So what you are saying, is that spying is ok.

Got it.

So you don’t mind if other countries spy on America, right?

I think we should expect nations to manipulate other nation’s elections as well. The US has a long history of doing that yet is horrified when other nations do it to us.

Why would that be a problem? It’s our job merely to make that difficult (ie not using Chinese equipment in your new 5G network)

Plot twist: Huawei hardware is more secure than American hardware.

We all know that Cisco equipment has already been compromised by the NSA. And that all the major American tech companies are in collusion with the federal government.

What we don’t know yet, is how secure Chinese built hardware and software is.

And the reason the US is pushing such a strong anti-China narrative is so they don’t lose their backdoor into all those juicy networks

We all know that Cisco equipment has already been compromised by the NSA.

Given where it is manufactured it’s reasonable to assume Cisco kit is compromised by both US and China. Whereas Huawei is only compromised by China.

It depends on what you mean by "you don't mind."

I don't hope foreign intelligence services succeed. I hope our people and systems are better than theirs. But I do expect them to do it. It would be wrong for them not to do everything they can to secure their nations too.
