Not sure who has been following the ongoing spat between the USA and the company Huaweis, From the tech side i do not get it, any one making any kinda electronic device can make back doors into it, its a well known fact most encryption protocols and hardware made in the "democratic" world has back-doors openly accessible by our intelligence agencies. At this point in the modern world you can kinda safely bet once a thought has left your head someone can access it.
Whats scary at least from my position is not the above, fundamentally anything digital is not secure, i can live with it, but your stupid goverment has now banned USA companies from supping them with components for devices, firstly you now have lost your own back doors, secondly, its put a load more people out of work. Thirdly its not going to do much more than slow Huaweis down,

The parts they were buying from USA based companies gave them performance advantages, gave them a reason to respect IP rights etc. Now your goverment has shafted em. Does Trump and your bone headed goverment really expect that to stop a company the size of Huaweis making product? Do you seriously expect them to just turn there back on there industry and god only knows how many millions or even billions of R&D or do you think there going to be buying the next nearest part or simply knock of the American designs that they can now have no greater repercussions brought against them. Its not like your now going to get the Chinese goverment onside to support the IP rights of the American companies either.
Sure i get the principals of the ban, but this is the 21st century, no one country has a monopoly on this level tech any more. All you have done is shoot your selves in the foot once more and destroyed another one of your market leading technologies. Because its been proven time and again you can't build the complete devices there.
