UK moves to drop Huawei as 5G vendor, citing China coronavirus transparency

[striver44]

The UK is moving to drop Huawei as a vendor for the country’s 5G cellphone network in a major blow to Communist China over poor coronavirus transparency.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson, now recovering from COVID-19, gave the Chinese company a role in 5G infrastructure this year, squashing opposition last month by 24 votes in the 650-seat House of Commons.

But now, concern about the Chinese Communist Party’s inaccurate reporting on the coronavirus has lawmakers crafting plans for a retreat.

“We need to devise a proper, realistic exit strategy from relying on Huawei,” Conservative Member of Parliament Damian Green told Bloomberg News. “Our telecom providers … need to know the government is determined to drive down Huawei’s involvement to zero percent over a realistic timescale.”

“The mood in the parliamentary party has hardened,” said Tom Tugendhat, the Conservative Party’s chairman of the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee.

“It’s a shared realization of what it means for dependence on a business that is part of a state that does not share our values,” Tugendhat said.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Friday that the pandemic originating in China shows why countries should avoid doing business with Huawei. President Trump suspended US funding for the World Health Organization this week, alleging it circulated false Chinese data on COVID-19, leaving other nations unprepared.

The US viewed Johnson’s decision on Huawei as a major blow to the “five eyes” electronic surveillance alliance among the US, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. US officials fear China could use Huawei to collect intelligence.

But this guy is try hard selling to Indonesian that American is angel which Indonesia shall sell their soul to them. He keeps posting all kind of praising of American and try to shove idea how Indonesia shall do everything American order them to including give up land to Australia or convert to Christian if needed. More or less raise an alarm bell over false identity. He is like a bot on CIA pay check. True Indonesian need to be aware of such agent doing propaganda work to change your opinion about US.

there will be no war between us and you, but it's in the best interest that Indonesia be kept away from China's orbit.
if you pay attention I once said that, the task to steamroll China is not our job, but the US.

nope, what I mean steamroll is not to occupy all the way to beijing. what i meant is the complete destruction Of China's Navy,Air Force and A2/AD system in the south china sea. which many would think to be a perfect cassus beli for an internal uprising inside china as a result of such humiliating defeat.or force china to seek elsewhere.
