[Angcheek]

[Meanmachine]

When I read this post under US sanction embargoes etc, find it sticky and ambush by so many atas ppl, their comment, logic and explanation makes it so so silly and frustration, Internal and external ploitics, ploy and foul play . . . 

[DACH]

But not as bad as America...

Singapore policies are internal.

American such policies affects the world.

Big difference.

This guy sums things up..

 

Look at America.. Very messy regulation.. Hope singapore just don't keep add regulations and then make it so complicated that many people will not realize what regulations and whether they accidentally broke the law or whatsoever. If singapore come to this stage.. = gg..

Overreaching is probably the word.

 

So what is this 5G thingy? It seems the US is feeling threatened by China's 5G technology? I don't understand this at all. Anyone care to share?

maybe just want to hold a card before the trade talk.

cannot deny that their 5G is also quite 'intruding'.

To be fair, this strict export control thingy didnt come thru overnight from Trump's administration. It existed way back in the early 2000s.... so it is not something new plucked from the air used to counter China.

 

Americans are quite strict on exporting tech to unfriendly countries...so too bad for this peh peh koot koot lady..

This is not the only overreaching legislation

[RogerNg_185295]

Yep. Its just news to the majority of us,

for us, none.

 

life goes on. 

 

[Tkseah]

curious why is CFO arrested instead of say COO.. i would think approving sales is under purview of operations rather than finance..

In principle, controlling the technology that sits at the heart of vital communications networks gives Huawei the capacity to conduct espionage or disrupt communications during any future dispute, particularly as more things, from autonomous vehicles to domestic appliances become connected to the internet. Countries using Huawei equipment monitor such risks carefully.

 

But the US also points more generally to China's National Intelligence Law passed in 2017 that says organisations must "support, co-operate with and collaborate in national intelligence work".

As a result, the US, Australia and New Zealand have all blocked local firms from using Huawei to provide the technology for next-generation 5G mobile networks.

That's three of the five so-called "Five Eyes" intelligence sharing community. A fourth, Canada is reviewing its relationship with the firm.

Like China forced technology transfer for foreign companies wanting to sell into Chinese domestic market?

[Jman888]

seem like the arrest is not legal, now they are arranging to bail her out.

She happened to be in the wrong time, wrong place. Quite sure the company's chairman, CEO and COO are also in the wanted list. They just need to seize anyone of the senior executives to build up the case for arrest/charge. Just bad luck for her!
