How much did China pay you for that, Rachel?

Looking forward to seeing your execution for treason.

“Finland’s Nokia and Sweden’s Ericsson. “ are the only others I have see mentioned regularly in the press. Are there any US companies doing this sort of equipment?

Is Silicon Valley just Software Valley now?

The Governments of the world have been reading our email and listening to our phone calls pretty much forever. Google ECHELON, CARNIVORE, Total Information Awareness. . .

Samsung is also a big player in 5G network technology.

I work in this industry. The author is either poorly informed or deliberately lying. Huawei is not innocent technology at all.

Recalling the great 1990s movie “The Firm”. When Mitch and Abby move into their new home in Memphis, they have a conversation with the phone company employees who are out to install their phones. “We do all the installations for the firm”, one of them says.

Huawei is in the UK to do “all the installations” for its firm, the Red Chinese government.

I don’t think Trump and Mulvaney are at all concerned with anyone’s selfies or rants. That is not what China is looking at. I doubt they want China looking at classified anything traveling over the connections......maybe I’m naive.

Yep. Clearly bought and paid for.

I think her publisher here should consider its name and mission and reconsider giving her a platform:

“Rachel Marsden is a conservative political columnist, television commentator and university lecturer, originally from Canada but now based in Paris. She is also the CEO of Rachel Marsden Associates, a PR and media consultancy firm.”

I’m not as worried about Huawei spying on me as I am our own government.

I don’t want China anything.

I hope the entire country gets wiped out by their bioweapon.

Evil shouldn’t be allowed to flourish.

Actually, this article is hard to take seriously.

Take your 30 pieces of silver, Rachel, and go hang yourself.

America was safer when it knew that China was the enemy.

Go Trump! MAGA

US companies: Broadcom, Qualcomm, and Intel were all working on some form of 5G chip. T-Moblie has deployed 5G, but don’t know whose chip set. Intel may have sold its chip set to Apple but not sure..

Hauwai got where they are but tricking 3 US high tech companies to relocate in China, stole their IP, replicated it, undercut them, and the US companies went bankrupt - out of all that came Hauwai’s 5 G CCP chip set sold cheap or free, depending on the market.

Point 1 Kaslin:

“Mulvaney and Trump are concerned that your selfies and your mom’s Facebook rants about the neighbor could be laughed at by some military intelligence officer in Beijing via secret backdoors installed in Huawei equipment. Those who don’t know any better say they’re thankful that the U.S. government is looking out for them”

The author pretends that our military and intelligence services will not also be using 5G networks and therefor will have no real concern about the routing equipment running them. The author is an idiot.

Those who don't know any better say they're thankful that the U.S. government is looking out for them.

Your selfies on Facebook don't interest the Chinese. Your business communications do. China is the world expert at industrial espionage. I have read scientific publications in which Chinese researchers cited a DNA analysis device that was in every way identical to the American invented and patented device, except for the company name printed on it.

Yes, the concern over cyber security is very real.

Point 2 Kaslin:

“All the noise about national security is meant to obscure the panic that the U.S. can’t compete with Huawei’s technology at a time when the entire world is on the verge of upgrading to 5G networks. Economically speaking, the U.S. has no goalie and no players on the ice, leaving China free to score into an empty net — over and over again, all over the world.”

The author is ignorant. The U.S. 5G networks do not need Huaewei. They are just fine without it, and so would anyone else’s 5G network that did not use Huaewei equipment. Yes, the difference is a matter of cost, but the security angle is worth the extra cost. The equipment from Siemans and Nokia works just fine.

Agree. This is right up there with the liberaltarian “start your own facebook if you don’t like their censorship” nonsense.

Point 3 Kaslin:

“The suggestion that the U.S. should buy controlling shares of two European multinationals is being viewed in the context of a longstanding U.S. effort to economically colonize Europe by buying its industrial know-how piece by piece and using it to further American interests.”

Who wrote that, Pravda???? The language is right out of Soviet cold war propaganda.

Another Townhall idiot in the pocket of ChiComs. Thanks for reminding me to boycott Salem Witch Media’s RINO properties.
