        Chinese politician camp, Huawei is owned by military camp.

        The question here is, are they spies or they are being punished because they are capable of making decent Android for $100?

      But mark, they «strive» for intelligence,

    ZTE gets $5bn Chinese government cash injection ... State handout won't play well abroad as SEC clamps down on Chinese firms

    What is one to make of the UK's £375bn cash injection into its banking systems, which some would say are crooked and permanently collapsing and a great Ponzi which does not have, in the heads of those and/or that which administer to it, the intelligence to eliminate debt and deficit with creative credit which delivers bounty and surplus for global distribution/equitable sharing?

    And how well do El Regers feel that UK government intervention has helped everyone ....... or did it just make a few in the know, incredibly paper rich and worsen a dire situation?
