trump yesterday complained that the chinese promissed to buy more pig products but they did not. since when did government start buying individual products. they only set the rate of tax and business buy. of course this is byond trump's understanding. somebody give him a lollipop to suck. he is good at that.
It is a threat and sadly a lot of you are going to find out the hard way in the long run.
These businesses in China are also funded with money from the State or The Chinese Communist Party. We see China exert more influence and power in the region and Hiawei have rolled out devices which are able and do control their society and their way of life to the point where the Chinese are going cashless with these devices similar to Apple Pay I guess.In China, the Chinese Government will therefore know every purchase you make. They will know every webpage you visit. Not unlike Google and Yahoo, but the difference here in the west is that we are FREE to use other alternatives which either don't track or do not track as much (such as Mozilla and DuckiDuckGo and more like them).
The difference though between Apple and Hiawei is that Apple are not US Government Funded, or collaborate and divulge any data to the US Government or its agencies or any US Allies like Australia. The US Government tried at one point to corner Apple, but Apple took them on and beat the US Government with freedoms already enshrined and protected under their Constitution.
So yeh, Hiawei 5G network is currently better than the US equivalent but it comes at a massive cost. Installing it basically hands control of your entire Telecommunications to China and the Hiawei firm. Obviously, this can't happen in places like Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Australia because basically the Chinese can switch your telecommunications network with the flick of one switch. They will also be able to track and build profiles for all our citizens. There is no privacy and no freedom here. China is not the USA.
So it comes down to this question. What kind of world do we want to see?
Do we prefer the American way of life - based on freedom, free speech and human rights.
Or do we want Chinese style totalitarianism where you are just a worker, a number, a resource for The Communist Party.
The MSM have incorrectly referred to this as a trade war. It isn't really a trade war. The amounts of money in this trade war are insignificant to America and Trump knows that. A few hundred Billion is only like 3% in a 22 Trillion Dollar economy.
This war is something a lot more and of much greater importance. it's about control of the masses.
There have been a few countries that have acted already. My advice to countries like Cyprus is tread very carefully. Don't go for the Chinese money if they offer it to you. It comes with strings. Don't let Hiawei in for the protection of every man, woman and child in Cyprus. If you value your freedom, think carefully and ask yourself a few simple questions.
TRUMP has been a refreshing international leader as he is dealing with this issue with the only approach that can work. The rest of the world is stuck in appeasement and trying to change China but China will not change as they have their 2025 vision of total global control and will in the end change them.
