A report published by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) warns China could gain “coercive leverage” – in essence, blackmail material – over Asian, African, and Latin American countries thanks to telecom giant Huawei’s strategy to provide massive amounts of Internet storage to dozens of governments at discounted prices.
The reporttitled Huawei’s Global Cloud Strategy – Economic and Strategic Implications, charts Huawei’s efforts to sell cloud storage bundled with administrative services and computer hardware to 41 countries.
Most of the client states for the 70 different deals the report analyzed are considered “not free” or “partly free” by Freedom House – or “non-liberal,” as CSIS put it – making them at least ideologically sympathetic to the authoritarian Chinese government. The bulk of Huawei’s customers were located in Asia or sub-Saharan Africa and classified as “middle-income” countries.
CSIS observed these are also the key characteristics of emerging economies that have bought into Huawei’s “Safe City” program – in other words, massive video and electronic surveillance systems.
In short, these countries are growing more prosperous, but also more authoritarian and more dependent on China for the tools needed to maintain their systems of government. They also happen to represent the bulk of the world’s population growth for the coming decade.

NetSuite decided that gun dealers were violating their terms of service and terminated their accounts. Those companies had invested tens of thousands of dollars in setting up their businesses on it. A lot of them went bankrupt afterwards.
Pei-Ping.
“China WILL use Huawei to blackmail global economies” There fixed it for you...
YEp, salesforce did this too.These people can change their “terms of service” at a whim and leave the customer high and dry. One has to always have an alternative.
Washington is really ramping up the criticism of the ChiComs.
I wonder what’s really going on.
What do globalists argue over in their secret chambers?
Just because they stole ALL their technology from Nortel and drove it into bankruptcy, why would ANYONE think Huawei would do them harm? </sarc>
At its peak, Nortel was valued at $380 billion CDN and made up almost 35% of the TSE 300. Of course,though the information came out, courtesy of PDJT, Justin(e) True-dope made sure that the information quickly disappeared from the press, to protect his pals in the CCP.
Of course, the 'two Michaels' remain in a CCP jail and have been there since December 2018. Good work on getting them home, True-dope!
In the same way each and every piece, bracket, screw, clamp, hand tool, power tool, fitting, electrical appliance small and large: printer, coffee maker, wall wart power supply is now made in China (and has been for at least ten years) I have zero doubt that any technological ability China possesses has at least 100 people studying it in China to figure out a way or ways to subvert or disable or destabilize any user of same, and/or to steal any data such a user has or passes through said tech or device.
Not a shred of doubt.
Oh, like Amazon AWS did to Parler?
Pretty much.
If you use their platform, you are totally vulnerable to them.
