Every fucking Chinese company is required to be an arm of their government and provide them with any information they request. It's not even a question, they are an arm of the Chinese government. They can get fucked

Same goes for US companies.

Have we learned nothing from Snowden?

That's more freedom than Texas

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 18 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Basically any site that they don't have full control over/can't buy favor from and has the ability to spread info they dislike, even if it's something as simple as 2+2=4".

And if you're looking for someone outside of China to blame for their internet shield, Cisco was responsible for helping them set it up.

[–] wax@feddit.nu 2 points 4 hours ago

And then Huawei allegedly stole Cisco's IP? Ah, the irony

[–] coaxil@lemm.ee 27 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 20 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

[–] Carrolade@lemmy.world 15 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Uh ... why SCMP? Isn't that a party-friendly newspaper anyway?

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

SCMP is critical of China, but they do soften the blow

[–] Xyii@fasheng.ing 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Oh my, the US military might have to change the name of the list to, "Foreign companies we're blacklisting for classified reasons". How terrible.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 149 points 22 hours ago (31 children)

Of course it’s not a military company, it’s an espionage company.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 61 points 22 hours ago (1 children)
[–] MCasq_qsaCJ_234@lemmy.zip 5 points 19 hours ago

Normally, espionage can collaborate with other branches of government, apart from the military.

Next you'll tell me all those cheap Chinese routers would allow our very telecommunications infrastructure to be hacked unless we're using end-to-end encryption.
