Don't Trust China With America's Data Security
Real Clear Policy ^ | May 23, 2019 | Mark Rosenblatt

The NSA has asked its close security allies to prohibit the use of Huawei equipment in their 5G telecom networks. In a telling twist of fate, recently Vodafone revealed it found backdoors in Huawei equipment in Italy in 2011, now supposedly remediated. The U.K., a member of Five Eyes security alliance for sharing intelligence, has also said it would allow Huawei in some parts of its network. These are worrying developments.

It is worth examining the risks the U.S. is worried about in simple, non-technical terms.

Collaboration with china is TREASON. The government of china is clearly an enemy, not a competitor and only @ssclown traitors stand with them now.

America has allowed China FAR too much dominance in semiconductors. Dangerous levels of technology have been transferred to an aggressive, totalitarian government, all to make a few Americans a buck.

Trump is right on China. I could wish that more American’s could see the danger.

“This past January, the founder of Hauwei, Ren Zhengfei, said “No law requires any company in China to install mandatory back doors” referring to giving officials a key to access data on devices or networks. He continued with “I personally would never harm the interest of my customers and me, and my company would not answer to such requests.”

Very carefully worded. I could drive an ocean liner through all the “protections” for other nations classified information contained in that statement.

Exactly. Even if he’s not just flatly lying (which, he is) what would happen to his “me personally” guarantee if he’s no longer there? And what if it’s not a law, but a command from the supreme leader of his country?

“No law requires any company in China to install mandatory back doors”

Because communism is about the rule of law, and would totally want such a thing on the books?

Would China allow a foreign company to in install its communication systems?

“DON’T TRUST THE CHINKS”—repeat as often as necessary.

.............did I mention that they are NOT to be trusted?

I accept that we can’t trust the Chinese or any Communist government, but did you have to use a racial slur?
