As an Australian can I share the opinion that our leadership would literally jump off a bridge if the US government said it was a good idea.

We have a long and storied history of making bad decisions to appease greater powers.

The UK feel so strongly about Huawei that they're getting them to help expand their 5G network.

That's not true; they're at least going to be ring-fenced and there's no evidence yet that they will be allowed to supply 5G at all. All the UK has said is that they believe the risks can be managed for some equipment.

The leak said they could help build infrastructure like antennas and base stations. That's far from being banned.

Care to share those reasons?

Because Australia, for example, decided to ban Huawei in a closed door national security meeting.

> Actually it's about security as well.

Since you name the "five eyes" countries. Is it because Huawei's products make it harder to spy on the population?
