A comment on U.S. Officials Say Huawei Can Covertly Access Telecom Networks. Parent comment
The US liberated the Philippines, Indonesia, Taiwan and South Korea after WW2 from Japanese slavery. As well as a large part of China.
Those countries should be eternally grateful to the US.
In the case of the Philippines and Indonesia, the US was not under any obligation to do anything.
With the Philippines, the original US military plan was to simply bypass them, but it was a pet of MacArthur.
For Indonesia, the US defeated the Japanese then told the Dutch to GTFO after 350 years of colonization.
Both island nations are close friends of the US until today, with Indonesia doing most military training in the US.
The US paid a terrible price in casualties and war materiel. So get your facts straight.
