EU leaders: We won't follow Trump's Huawei ban

The leaders of Germany, France and the Netherlands said Thursday that their governments do not plan to follow the lead of the US and ban Chinese telecommunications company Huawei from building up their national 5G high-speed mobile networks.

President Donald Trump declared a national emergency for the telecommunications sector on Wednesday, citing “unacceptable risks” from “foreign adversaries” — including from cyberespionage and sabotage. The executive order empowers Washington to ban technology and services, including Huawei, which US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said would be blacklisted as of Friday.

The US has urged allied governments to exclude Chinese companies such as Huawei from the 5G expansion over concerns the Chinese government could use the equipment as a backdoor for spying.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel, however, said Thursday companies could participate in expanding Germany’s 5G network if they met established safety criteria. […]

Speaking alongside Merkel in Berlin, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte said the Netherlands would not exclude companies in advance of any auction for 5G networks.

French President Emmanuel Macron said separately that it was “not appropriate” to start a trade dispute over technology. The goal is not to exclude Huawei or other companies from network expansion but to provide the necessary security, he said on the fringes of an industry conference in Paris. …

Cool, then we can’t allow no Kraut systems in America.

Well that's fine. It's why we have countries.

These lefties are all for diversity and freedom, as long as you don't disagree with them.

Sounds like Trump did us a big favor healthwise, too.

Exactly! At this point it is nothing more than them flapping their gums to hear themselves talk.

When the rubber hits the road they will be doing exactly as President Trump “suggest”.

Pre. Trump could get these loons to jump off a cliff by simply saying, “I don’t think jumping off a cliff is a good idea”.

1G, 2G, 3G and 4G use between 1 to 5 gigahertz frequency. 5G uses between 24 to 90 gigahertz frequency. Within the RF Radiation portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, the higher the frequency the more dangerous it is to living organisms. …
Sounds like hype. Those frequencies are far lower than visible light (385-750 terahertz). Ionizing radiation has higher frequency than visible light, although a larger infrastructure of RF transmission can produce heating effects. (X ray frequencies are between 30 petahertz and 30 exahertz.)

These governments are absolutely making the case for the USA to stop sharing any and all classified materials and for the US to dissolve NATO

It's generally recommended to use sunscreen for protection during extended hourly periods in daylight.

It's basically mandatory to use some form of lead shielding for areas of the body not being xrayed, even with seconds exposure to xrays.

The 5g network, presumably, will be emitting 24x7.

At what point do those increases of frequency and constant exposure become a concern?

Europe will turn over control of its entire web of things to China. China will have Europe by the short hairs.

When the Germans are forced to eat their knockwurst with chopsticks...they’ll understand President Trump’s reasoning.

They’re working to violate the Iran sanctions, too.
