China Telco Replaces Cisco Devices Over Security Concerns
hackingbear writes "China Unicom, the country's second largest telecom operator, has replaced Cisco Systems routers in one of the country's most important backbone networks, citing security reasons [due to bugs and vulnerability.) The move came after a congressional report branded Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. and ZTE Corp. security threats in the United States, citing bugs and vulnerability (rather than actual evidence of spying.) Surprising to us, up to now, Cisco occupies a large market share in China. It accounts for over a 70 percent share of China Telecom's 163 backbone network and over an 80 percent share of China Unicom's 169 backbone network. Let's wait to see who's the winner in this trade war disguised as national security."
We can only hope that the global financial system collapses. Maybe then, it can be rebuilt into something that actually works.
In shitty backwaters like Russia, China and most Muslim countries, the state controls everything, so if something happens in a Western country that the third-worlders don't like, they go nuts, because their small brains can't comprehend that in a free country, stuff can actually go on without the government having a hand in it.
The Chinese government are simply assuming that Western governments are as vindictive, backwards and thin-skinned as they are. This just shows what a bunch of pathetic losers they are. They deserve only ridicule.
Oh sorry, I'm just the engineer, decades in the making, that knows nothing about engineering according to ruby coding boy, and not an economist, presumably like ruby coding boy who can't even understand that I did not say the problems were not "decades in the making" and even had the words "probably even before" above.
Please understand what you read before you dismiss it as "nonsense" and don't just say I'm wrong because you've seen my handle before.
