Fail to compete with China on innovation, just ban them on nation security!🥵
- read up on Volt Typhoon and then tell me you want western countries outfitted with PRC infrastructure
  
  Every countries hacks each other! Welcome to life!
  The USA even hacks it's so called allies or vassal countries!
  
  I don't want western countries outfitted with NSA/FBI/CIA infrastructure but here we are lol
  
  Volt Typhoon
  Is it worst than Israel's cyber groups, which the US supports?
  
  "oh no! hackers learned how to hack in... public universities! The horror of PRC-sponsored hacking!"
China: makes 5g infara and full set of bands for compliant phones
USA: Bans Chinese phones
USA: Makes half assed 5g infara so the megacorp ISPs can market the crap out of it
USA: Sells incomplete 5g band phones with horrendous compliancy and support for 5g towers
USA: "why would China do dis? We must ban them from 6g!"

China accounts for 40% of 6G patent applications: survey
It's pretty hilarious how the west keeps walling themselves off from the rest of the world.
It's nice that we finally have a global standard that works everywhere so when you're abroad you don't need to buy a local cellphone anymore. If it fragments again, many countries in asia and africa might go with chinese 6g for cost reason and fragment the world again.
