Has Google just started to destroy the US's argument against Huawei over 5G?

Has Google just started to destroy the US's argument against Huawei over 5G?

Since the 1980's and very specifically 2012, the US has been falling behind the rest of the world year on year when it comes to Technology to the likes of Japan and South Korea, but this has escalated over the last 7 years to China.

Thus, the likes of the CIA, US State Department and Justice Department have been doing what they can to build up files on any Chinese company when it comes to Technology - full well knowing that the Chinese companies aren't as "in your face" when it comes to publicity or as brash/arrogant as US companies and officials constantly show them to be!

You only have to look at most countries around the world and companies as to how they behave compared to US Companies and Officials who like to hear their own voice by being in the media spotlight day in and day out!

It's like a case of "play by our rules or you aren't allowed to operate or play here" type of behaviour that the US is throwing around!

Since Edward Snowden met with a journalist to discuss about various documents in 2012 and how he then started to release a substantial amount of these documents by drip feeding them out since 2013, we have seen people pouring through them, picking out a bit here and there and yet when they try to highlight the Prism Programme - they are bombarded by people and denials saying how false all this is.

Whilst US Government agencies say that they can't collect data from US Internet Companies unless they get a FISA warrant due to the rules made in the FISA Act, it's funny that they do this either way!

So since way before the FISA Act of 2008 (as remember the act took years to produce before coming law in 2008 following on from the initial Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act - hence the name FISA - which was passed in to Law in 1978) - these various US Government Agencies are enabled to gain to people's data online across the world whether they admit this or deny it but with one simple exception..... CHINA!!

As the "online community" is behind a great wall (excuse the pun) in China, this has lead to Chinese companies creating their own equivalents of many online companies created worldwide. These people have either studied outside of China, researched things online or via books or got their hands on things and thought - How does this work? How can I make this better? How can I make this? - and thus, went on to create companies that are a mix of others.

Examples include the likes of Alibaba (which if you look at it, could be said to be a mix of Amazon, eBay and Google), Huawei (which when it started out was a version of Alcatel and Nortel before emerging further into a mix of Apple, Cisco, Ecrisson, IBM, Dell, Fujitsu, IBM, Nokia, Nortel etc) and WeChat (which again, if you look at them, it's a mix of Amazon, Facebook, Google, PayPal etc) which have become bigger or better companies which users want and that's lead to their huge growth in China - a market many US companies can't access - and now have over the last few years expanded across the world with some Chinese companies even floating on US, UK and European stock markets.

Yet the likes of ZTE, Huawei and other Chinese companies are been targeted, fined or having charges levied against them by the US Authorities over allegations of allowing the Chinese Government to spy on people or have backdoor access to people using their products, IP theft, Copyright, illegal trading, patent infringement etc etc - the list goes as they try to find any way possible to destroy any company coming out of China.

But wait a minute........

If you are a company - from China - this is all illegal but if you are a US company, you are allowed to do this?

Strange that isn't - if you are the US Authorities or an American Technology Company, you are allowed to do this....

Yes I know there have been allegations and accusations of this previously with regards to the CIA and NSA using the likes of Boeing, Cisco and even Samsung to hack and eavesdrop, but now, with this announcement that Google knowingly allowed backdoor access via Chromecast devices does seem hypocritical.....

This access via Chromecast devices through the DNS settings on peoples networks to see what devices they have and use on their home or maybe even business networks, shows that the US allow one rule for anything done by their own departments, Security Services or Technology Companies and exclude when it's in the Public Domain - why is this allowed?

But when similar things - "which are alleged to have been done" or "unfounded allegations made" - by the US Justice Department and US Security Services, they are treated as fact with no proof provided against Chinese Companies that they give access to the Chinese Government or copied/stolen ideas!

With this announcement and discovery by Paul Vixie -

'Google, this is bogus as hell' — one of the fathers of the internet blasts Google for how Chromecast behaves on his home network

- will the US Government, Justice Department or Security Services take action against Google?

No!!

Because for one simple reason - it doesn't gain them worldwide recognition on centre stage when they are becoming less and less important each and every day like is does against China.....

Plus if they fail to get their way - they use pressure through Five Eyes and the threat of withdrawing the military bases worldwide to use economic pressure on making countries side with them......

Strange isn't it......it's my ball and you can only play with it if you play by my rules.

It seems to be that very sentiment coming out of the USA, but have the US taken one step too far by allowing US Technology to illegally eavesdrop on people and access their information? But, any company coming out of China is not allowed to be better than US Companies!

And don't mention that Apple have lost their No 2 slot in the Worldwide table of Mobile Phone manufacturers to Huawei and are now even further behind Samsung!

Sorry America, but you're not top dog any more and just wait, you'll fall further behind over the next 10-20 years as power moves from Asia though to India and Asia and then into Africa.....
