China's At It Again.

There's a Chinese company that wants a piece of the U.S.Government and military telecommunications business. Huawei Technologies has long been interested in getting in on the gravy train. In the past, however, the NSA advised AT&T against doing business with that firm. Huawei's founder was a technician for the People's Liberation Army. Anyway, now they've hired a former chief cybersecurity strategist of a U.S. company to convince America that they want to play fair. Do you buy that? What are the chances that Huawei Technologies, alone, among virtually all Chinese companies, and one led by a former Chinese spy, promises they will not take advantage of any sensitive information they may come in contact with by way of providing equipment designed to transmit that information from one secret program to another? Do you think this is a company we can put our full confidence in? If you had secret information about what a company had just invented that would make tons of money for you provided that information didn't become common knowledge, would you give that information to a journalist who specialized in exposing secret information? Even if he promised not to tell anybody, with his hands behind his back? What if his fingers are crossed? Now I'm sure this Chinese company has only our best interests at heart. Much like the companies that painted children's toys with lead paint for export to America. Or those that included toxic ingredients in baby formula. I have every confidence, don't you?
