I’m sure that you will agree that any nation or state should be able to trust the supplier of the networking equipment that it chooses to establish its critical infrastructure. Rightly, or wrongly, Huawei has lost this trust in one or two dozen countries ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concerns_over_Chinese_involvement_in_5G_wireless_networks ) — irrespective of the jealous glidings of democratic Agamemnons (I think), but quite related to the potential for Trojan horses (IMHO).

“Huawei’s 5G networking backdoors (2019+)” any material evidence there after 4 years of witch hunting? I heard none except the baloney and mere guesses stemmed from US hegemonic struggle, trying to crush a rising economy just like they did to Japan in the 90s. Be real, don’t fake the jealousy to gilded righteousness or “democracy”

The more accurate info we get about this (once your contacts in China are awake), the better (I think)!

Today, the mildly hush-hush PRC accomplishment of being first in HPC ExaFlopping are similarly perceived as indicating that China is on a path to control world populations in cyberspace. Substantial investments in Exascale HPC have followed to help counter that, along with pushes towards the Zettascale, quantum computing, AI, and the re-shoring of advanced chip fabs (among others). It’s all good (again), and we can only hope that the eventual outcome will match that of the Sputnik-induced space race in terms of spreading freedoms more broadly across this small blue marble.
