts. Surely they can’t be that bored.
Wanting to build is not necessarily the same thing as wanting to nationalize. It should be noted that we are continually reminded that the government isn’t all that good at running things and probably shouldn’t be in the communications business, IMHO.
5G will be the IOP (Internet of People).
Although I seriously doubt this story, nationalizing ANYTHING is a very, very bad idea. The US Government hasn’t been all that successful in its cyber-security endeavors; witness the multiple huge data breaches that have been reported in the media and consider the fact that not all of them have been acknowledged.
As I often tell people, “Government is what you do instead of common sense.”
But so that a politicized FBI and NSA can.
“The website reporting this is a left-wing fake news site.”
Heh, if it’s left-wing, it is by definition fake news.
I have a chinese made phone. I don’t care if the chinese listen to my calls, as long as they don’t share it with anyone else.
The US is entity that worries me - I don’t want my government spying on citizens just because they can, keeping files on each person. That is how genocides can happen once the wrong group is in power and has access to those tools. What obola did is just the beginning of the harm that could be done.
Fake News from Fake News, imagine that.
Just ignore this entire thread. ;-)
Considering that many of the big media companies are openly talking about blocking people and groups they disagree with, I can see this.
Utility companies have to hook up to people they don’t like. Treat the net like a utility
