Trump’s Huawei Ban Confirms ‘Telecommunications Are Geopolitical Weapons’

1. Private companies do not represent a country. At least in the free world.

2. Communist Chinese technology thieves, screw them.

3. Technology: It’s the same as putting a loaded gun in the hands of a baby.

4. This network is becoming quite reflexive in their thinking. I'm not a fan of Trump, but you shouldn't base your opinions on the opposite of what Trump thinks. That's lazy thinking. Why would you trust a country's technology which spies on its own people and creates a dystopian social credit systems? Just because facebook and google are evil companies, that doesn't mean Huawei is good. Be reasonable people.This guy LITERALLY says 5:46 "i don't see what the Americans have to be afraid of with Chinese spying". GO F@%^ yourself man!!! Just because you can't see how it would be bad, doesn't mean it wouldn't be bad. F&*^ing idiot!

5. Algo que comentar?, Anonymous!

6. How dare China for even thinking about spying on us the Citizens of the fee world, and developing new technologies . This is the privilege of America and its 5 eyes allies, why can't the Chinese get this into their heads.

7. So the world should also ban US products too by their logic

8. Not many recall, but the same group of people used the same tactic and the same excuse to destroy Japanese chip industry, national security.
   And what does it prove? It explains a terminology, market economy. It means, your market, my economy, else, it’s national security issue.

9. Yasha got the echos.

10. The real, and ironic, truth is that they are mad at Huawei for probably not inserting hardware that allows the US spying on it's own citizens. What a joke.

11. It is pronoun Huawei ""WUA-WAY"

12. Ha! The Americans are upset because they can't install THEIR backdoors into Huawei phones like they do so easily with other makes… They are accusing the Chinese of PRECISELY what THEY are doing to everyone on existing phones >:-(

    Come on! Have people so quickly forgotten the wholesale spying that Ed Snowden revealed the American Spy Agencies are doing to phones ALL OVER THE WORLD?!

    As for myself I'd feel WAY MORE SECURE with a Huawei phone than ANY Idevice!!!

13. America spies on everyone and hacks anyone it wants (collecting all internet traffic) – yet it gets away it every time. Suddenly when another country has technological dominance it accuses them of spying – what bunch enormous hypocrites. I don't want to be spied on by America, China is not so much of threat to the world as USA.

14. They have more advanced technology and already run their internet without Google products.

15. The amount of resources and efforts put in by evil America to smear, suppress and crush Huawei show how damaging is Huawei to America surveillance system in the world. NSA, FBI and US will have hard time to install back doors and spying on the world with Huawei system. The world will be safer with Huawei system from NSA, FBI and US spying.

16. The majority of routers around the world are made by Cisco. With the new 5G rollout they could be replaced by Huawei. The NSA has for many years been planting back doors in all Cisco routers. Having Huawei routers will mean the NSA loses it's ability to spy on millions of people https://www.wired.com/2013/09/nsa-router-hacking/

17. Usa the swampy land

18. After Snowdens revelations and now this I like millions around the world will buy Huawei too.

19. Very confused and insecure commentator … BYE BYE

20. America will reap what they sowed.

21. “Might be used …" Lol! Ask Angela Merkel who monitored her.

22. Stop pronouncing Huawei huuuu wei

23. The majority of comments are from anti-america individuals. If America is so bad why do people literally risk their lives to come here? You guys are mistaken if you think American hegemony is over. China is our enemy and we need to be proactive and resourceful in our attacks and strategy.

24. Why do not China consider rare earths a national security issue and cut the US of…
    China supply 95% of the world rare earths…
    Would be funny.

25. Apple is more guilty, I guess we know the next move of china.

26. I want a flip phone.

27. So the US is worried China could spy on any data running through Huawei's systems, hm… wonder why they would think that?…

28. Without China and Russia looking out for the interest of we the American working-class, we would now be the most enslaved and degraded class the world has ever known.

29. Since I live in the US having the US spy on me is a "greater danger" but it's a moot point I have a DSLR.

30. Huawia technology?? That’s stolen American, German, British tech.

31. So let me get this straight. The US has banned Huawei for something that it MIGHT potentially do in the future? This is insane, particularly because any telecommunications company also could do the same thing. Does this mean that we have to return to using the rotary-dial telephone?

32. Only the US should be allowed to spy on people!

33. Donald Trump is the National emergency.

34. A little bird told me that Huawei refused to allow the NSA to put a backdrop into their products….

35. Well it’s a Quid pro Quo….China also has its own internet system, they must have very good reasons for it.

36. My research would focus on the proprietary technology that is going into it all. Is it all legitimately Chinese or is some of it 'misappropriated'. If it is primarily Chinese technology, is it being shared? Another question would be remote access to the data or the control of these devices. Is the control software proprietary? In the 'wrong' hands' could the devices create a communications crisis? It seems to me that China intends to create a surveillance state and 5G is the means to do so. I think that one question warrants an entire investigation. China doing so means that other states will follow too and the technology to do so might be easily implemented anywhere. All that being said, I don't know the answers to these questions. Nevertheless, I strongly suspect that it is or could be the case. On the other hand 'controlled communications' proliferation might be 'social and political management'. That again, is an entire area of research.

37. The person being interviewed here doesn't seem to be very clear to me.
