US Lawmakers Urge Canada To Snub China's Huawei in Telecoms (reuters.com)
Two leading U.S. lawmakers, both sharp critics of China, urged Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Friday to consider dropping China's Huawei Technologies from helping to build next-generation 5G telecommunications networks. From a report: Senators Mark Warner, a Virginia Democrat, and Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican, said they had "grave concern" about the prospects of Huawei equipment in Canada's 5G networks on the grounds that it would pose dangers for U.S. networks. "While Canada has strong telecommunications security safeguards in place, we have serious concerns that such safeguards are inadequate given what the United States and other allies know about Huawei," the lawmakers wrote in the letter to Trudeau. Warner and Rubio are on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
"Nobody tells us what to do!" [Buys China's stuff.]
[Insert resignated Pepe meme.]
(-1: Post disagrees with my already-settled worldview) is not a valid mod option.
Huawei is built off of what was stolen from Nortel Networks years ago.
If Canada allows them in, it would show they haven't learned anything since a crown jewel of Canadian IT was taken from them. They should have aggressively fought Huawei's attempts to sell internationally. It never happened. I always wondered why
When everything now has boards with chips made in China, why even bother?
Samsung, Ericsson and Nokia instead...
So South Korea, Sweden and Finland instead of China... Unless they get their chips from China of course...
"We claim that Huawei telecom equipment is rigged, but even after a whole decade of accusations there is no proof. Nothing. You know since before that our own equipment is rigged, but we still want you to buy it so we can tap your communications."
... Iraq possesses WMDs pointing at our heads.
Maybe it is time to review documents from the Snowden leak.
Now that USMCA is in place, it is absolutely wrong to buy inferior hacked Chinese equipment when the U.S. has products with superior back doors. Let's support 'MADE IN USA' so that the FBI, CIA etc. etc. can listen in instead of the Chinese.

...if it wasn't coming from a treasonous bottom feeder who has consistently turned a blind eye while Russia raped Lady Liberty and put a puppet ruler in the White House. And a Democrat who has proved to be, at best, inept when it comes to managing the worst excesses of Rubio, John Cornyn a couple of other Republicans on that committee.
As a Canadian, I want to be crystal clear: I am NOT saying China is trustworthy. Far from it. China is one of the most terrifying governments on the planet, with their efforts to meet and exceed George Orwell's worst totalitarian nightmare. I certainly haven't forgotten that the technological sell-out giving this appalling regime access to Nortel's patents is Canada's fault. It occurred under the Conservative Party government of Stephen Harper, Canada's most recent contribution to North America's apparently limitless capacity for breeding treasonous right wing pricks. Speaking of which...Marco Rubio is the last person who should be yapping at another country about security when he has sold out the United States of America without a second thought. And Warner should shut up because he's been such a little bitch while his own country is being sold out from under him.
Moderated down for plain, honest speech in three, two, one...
I've calculated my velocity with such exquisite precision that I have no idea where I am.
hitting his bong every day now that his boyhood dream of pot being legalized dream has come true. Maybe he will embarrass us on the world stage again soon. Dare to dream.
Perhaps we'll see him in Doritos and Mountain Dew or McDonald's commercials soon.
I'm not sure if Justin is an honest politician.
One that stays bought.
BOTH contain spyware. The US has a long history of doing the things they accuse china of, and they do it to their so called allies just as quick. So now you look at who is being the bigger asshole.....and currently that is the USA.
It's cute that they can't get along on anything meaningful, like putting a second rapist on the Supreme Court, nor can they actually get the Senate itself to do or say anything together, but two senators (1% of the US Senate) can "urge Canada" to not use a vendor because "we said so."
Canada has its own researchers, which use science to determine whether a vendor is worth doing business with, not voodoo. Canada has its own parliament, which other than the obvious advantage of having people who are still alive practicing politics, and not trying to return to 1973, allows a wide range of opinions to circulate.
Frankly the US would be better off if we listened to Canadian opinions, and not those of evil old men hell bent on destroying our freedoms like Mitch Mcconnel, Lindsey Graham, and Chuck Grassley. These evil old men have one goal in mind -- remove women's rights. Everything else is to be mowed down in this quest to restore the past.
Go, Canada!
