This person thinks refusing to build your entire country’s networking infrastructure on equipment that has been shown to be backdoored by the CCP is racism. Internet routers and firewalls aren’t people, get your shit straight.

Well, the equipment are still there in the West 5 years later, and this was never about backdoors which have never been proven. It is solely about it being a Chinese company. Check your Sinophobia.

This is misinformation. You’re full of shit and you’re trying so hard to make this about racism. It’s about insecure and untrusted hardware.

If we choose to believe the US government -unwise choice- why in 2024 there are still Huawei and ZTE devices used in the US and elsewhere and why is the ~~-FCC-~~ US government dragging its feet on funding their replacement? If the backdoors were a concern they would have been replaced by now with utmost urgency.

The following news article is from May this year: https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/2/24147499/fcc-huawei-zte-rip-and-replace-funding-isps

FCC Chair Jessica Rosenworcel says the government has only allocated $1.9 billion to reimburse providers, which is $3.08 billion less than the $4.98 billion the FCC estimates it will need.

In the letter, Rosenworcel says almost 40 percent of providers in the program can’t afford to replace their equipment without additional money. She adds that several companies may have to shut down if they don’t receive additional funding to replace equipment, potentially leaving some areas without service.

Racism is blinding. You should be more critical. Actions speak louder than words.
