Sanctions against China’s Huawei failed, birthed "Delete America" campaign across China
Sanctions against China’s Huawei failed, birthed "Delete America" campaign across China Kwabena Ofori Osei 55 Views • 2 years ago

Five years following strict technology exports bans aimed at Huawei, a Chinese electronics and telecommunications giant, the company is stronger and more profitable than ever. What's more, Huawei and thousands of other companies across China have embraced a "Delete America" strategy from all their supply chains.

Some officials maintain that the bans on Huawei exports and contracting have been successful, however, and point to laws that require US government contractors, the Pentagon, and allied countries to "rip and replace" Huawei gear from communications networks.

However, almost no real progress there has been made, as only a small percentage of US government contractors have made the switch, the Pentagon has asked for and received waivers each year so they do not have to comply, and our allies have flatly refused to replace Huawei telecommunications equipment.

When surveyed, Americans report historic low levels of confidence in our institutions, with corresponding high levels of distrust. Officials promised that tariffs will not lead to higher prices, that national security concerns necessitate banning affordable Chinese electric cars, and that Huawei represents a grave threat to the country. American citizens seem to reject most of those positions, as they continue to buy Chinese-made products in high volumes, and express to pollsters their hope to buy Chinese vehicles. As to Huawei, even the Pentagon and our biggest contractors are sticking with Huawei gear, given more costly alternatives.

Ukraine says it Helped Rebels Defeat Russia's Wagner Forces in Mali | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Mali's armed forces and Russia's Wagner Mercenaries have been handed a heavy. Tuareg separatists killed a number of Wagner & Malian troops near the northern town of Tinzaouaten. Ukraine's Intelligence Agency says it helped the Tuareg forces, by giving them vital information. Russia says that this proves that Ukraine is working with terrorists. Will Mali emerge as a new theatre of the Russia-Ukraine war?
