Huawei’s Chinese Competitors Race to International Market Amidst US Sanctions
US Sanctions on Huawei have created a new competition for market shares and production lines amongst its Chinese competitors, Vivo, Oppo, and Xiaomi.
“[Huawei’s competitors] believe the sanctions against Huawei will more or less hurt it in the international market, and they may want to take a share of the market from Huawei,” states Derek Wang, an executive in charge of production at Realme, which shares a supply chain with Oppo.
Similarly, Xioami has placed orders for up to 100 million phones, up 50% on projections before the Huawei sanctions. While some say that these figures are too optimistic, an analyst at Counterpoint, expects a “clear year-on-year growth from Huawei and Honor’s smartphone rivals in 2021, but likely at a lower ratio than their earliest expectation.”

Walmart-exclusive router and others sold on Amazon & eBay contain hidden backdoors to control device
CyberNews researchers have discovered that Chinese-made wifi routers have secret backdoors which allow an attacker to not only remotely control the routers, but also any devices connected to it.
Backdoors are a means for an authorized or unauthorized person to gain access to a closed system – in this case, a router – by bypassing the standard security measures and take control, which is known as root access.
These Chinese-made low-cost routers, named as Jetstream, Wavlink and Ematic, usually are sold at Walmart, Amazon, and eBay.
CyberNews has also found evidence that an attacker has attempted to add the devices to a Mirai botnet, a malware which “infects devices connected to a network, turns them into remotely controlled bots as part of a botnet, and uses them in large-scale attacks.” It’s even possible that the router can steal your passwords on your devices no matter how many times you change them.

Reuters: Rear Admiral and Director of Intelligence of the US Indo-Pacific Command Has Made Visit to Taiwan
Amid the tension between Cross-Straits relations, Reuters quoted two sources in reporting that Rear Admiral and Director of Intelligence of the United States Indo-Pacific Command Michael Studeman has made a covert visit to Taiwan
Both sources have stated that the Taiwan visit was made by Rear Admiral Studeman of the U.S. Navy. According to the US Navy’s website, Studeman is director of intelligence for U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (J2), and has served in several key intelligence positions in the past, including as a first senior intelligence officer for China and has also completed an honors degree in Mandarin at the Defense Language Institute. Taiwan’s United Daily News (UDN) website reported that Studeman boarded the US military’s aircraft for executive transport C-37 and landed at Taiwan’s Songshan Airport yesterday (Nov 22).
The US Department of Defense has refused to respond to Reuters inquiries about whether Studeman had made a visit to Taiwan, while Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicated that a US official did make a visit, but refused to reveal further details. UDN reported that Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense, Navy and Air Force had not received any relevant information, and were hence unable to confirm Studeman’s visit. UDN also claimed that the visit involved US Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Andrew Wheeler. However, Taiwan Executive Yuan Premier Su Tseng-chang stated earlier that Wheeler is due to visit Taiwan in December.

Student Activist Tony Hon-Lam Chung Sentenced for 43 months in Jail over National Security Charges: "I have no regrets, I did nothing wrong"
On November 23, 2021, the District Court in Hong Kong sentenced the 20-year-old pro-democracy student activist Tony Hon-Lam Chung to jail for three years and seven months. He was charged under the #NationalSecurityLaw and convicted of "secession and money laundering."
Chung founded the now-disbanded pro-democracy student group #StudentLocalism in 2016.
Chung was accused of publishing "seditious messages" on social media and holding activities and protests with "secessionist intent" during the 2019 Anti-ELABMovement.
Chung's marks the third convicted case over the National Security charges and is the first person below 21 years old who is found guilty of violating the National Security Law.
In an interview before the sentence, Chung told Stand News that he had no regrets.
Chung decided to plead guilty only two weeks before the trial. He has been detained for more than one year since he was arrested in October 2020. "There is no other way to deal with the case under the current circumstances and the judicial system," Chung said.
On the day of the trial, Chung's voice was heard in the courtroom, "I plead guilty. I did nothing wrong."
Chung told the reporter that his baseline was not to "revamp" what he had said or done before. So, he told his lawyer not to plead for any lighter sentence. "I have done nothing wrong. I have no regrets," said Chung.
