Its not like the option is "be spied on by Chinese" vs. "retain privacy". It is more like "Who do you want to be spied on by". I would think the Snowden story ... both the initial disclosures and the lack of any meaningful change in the US (not to mention Australia) tell us all we need to know about this.<br /><br />Phrased that way, I really don't see why for someone in Australia (like me) it is any worse to be spied on by Xi's people than being spied on by Trump's (or May's). For most things, Xi's people are the least likely to care ... so it is arguably better.<br /><br />Since the ship on "spying" has pretty much sailed, lets take that situation as given (how many Alexa or Google Assistant enabled devices do you have in your home?) and see what we can get out of the fact that SOMEONE will be spying ALL THE TIME. For a start, A better/cheaper 5G system seems better than nothing.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815867514277794362.post-53348306098615939442019-04-04T01:11:51.485+11:002019-04-04T01:11:51.485+11:00You guys are all missing the much, much bigger pic...You guys are all missing the much, much bigger picture: global money laundering on a scale never seen, perhaps as much as $2T a year.<br /><br />Also, Mrs.Clinton has more power then anyone realizes.<br /><br /> You are all getting lost in the weeds with encryption blah blah blah, who do you think paid who billions to get business done?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815867514277794362.post-55907327551845376712019-04-03T03:05:29.264+11:002019-04-03T03:05:29.264+11:00There is a reason smarthphones have become the hub...There is a reason smarthphones have become the hub of Chinese life and why the platforms there have been allowed to permeate into every market vertical - communications, payments, transportation, etc. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815867514277794362.post-33429554793620231362019-04-02T15:10:50.208+11:002019-04-02T15:10:50.208+11:00China has proven its technology from facial recogn...China has proven its technology from facial recognition technology to credit system, nothing can surprise us more. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4815867514277794362.post-60875190055203406232019-04-02T11:33:00.393+11:002019-04-02T11:33:00.393+11:00It's worth noting that efforts to prevent the ...It's worth noting that efforts to prevent the use of strong encryption are secondary, but significant additional risk.
