China is the ultimate hypocrite. The love free trade and open borders for them in the rest of the world. Anyone wants to come to China or own things or companies in China or have these same rights there? Fuck right off. I don't feel bad for Huawei at all. Edit: For everyone whatabout-ing America at me. China shuts down tons of foreign companies they don't want operating within China. Got a website like Google or Uber? China can just steal your tech and make their own or force you to create a censored version or just ban you outright. You can't even sue. There no justice system. If they don't like your movie you can't show it. If they just wanna confiscate your content or property or IP, they can. Speaking of IP theft, Huawei is built on stolen IP. As people have pointed out they basically stole NORTEL (a Canadian company), possibly embedded spy stuff in their tech, and sold it back to us. The US shut down one Chinese company that is allegedly actively spying on our communications network. China is still ahead by about a million. And many countries spy on us and each other. But no one just sits by and knowingly lets it happen. This is also a unique case because Hauwei makes, not just consumer devices, but devices that make up critical infrastructure. Should any country let that happen? Why? China literally has their entire internet on lockdown. They control exactly what information gets in or out. If the roles were reversed and Huawei were a US company, China would have banned them long ago just like they have a ton of other US companies and you know it. Also, I'm feeling that the People's Republic is advertising astroturfing this thread...
