Comment No real interest in security aside from espionage. (Score 1) 137

China stands to gain too much to not be involved. That's their primary way of technological development - industrial/governmental espionage.

Perhaps they could start explaining how Nortel ended up becoming Huawei and ZTE, amongst other things. Then they could also explain why Huawei has a LOT of ties to the PRC government.

Comment That's the company that Nortel unwillingly built. (Score 1) 108

Huawei is not only selling networking gear but quickly becoming an all-encompassing IT behemoth with only two problems to solve in order to be the one-and-only, neither of which will last forever: bad press in international markets and a too slowly growing (for Huawei's pace) internal market.

For nations that have seen the truth (US and Australia), they've rightfully limited their presence.

Currently the likes of IBM have only two clear paths: join ventures with Chinese companies (no other way to get into China), get the money today and hope for the better for tomorrow, or not going into China and just perish in ten to fifteen years -oh! and still letting go today's money to other companies that go with option 'A'.

There's a third option - survive by using a combination of influence over the US(to handle Door A folks) and business strategy to minimize the Chinese threat.

American designs don't sell.

The folks at Chrysler-Fiat would like to have a word with you, accentuated with the growl of an engine with all cylinders present.

People don't like huge ugly cars with poor cornering and badly fitting parts made of inferior materials and they prefer their cars to actually fit in parking spots.

Well, people don't like being duped about important aspects of the car, such as the engine. Faked audio and turbochargers won't make up for an underpowered car.

If Ford would try to sell their American models elsewhere in the world they would go bankrupt.

The environmental laws over there are to blame.
