There is perhaps no doubt that the trade war between the United States and China has become a technology war. Both powers are trying to come up with innovative and revolutionary solutions that will help them overtake the rest of the world and establish dominance.anci. President Donald Trump's recent decision has also stirred up controversy, especially with obstructions surrounding a potential ban on TikTok in the United States. While statesmen attribute this move to rising tensions and a threat to national security, China does not see it that way and, on the contrary, sees such provocations as attempts to replace Chinese technologies with American ones, which will reduce the influence of the East. ByteDancalthough he negotiates with Microsoftem about buying the local operations, which would allow the application to continue to operate undisturbed, but China understandably doesn't like that and it's possible that they will try to take out their anger on the largest Western tech giant operating in the country, i.e. Appyou.
Two Chinese newspapers have also expressed their displeasure at Donald Trump and the United States, saying that the decision was a bit too far-fetched and that citizens are demanding some form of retaliation. It could be argued that China is known for its spying and meddling in the functioning of Western systems, and according to security experts, there was a risk of the application being misused for propaganda, but this is still just another addition to the already heated relations between the two powers. According to the local newspapers, the country has many ways to defend itself against the decision and can seriously damage Western companies doing business in the country, especially Applu. Users of the gigantic social network We also expressed their displeasure.Chat and Weibo, where they acknowledged China's retaliation and the need to take action against bullying by the United States. So if something Donald Trump he proved, so maxessentially that he reinforced Chinese citizens' contempt for the West and nationalism.

Commentator John Gruber also commented on the whole situation, according to which it is Apple first to strike and there is a real risk that China will try to do the same thing as the US government. Although this will probably not lead to restrictions on sales, or perhaps attacks on Apple services there, in the case App We wouldn't be so sure, and it's quite possible that the government will try to tighten the noose with more regulations. China could also take out its anger onCloudwhich goes hand in hand with iPhones. At the same time, it is important to note that China is not really interested in restricting Western corporations doing business in the country, but rather in mocking their integrity and offering some kind of alternative that will satisfy demand while at the same time cutting off some of the share from Western companies. Either way, we will have to wait for the final decision.
Only a fool can demand the publication of evidence from secret service sources, nor Microsoft, AVAST or Eset does not publish information that would inform hackers what is known about them and what countermeasures they can expect.
Trolls will probably be here.onekonetry to make various dubious analogies with the Huawei case, but they are all lame. Of course, the application also Apple whether Microsoft (like any software or hardware) contain a so-called "backdoor", used for service access (which can also be abused)... In the case of Huawei, it's something different. It's mainly about who has access!
A clear proof of the misunderstanding of the dangers of uncritical sinophilia and the illusion of a peaceful Middle Kingdom are the belittling and questioning comments of idiots on the Huawei case. However, a fitting analogy would be if world governments and companies bought on the eve of World War II. World War II communications equipment from Nazi Germany or Japan.
Only a fool can believe the ridiculous myth that Huawei can "resist attempts to interfere with its activities" by the Chinese secret service and army (which coordinates cyber espionage and is under the absolute control of the communist regime, the archenemy of the West). This is nonsense on the level of Comrade Čuba's claim that "JZD Slušovice is an absolutely independent organization that has no influence from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Czech Republic or the State Security Service" :) However, it is significant that the founder of the company, Ren Zhengfei, is a former army officer and the long-time chairman of the company, Sun Ya-fang, worked at the Minithe state security apparatus (we have an analogy in the Russian software company Kaspersky Lab – also suspected in the West of cooperating with Russian secret services – whose founder Yevgeny Kaspersky was a graduate of the spy academy, the school of the Soviet intelligence service KGB).
And if notorious liars such as comrade Filip alias agent Falmer or Chinese mascot Zeman declare that it is an "artificial case" or a "conspiracy of business competitors", this is de facto evidence that Huawei does not have a clear conscience.
However, the commentators are right, labeling the Huawei case as a political case. Any Chinese concern cannot be considered not only as a standard business partner, but also as a purely economic entity.
In the case of Maoist-Confucian despotism — which is based on the absolute control of all segments of society and the economy by the communist authorities and their secret service, international espionage and mass looting of foreign patents, copying foreign technologies and flooding the world market with counterfeits — prudence and suspicion of subversive activity of any kind Chinese companies on site. It's no secret that China's secret services and security forces have 100 times more workers than the US and the EU combined and, for example, hacker groups are directly tasked by them (as in the case of the Russian "troll factory" / the so-called Internet Research Agency) .
By the way: It's not so much about the mobile phones themselves, but about sophisticated technologies for servers, data centers and cloudelectronic services (processor chips that can serve as backdoors into foreign corporate and government computer networks).
After all, everyone knows that a part of every software or hardware is a so-called "backdoor", which is used, for example, for service access, but can also be misused. So it really depends on WHO has access to this "backdoor".
If someone doesn't see the difference, for example, between an American company Apple whether Microsoft and a Chinese company, based in a country where every sector of society is subject to the control of the Communist Party and its secret service, then no one will open their eyes to it. Comparing the operations of Western (European, American, Japanese) and Chinese companies and the riskiness of their products is irrelevant. Not only because, for example, I have not yet heard of American companies stealing and copying Chinese patents and smuggling copies of Chinese products all over the world.
They decided to "do business with the devil" (e.g. by downloading apps from Applecentury allowing the Chinese to surf the Internet without limits), so now let's nestThey say the devil is a pig.
No one forced them to do business with Komoushe.
