President Trump Wants US To Win 5G Through Real Competition (bbc.com)

hackingbear writes: In a tweet, President Trump said he wanted "5G, and even 6G, technology in the United States as soon as possible. I want the United States to win through competition, not by blocking out currently more advanced technologies. American companies must step up their efforts, or get left behind." While he did not specifically mention China's Huawei, many interpreted the comments as Mr Trump taking a softer stance on the firm. The U.S. has been pressuring allies to block out the Chinese telecom giant from their future 5G mobile networks, but the tactic meets considerable resistance. "Mr. President. I cannot agree with you more. Our company is always ready to help build the real 5G network in the U.S., through competition," Huawei President Ken Hu replied in a tweet, mocking Trump's frequent usages of the word "real." Huawei is the second biggest holder of 5G patents after Samsung and the top contributor to the 5G standard, and is setting its sight on 6G.

Still sticking with the "those dirty foreigners did this" narrative? Seriously? It wasn't foreigners who forced Hillary to ignore thr rust belt states she lost. If she had just made a couple of campaign stops, she'd be president today. But she didn't. Oh, the Democrats in those states were screaming for help, but the idea was to stick it in their faces and win without paying any attention to their needs. After all, the working class are deplorable, remember? Speak truth to the powerless!
