It also makes certain types of applications run closer to real-time, making applications like GPS hyper-accurate. Think about the implications for military targeting.

[Some of “Our Chinese” have been caught walking out the door with gobs of US technology on more than one occasion. Security at some US firms seems to assume that senior researchers and engineers are essentially honest.]


And yet the US companies I listed are run by ethnic Chinese, whose Chinese counterparts are miles behind. Security can’t depend on honesty alone. Compartmentalization, or need to know, has to be the guiding principle in the internet era, when all company data is online and physical access to filing cabinets in locked offices within patrolled buildings is no longer the bar to stealing company secrets.

So our implementation of 5g helps our adversary improve his targeting by piggybacking off our 5g network?

Agree. I remember watching a documentary called “A Faster Horse” about the development of the current generation Ford Mustang. I caught the fact that NONE of the Ford execs or employees depicted on the show were carrying modern smartphones despite their widespread availablity. They were all using antiquated flip phones that were practically unavailable to the public. I guessed that they were worried about large amounts of data leaving the premises. Probably disabled the cameras on them too. This is the kind of thing that US Corporations need to take seriously.

Interesting observation. It dovetails rather neatly with the FSB’s Move to replace computers with typewriters in certain instances, to prevent hacking. Let’s see someone hack a manual typewriter.

“The goal of free market systems is the increase in productivity by creative means. Power is diffused and control (i.e., decision making authority) is pushed down to the individual or group closest to the “front line” or problem.”

Stated another way; in a free enterprise system, individuals only enter into a transaction when the terms are mutually acceptable. An economy built exclusively on individual and consensual trades is thus imbued with perfect demand information at the micro level and is therefore highly stable, responsive and self-correcting. Capital flows naturally to its most useful application.

Conversely, a government regulated economy picks winners and losers based on non-market considerations, and must therefore by definition be coercive, go astray of that which is consensual, drift out of balance with true demand - creating bubbles, crashes, monopolies, inefficiencies, undercapitalization, shortages, surpluses, unemployment, poverty, pronounced wealth disparities and overall market dissatisfaction.

Government regulated economies are also powerful magnets for all sorts of corruption, since legislators and enforcement agencies are ultimately bought and paid for by wealthy lobbyists. A wealthy corporation or cartel need not puzzle for very long regarding where to find the right person to bribe - just go to K street in Washington DC - it’s not even illegal!

My question of socialists is this: Why would anyone agree to be forced into a transaction?

Nice dodge. You said"

"This issue might not be of importance to you but it is to massive numbers of Americans."

And what I asked you to provide link supporting that out-of-your-ass assertion.

And then you said: "You want me to provide a poll that says Americans like high-speed internet? Please..."

What is the basis of your assertion that 5G is "of importance to you but it is to massive numbers of Americans."?

I posit that few Americans are sitting around saying, "5G is important to me. I talk about it all the time."

Face it. It's just not something people care all that much about.

Ren Zhengfei is a high ranking member of the Chinese Communist Party. Before he became to Huawei, he was with the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army who did all the research and coding to make the 5-G chips which he wants everywhere with access to US and NATO governments communications secure or otherwise.
