A Nominee of US Commerce Secretary Said: Huawei is Not Credible and has No Reason to Lift the Sanction

US Secretary of Commerce Designate Gina Raimondo made her first clear statement to Chinese telecommunications equipment manufacturer Huawei. She indicated that there is no reason to move out Huawei from the sanction list of US and cancelled the sanctions. She also described Huawei as “untrusted”, threatening national security in the US. Therefore, the US will cooperate with other allies to exclude untrustworthy Chinese companies from the construction of telecommunication networks.

When Raimondo attended the congressional nomination confirmation hearing last Tuesday, she did not state whether to continue to block Huawei. She made a written supplement to Congress this Thursday, indicating that she could not see any reason to remove Huawei from sanction list. “Regarding Huawei, let me make it clear: it is a security threat for the US and our allies if we use untrustworthy suppliers to produce telecommunication equipment.”

Myanmar protesters accuse China of backing coup plotters

Activists allege Beijing setting up ‘great firewall’ and call for boycott of Chinese products.

Since a week ago, Myanmar social media has been alight with rumours after a series of cargo flights confirmed by flight tracker websites from the Chinese city of Kunming landed in Yangon when the country’s airspace was restricted.

Protesters have speculated that the flights contained internet-blocking information technology software, or Chinese soldiers.

Anti-coup demonstrators have massed outside the Chinese embassy in Yangon over the past week, holding placards attacking Beijing or showing President Xi Jinping dangling senior General Min Aung Hlaing, the junta chief, by marionette strings.

Senior Liberal MP urges Trudeau cabinet to ‘wake up and smell the roses’ on China

The Liberal chair of the Commons finance committee says a budget recommendation calling on Ottawa to pull out of the Beijing-backed Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank should serve as a “wake up and smell the roses” moment for Canada.

Liberal MP Wayne Easter, who also served as solicitor-general under Jean Chrétien in charge of Canada’s security agencies, said that Canada needs to recognize the serious threat China poses to western democracies. He also criticized the fact that universities are still conducting research projects with Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei.

The Globe and Mail reported Monday that the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), a federal agency, is collaborating with the Canadian arm of Huawei to fund the studies.
