UK moves to drop #Huawei as 5G vendor, citing China coronavirus transparency

//The UK is moving to drop Huawei as a vendor for the country’s 5G cellphone network in a major blow to Communist China over poor coronavirus transparency...

UK foreign minister Dominic Raab said that “we can’t have business as usual after this crisis,” vowing “hard questions” for China and a “very, very deep dive” on the origins of the pandemic...

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Apr 17 that the pandemic originating in China shows why countries should avoid doing business with Huawei. President Trump suspended US funding for the World Health Organization this week, alleging it circulated false Chinese data on COVID-19, leaving other nations unprepared.

The US viewed Johnson’s decision on Huawei as a major blow to the “five eyes” electronic surveillance alliance among the US, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. US officials fear China could use Huawei to collect intelligence.//

Geopolitics Unmasked: How COVID-19 became China’s Chernobyl

(30 Mar) Chinese diplomacy often uses giving plums in exchange for peaches. Today the CCP offers European countries plums in the form of masks, but at the same time, Xi Jinping has a well-prepared plan of how and when to ask for peaches for alleged help in the epidemic. Some may be told that since Beijing offered gifts, it is now time for Huawei to build a 5G network. The others may be asked to provide access to their wealth or to use the Chinese Yuan in the trade so that the currency will play a greater role in world transactions and replace the dollar. This alleged aid, without identifying China as responsible for the worldwide spread of the pandemic and agreeing to the CCP propaganda presenting China not as the source of the crisis, but as a solution to this crisis in other countries of the world, in the future, may translate into economic and political dependence of other countries and is simply a fraud.

UK made a firm decision on Huawei in 5G: foreign ministry's top official

//Britain’s government made a firm decision to allow China’s Huawei to have a role in building the country’s 5G phone network and as far as the foreign ministry’s top official understands it is not being reopened, he said on Tuesday.

//Britain decided in January to allow Huawei into what the government said were non-sensitive parts of its 5G network, capping its involvement at 35%.

//“China is a very important partner of the United Kingdom and I think it’s compatible to proceed with the Huawei decision and have the strategically independent relationship that I have been talking about.”Simon McDonald said.

The UK is pursuing forming an alliance of 10 democracies to create an alternative pool of suppliers of 5G equipment and other technologies to avoid relying on China, The Times reported.

Pompeo signs 5G Clean Network Security joint declaration with Slovenia

The U.S. and Slovenia have signed a joint declaration on "5G Clean Network Security" that aims to keep untrusted telecommunications vendors out of Slovenia, meaning the country's 5G network will bar Chinese companies like Huawei. The U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who is on a visit to Central Europe, said in a press conference "Free nations must work together to confront authoritarian threats”.

Pompeo met with Slovenian officials in the mountain lake town of Bled, Slovenia, known as the "most beautiful castle" in the country. He said, "The tide is turning against the Chinese Communist Party and its efforts to control information". Over the past year, the U.S. has signed similar agreements with Poland, Estonia and the Czech Republic, pledging that 5G suppliers would not be subject to control by a foreign government without independent judicial review, which effectively excludes Chinese telecommunication equipment makers such as Huawei from their 5G network.

Chinese government's technological military attack on Canadian company

In 2004 Nortel cyber-security advisor Brian Shields investigated a serious breach in the telecom giant’s network. This would only turn out to be an attack from China. More than just experiencing a breach in the network, files and important documents were also downloaded. A data theft was going on.

While the Canadian company was experiencing what seemed to be a massive crisis, Huawei suddenly replaced Nortel as the world’s dominant internet technology provider.

The Chinese government is not just stealing information through the usage of technology, but also 'providing' technology to Huawei, in order to gain information.

Inside Huawei’s campaign to influence Canadian public opinion

Canada is the only member of the Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance that has not taken any actions to ban Huawei from its 5G networks or curtail its participation. Huawei Canada maintains a dossier which ranks the opinion leaders by how helpful their commentary is for Huawei and the degree of their ‘media exposure.” Huawei’s headquarter has the copy of the dossier which contains profiles of 30 former politicians, university professors, lawyers and businesspeople. Among the high-profile opinion leaders identified includes former Quebec premier Jean Charest, former Conservative cabinet minister Stockwell Day, academic Wesley Wark etc.

Pompeo Raises Concerns on China’s Economic Expansion into Italy

The US state secretary Mike Pompeo has raised his concerns on China’s plan to expand its economic influence into Italy during his visit to the Mediterranean country.

Pompeo met with the Italian foreign minister Luigi Di Maio and co-hosted a press conference. At the meeting, Pompeo raised his concerns with Di Maio on the CCP’s attempt to leverage their economic strength in Italy to their strategic advantages. He also urged the Italian government to consider carefully the national security issues involved in the technology provided by tech companies associated with the CCP and the personal privacy risks it poses to Italian citizens.

Di Maio said Italy understood the US’ view and knew their concerns over the construction of 5G infrastructure in Italy. He also said he was fully aware of the responsibilities involved in handling safety issues and promised that he would stay alert as 5G technology is phased in.

Canada watchdog mum as U.K. agency finds security defects in Huawei gear

Unlike the British agency, Canada’s Communication Security Establishment (CSE) does not release annual reports on the testing of Huawei gear.

A senior research associate at Citizen Lab said Canadian to have right to know and understand the actual state what was going on.

The Globe has reported that Canada’s military and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service want Ottawa to block Huawei, saying it is not a trusted vendor and that its 5G equipment could be used for Chinese espionage or to disable crucial infrastructure during an international crisis.

Canada remains the only member of the Five Eyes alliance that has not taken action to ban and drug Huawei participation in 5G networks.
