23 May 2019

[deleted post]Whatever the US wants, the Philippines comply. Do you really think that the US has beaten Spain to its pulp and the Spain just gave-up their colony to US? The Philippines has been sold by Spain to US for 20Million USD through a treaty, the Philippines is still indebted to US and for how long, IDK. On the South China Sea problem, the US will not intervene, their lost with their intervention will be greater than their benefit and battling with the whole country of China is vastly different by just battling one of its companies.

        S. Korea should have volunteered to to this order without the US asking them since it needs the US for military.

        China is not defending S. Korea against N. Korea, it is the bully US that keeps them safe.

            China bans American services in China. Did China ban American companies from dealing with China companies based on spurious security concerns?

            Or are you too slow to see the difference?

              America is not afraid of being spied on by Huawei, but is afraid that it cannot spy, because it cannot penetrate Huawei's firewall.

                    six_tymes, 23 May 2019why? I mean whats wrong with back doors?Because those allow goverments and companies to monitoring your activities and locate you easily. Intercept your private data and conversations etc. So if, for example you are an active persona fighting against racism in a country, someone that starts to have public anknowledge. Be ready as you'll be soon be followed and monitored, your online content deleted and even receive some visits if not worse.

                    Even in USA they had recently cases of racism and even problems with the police in that sense. The country of freedom that don't give freedom, about all if you are not one of those under their ideals, and if you don't have enough support as a country from other countries or a great army and you have good natural resources... you could be the next target their army visit... if you are accused of somethig they invent.

                        South Korea knows better, Chinese are only good for business and money. Security, peace and freedom is worth so much more than a few extra Renminbi.

                                Some countries ban alcohol or whatever
                                Before the Internet the item you list are an extension of civil liberties and / or freedom of expression

                                This phoney National Security excuse being pushed by Trump and his cabinet lacks credibility it common sense that is why it is being touted by politicians not say someone at AT&T, Verizon, Cisco, Microsoft somebody who actually works in the area
                                First the Huawei 5G hardware will be located in the host country not China.

                                Worried about back doors are you
                                Itemised billing my network know a down to a Kb how much data I consume, but somehow Huawei can steal Terabytes of data encrypted by network and the network don't know

                                Again security issues why, if say China say out in a back door, and nobody in the USA can find it

                                This is not routing data to Chin this hardware is outside the USA

                                All this speculation 5G hardware was tested by the UK Government
                                Thi is simply the US who have zero proof, now the fall back argument if you use it the USA won't share intelligence with you

                                It has been months and not one fear that has been put forward is supported

                                The absence of 5G competitors have stepped forward to back up, we know it is Twitter abuse that means nobody will contradict Trump

                                Unfortunately Trump had not thought this through, BTW the unsigned Trade Treaty the USA wanted US to unilaterally impose tariffs, China unlike now could not retaliate

                                When the USA bullies other Governments methinks that is not evidence

                                  While South Korea can't do nothing and will forever be US slave that do what ever they told to do.

                                  I'm actually kinda happy US ban Huawei because at the end of the day it will forced them to stop relying on the US.
                                  Just look at Iran they can survive and keep growing even though the US tried to isolated them from the rest of the world and compare it with other middle east countries who lets the US messing around with their country.

                                    South Korea, US and now UK and other countries are launching commercial 5G networks before China...


                                    Samsung is way ahead of Huawei in this 5G tech... they've their S10 5G now in use by customers... where's Huawei?

                                    Huawei was a nice company selling cheap affordable phones buy not as advanced as many top flagships from other brands.

                                    RIP Huawei...we'll remember your cheap phones soon when flagship phones become unreasonably expensive.

                                        People should stop saying it is all about protecting Apple money. The price Apple charges for their stuff out of USA can keep them beyond billionaire for centuries.. Iphones for $2300, ipads for $3800, macbooks for $5000 etc ....
