US Tells Germany To Stop Using Huawei Equipment Or Lose Some Intelligence Access (theverge.com)
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the United States has told Germany to drop Huawei from its future plans or risk losing access to some U.S. intelligence. The U.S. says the Chinese company's equipment could be used for espionage -- a concern that Huawei says is unfounded. "The Trump administration has been pressing allies to end their relationships with Huawei, but Germany, moving ahead with its plans, has not moved to ban the company from its networks," reports The Verge. From the report: According to the Journal, a letter sent from the U.S. Ambassador to Germany warns the country that the U.S. will stop sharing some secrets if it allows Huawei to work on its next-generation 5G infrastructure. The letter, according to the Journal, argues that network security can't be effectively managed by audits of equipment or software. While the U.S. plans to continue sharing intelligence with Germany regardless, the Journal reports, officials plan to curtail the scope of that information if Huawei equipment is used in German infrastructure.
Actually the issue with this story is that it was the German spy agencies that spied on the chancellor, then sent all the information to the NSA.
That story isn't credible, and no-one has produced a photograph of the chip.
Being wrong about something and admitting to it != fake news. Fake news is when you misrepresenting something fake as news without any attempt to correct it because the intent all along was to present that falsehood as truth. The fact that there were multiple news sources that challenged the story proves that, oddly enough, the system works. In a fake news world, we'd all still believe that those chips were real. In such a world, we wouldn't be so quick to call out the bullshit that is the US government going after Huawei without offering proof.
Ericsson or Nokia would be my guess. Both are major telecom manufacturers with a heavy investment in 5G. Both are European companies.
Learning HOW to think is more important than learning WHAT to think.
Americans moaning about immigration like their country isn't based off the fucking concept.
The world moaning about ancient history as if it's fucking relevant anymore. Those that migrated to the US hundreds of years ago weren't.....
BZZT.
Immigration peak was actually in 1930. That's not 'hundreds of years ago'.
