Is there anything that US gains from cutting off Huawei?

- merpnderp 7y agoThe US and China are ramping military purchases with each other in mind. So I’m sure the US at least partially made this decision based on the likelihood of a future war, or the higher probability of much more tense relations.
- mistermann 7y agoLeverage in trade negotiations would be the main benefit I see.
- rchaud 7y agoLooking "tough on China" ahead of what will be another very bitter election.
- mistermann 7y agoDo you believe it is only for looks? No genuine and valid motives?
- thaumasiotes 7y agoI'd definitely call that ("only for looks") the single most likely possibility by a good margin.
- threeseed 7y agoIt has nothing to do with this. There is a lot of pressure on Huawei also coming from Australia and New Zealand as well which given our proximity to China are not trying to be tough on them at all. I work in telco and can assure you that Huawei is a security concern especially given the changing landscape of technology (more complex, more containerised architectures) which allows for more attack vectors. People keep forgetting that China is a dictatorship, has no independent judiciary/media and a long pattern of IP theft, hacking etc.
- jimclegg 7y agoEntities in the US/Europe have been trying to take down China for a long time, the excuses to do it will be manufactured if required.
- slowmovintarget 7y agoHuawei is Chinese intelligence. So yes.
- PTcartelsLOL 7y agoGoogle is US intelligence...
- threeseed 7y agoNo evidence of this what so ever. And you have the ability to sue Google if that is the case. Try doing that in China and see how long before you are 're-educated'.
- jimclegg 7y agoA citizen can sue using classified material as evidence in the US? A lot of money should've changed hands in 2013 after the Snowden revelations if thats the case.
