It’s feared China will simply build up its domestic technology industry so it doesn’t have to rely on U.S. suppliers

The Trump administration’s decision to block American companies from providing software and components to Huawei will not actually make the U.S. more secure, according to a majority of experts surveyed by The Post.

He was among 61 percent of respondents to The Network — an ongoing, informal survey of more than 100 cybersecurity experts from government, academia and the private sector — who said the ban was a bad idea. If the effort “to reduce [China’s] overall dependence on the U.S. tech sector is successful,” warned Stamos, who’s now a Hoover fellow at Stanford University, China “could emerge as the indispensable nation in consumer technology.”

Chris Finan, cybersecurity director on the National Security Council during the Obama administration who’s now CEO of Manifold Technology, called the ban an “act of self-immolation in the name of security” and argued it “will do nothing to change Huawei’s or Chinese government behaviour over the long term.”

“Huawei has acted in bad faith for many years, and it’s no surprise it is finally catching up to them,” said Dave Aitel, a former NSA researcher and chief security technical officer at Cyxtera Technologies. Even some supporters of the ban, however, worried it might have some negative outcomes for global cybersecurity. Betsy Cooper, a policy director at the Aspen Institute and a former DHS attorney, worried we might be “entering a world in which big powers build their own technology in-house, and smaller states have to choose between them.”

The photo would have been more balanced had the Queen been in the middle and Mrs. Trump at the end. anyone that is respected would be intimidated by Trump. He is a bottom feeder that only appeals to the masses similar to Hitler or Mussolini's appeal

Mueller: No exoneration for Trump after Russia investigationSpecial counsel Robert Mueller said Wednesday that charging U.S. President Donald Trump with a crime was 'not an option' because of federal rules, but he used his first public remarks on the Russia investigation to emphasize that he did not exonerate the president. In America, though, if there is not evidence to convict then innocence is presumed. Trump is absolutely exonerated, Mueller was merely using clever semantics to goad Congress into impeaching because he is a partisan hack who should have ended the Russia investigation ages ago. Impeachment is a great idea. Run Dems, RUN! But the WH and Trump won’t and don’t ‘hear’ and accept this! Trump eventually believes his own lies and his staff and followers follow blindly. 🚶‍♂️
