America’s real intention towards China resembles that of the assassin – to kill. No matter what it takes and what dirty tricks it needs to employ, America is on a mission to kill China’s rising economic power and the spread of Chinese 5G technology, which it believes is challenging US supremacy. The trade war and accusations of China’s improper trade practice is just a pretext. Peter Navarro, one of President Donald Trump’s top economic advisers, wrote a book titled “Death By China” which advocated “death to China”, with the latter being enacted by Trump and Co. Not satisfied with empty accusations, Trump raised tariffs on Chinese imports from 10 to 25 per cent in an attempt to force a submission in negotiations. Perhaps Trump doesn’t want to buy anything from China at all. Perhaps he wants to force China’s factories to shut down and lay off their workers, creating social unrest that eventually brings regime change … [Read more...] about US beware: China has won bigger battles than this trade spat

Google vs Huawei hits millions of smartphone users
Hundreds of millions of smartphone users will be affected by Google's decision to sever its Android operating system ties with Chinese handset maker Huawei. The decision, in the midst of a US trade war with China, means that Huawei users will start losing access to Google's proprietary services such as Gmail and Maps, and be shut out of future upgrades to Android on their phones. The move by the California internet giant on the software front was compounded by news that US chipmakers have stopped supplying Huawei, hitting the hardware of its phones. Many customers affected Huawei sold nearly 203 million phones last year, up from 150 million in 2017, according to data tracking firm Gartner, overtaking Apple to threaten Samsung atop the global charts. For the first quarter of 2019, before its recent run-in with President Donald Trump's administration, Huawei sold 59 million handhelds, IDC calculated. Those users risk losing access to important upgrades to Android released by … [Read more...] about Google vs Huawei hits millions of smartphone users

British minister urges caution over Huawei role in 5G network
LONDON: British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has urged caution over the role of China’s Huawei in the UK, saying the government should think carefully before opening its doors to the technology giant to develop next-generation 5G mobile networks. His comments come after Prime Minister Theresa May conditionally allowed China’s Huawei to build the UK 5G network, according to media reports last week. The company faces pushback in some Western markets over fears Beijing could spy on communications and gain access to critical infrastructure. “We are right to have a degree of caution about the role of large Chinese companies because of the degree of control the Chinese state is able to exercise over them in the way that would not be possible if they were large Western companies,” Hunt told today’s Daily Telegraph newspaper. “That doesn’t mean to say that their role is automatically malign, but there are things like the 2017 law which requires all … [Read more...] about British minister urges caution over Huawei role in 5G network
News China urges UK not to discriminate against Huawei in 5G development
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - China on Sunday warned Britain not to discriminate against companies involved in developing the 5G network and to resist pressure from other countries over whether it should work with Huawei Technologies. Huawei, the world's biggest telecoms equipment maker, is under intense scrutiny after the United States told allies not to use the company's technology because of fears it could be a vehicle for Chinese spying. Huawei has denied this. Sources told Reuters on Wednesday Britain's National Security Council (NSC) had decided to bar Huawei from all core parts of the country's 5G network and restrict its access to non-core parts. Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, China's ambassador to Britain Liu Xiaoming defended Huawei as having a good track record on security and said Britain should "make decisions independently and in accordance with their national interests." "The last thing the world needs is the introduction of any sort of discriminatory measures towards … [Read more...] about News China urges UK not to discriminate against Huawei in 5G development
