Huawei Tops Intel as Top Linux Kernel Contributor for 5.10

How is security taken care of when contributions are being done by Huawei (backdoors in 41k lines of sourcode?)? But I am guessing there is no real fight between open source software and state actors - perhaps someone who knows more about the security of the kernel can comment.

Not surprising after I saw how many R&D offices Huawei has in Europe.

They basically placed their offices right across their competitors like Ericsson, Nokia, Imagination, etc. to the point that in every European Tech hub you will find a Huawei office.

What can congress do? They're already blacklisted. The only thing left is to shoot your own foot. Maybe avoid that?

I've seen nothing logical that came out of Trumps silly blacklisting except cashing out on the reputation the US had for pennies on the dollar. China is destined to be Europe and the US combined in term of tech. Time will tell if their culture causes problem for them.

Smart high intelligence people + strong work ethic + competition and not rent seeking by incumbents. They're only second to Israel in terms of average human intelligence.

Every top math Olympiad participant representing the US is of Chinese ethnicity/descent, this should be noted.

Lines of code are not a good metric for the importance of the contributions. You can see that the top developer actually made a single 26k loc commit that just removed a driver.

Eh you may want to read up about the NSA history of backdoors.
