It's a China vs. the world issue. China has been spying on everyone, for years. Political, military, commercial, makes no difference.

You can easily find examples where you can replace China with the US. And now with the current American leadership I can't say personally that I trust the US more than China at this point.

Would you prefer daily life like in US or China?

Perhaps Huawei will assist in the development of microg ( https://microg.org/ ) - a free (as in freedom) drop-in replacement for Google Play Services.

Huawei will never do that, the very concept of free or open-source is absolutely alien to them. But they could develop some kind of their own Play Services, compatible with Google.

white people have a way of saying incredibly insulting, demeaning things about non-whites in a way that it is acceptable in common discourse.

statement such as these need to be called out for what they are - biased opinions based on an irrational fear of "the chinese"

You do know that China actively has concentration camps, right? They use data and tech they've stolen to do it. You really think that's the same as Facebook serving you ads? Give me a break.

Well, from his perspective, as long as he's never going to China, do those camps matter?

I like the downvotes for expressing a cynical perspective :)))

So, the US having freedom really was just a meme after all.

TLS is still legal. So is routing all your traffic through Tor if you think the metadata is relevant. I can't imagine much useful material comes from wiretapping these days. Maybe once in a while, but the real value largely exists in the application layer, which is obtained in a different way.

When TLS is everywhere, what's the most reasonable way for law enforcement to surveil suspects?

The Shenzhen ecosystem has taken the idea of 'Open' and 'Open Source' further than perhaps anywhere else in the world. Huawei the company is built on that kind of information sharing. I highly doubt it's alien to Huawei.

Google have no choice but to comply with US law. This is now going to make a load of existing US owned (Huawei manufactured) devices less secure unless an exemption is agreed for things like software security updates. Not only that, the ban encourages a long term move away from US-based tech as alternatives are needed within China. This new tech will ultimately be available worldwide, but no longer owned or controlle…

> the ban encourages a long term move away from US-based tech as alternatives are needed within China. China blocked Google play years ago and repeatedly blocks every attempt Google tries to make to relaunch back into china [0] so they did that a long time ago.

It's bigger than China blocking Google's adware/spyware crap.

I wouldn't want to live in either country, but for entirely different reasons for each.

They weren't talking about simply any other country, but China specifically. In terms of government interference and freedom of thought, at this point I think the US is still pretty clearly the better place. From the point of view of the EU, though, it is edging closer to China.

How do you even know he or she is white? Why racialize a comment in this manner?
