Americans complaining about spying by other governments, even if true, would be the top of hypochresy.

It is so blatantly clear that the motivations to fight Huawei are mainly because of losing the technology race, that it is not even funny.

That the US pretends to dictate to free countries what they should buy or sanction (Iran) is not cool.

That the US complains about state intervention when its whole technology lead was built on state investment is funny.

That the US complains about technology stealing when it built its industrial base by stealing European technology is insufferable.

You know what? Just let the world be.

So don't comment then, if you want to let the world be.

>because of losing the technology race

It's not that US companies are "losing the technology race." If you read accounts from actual employees of partners, contractors, and others in the industry who work with Huawei, what you will read is that apparently Huawei has set up systems and incentives for copying and stealing technology.

And then to pair up with that, it sounds like they have been extremely aggressive about patenting everything they can identify as possibly patentable, which would include, if you think about it, others' technology innovations and techniques that they have stolen.

So it seems these people, with these ethics, who also happen to be organized under a unit of the Chinese military, end up getting IP protection on things that others invented, in areas that are critical to sensitive global communication standards that will cover transmission of private, commercial, governmental, and otherwise sensitive data.

Looks like they are using the US history book on industrial revolution as a field manual.

>If you read accounts from actual employees of partners

I'd like to read those! Where can I find the direct cites or even comprehensive review with them (that didn't mystically pop up on the Net within the last year period)? Google seem to fail me.

> You know what? Just let the world be.

You think powerful countries just "let everyone be"? They normally act way, way worse than anything the US has ever done.

Read a history book.

Why the down votes?

Because a lot of people vehemently disagree
