Re: Huawei is just a symptom
Well put. I'll argue 2 things:
1. Any given politician doesn't know the specifics of anything, at all. Thus observing the motives and behavior of a politician is kindred to a marionette, so couldn't it be that those behind the curtain aren't getting exactly what they want? If they are, you ponder the end game, but if they are not, how can you affect thier motives without the politician? You could try the politician, but... good luck with that. Ultimately politics are not the place to make the changes you describe.
2. More visas won't help. In fact, we've had pretty good visa policies for a long period. In that same period we also have arrived here, so? Maybe it isn't that we need more open doors to our country, maybe it is that we need more open windows in it. It's damn near now that if you're not born with a silver spoon, you'll never be able to contribute, and nationality has nothing to do with that, but what does? Maybe it's that same marionette.
