(+) Yeah! (+)

https://www.cnet.com/news/trump-may-use-executive-order-to-ban-huawei-zte-purchases-report-says/

I own a Huawei phone. Let's be real here Huawei makes the best phones in the budget and mid-range market. I don't notice any spyware on my Huawei Mate 20 lite.

I thought Trump was suppose to drain the swamp, but it's bad policy after bad policy from this clown.. Huawei phones are really good, and because of Trump's paranoia about China unfortunately we soon won't be enjoying any of their products.I

isnt the whole point of spying to do it without being noticed?

I never noticed the FBI van spying on me, thereby FBI was never spying on me.

Where is the proof that the Chinese are spying on Americans through Huawei products? You do know when you go to your local walmart they sell Huawei laptops right?

I kinda don't have a problem with this

I know what I'm looking for I bought Mate 20 Lite for $270 and it was well worth the money. Tell me what's the best phone for $300 and under.

You didn't think it odd a flower delivery truck that was parked outside your house for an entire week, was a bit odd?

Trump has been bought by Apple.

I've got a Moto G5 Plus that I got for around $300 AUD, it's a pretty solid budget phone. I'm hoping to get through to 2020 using this phone.

I've dropped it like a dozen times, all the corners are dinged and scratched up - the screen is still flawless. If you're hurting for phones after Huawei gets fucked up, look into getting a Moto.

If we get serious again, this whole spying thing is over 5 years old and predates Trump https://www.reuters.com/article/us-huawei-security/former-cia-boss-says-aware-of-evidence-huawei-spying-for-china-idUSBRE96I06I20130719
That said, no evidence have been shown and even German security firms cant find any proof of spying.

I bought my Galaxy S7 for 300 last summer. :)

Remember when Trump essentially bailed out ZTE because China gave him money for a development

Watch out guys! This guy bought an almost 4 year old phone for $300!

If those communist bastards are using their products that are bought and used here in America as essentially Trojan Horses to spy on us then hell yes ban them all.
I can't imagine how anyone would have a problem with that.

I hate Trump as much as the next guy but this is ok in my book.

its pretty hypocritical that trump is worried about the chinese spying on US citizens, when the US are fine with spying on their own citizens and are about to implement something far worse (look at the five eyes anti-encryption trial in australia)

Didn't he only just unban ZTE, for shipping to Iran?

Last summer means it was way closer to 2 years old than to 4. Even now it's still less than 3 years old. And I'd personally take the Snapdragon 820 over the Kirin 710, on most days.

How is it okay when Huawei surpassed Apple in smartphones sold and shipped this year? How is it okay when millions of Americans probably own Huawei smartphones, and other Huawei products.

Isn't the Kirin 710 the better cpu? You have to admit the Mate 20 Lite is a damn good phone for it's price.

I bought the Mate 20 Lite after watching Flossy Carter's review on the product.

If China's spying on people, using them, the phone's popularity is all the more reason to ban them.

Increasing Chinese softpower is a threat to the West. Also, let's not forget that Huwaei's CFO has been arrested in Canada and in the process of being extradited to the U.S.

He should be okay with China spying on US citizens because we spy on ourselves?
That doesnt really track

I'd actually like to get a Huawei phone and see what sort of broadcasts it makes on the logger. See if I see anything that I usually don't see, but I imagine it'd be in Chinese

FWIW I have the OP tagged as China shill from a topic that I don't remember so take him with a grain of salt seel

A shocking turn of events

Hmm. A poster named darkstar4221 is shilling for chinese phones.

Anyone else notice that the chinese flag has stars on it?

And what color hex does the number 4221 get you? Red

Unfortunately, the red color of the Chinese flag has the hex de2910. I am sorry, TC, but this constitutes an unacceptable breach of code. The Party has been alerted and you are to remain where you are.

When Obama allows apple to install the backdoor, its GOOD.
When Trump stops Huawei from building the backdoor, its BAD.

If you can only afford a cheap chinese spy phone, you shouldnt have a phone

The broadcasts likely would be in code, but it would be enough to see where it's sending them, which is easy to do with a packet sniffer.
