A Huge Step Backwards

Technologist Opinion, on the Decision to Continue Supporting US Foreign Policy, by excluding Huawei from UK 5G Developments, amongst other things.

Today, it was announced the UK was to do a “U-turn” on its former policy of collaborative working with Huawei.

We’ve seen as the US has continued to escalate tensions agains China.

But it fools no-one.

Everyone can see who has the moral high ground, no amount of propaganda or Western brainwashing can change it.

China has become an economic World Power, because they deserve it.

They have adopted Western business practices where they needed to, whilst retaining the power of Government Funding, to push forward their technological development to a level beyond our understanding.

They also showed us how to handle COVID.

And we are ignoring it, deciding instead to play the US whack-a-mole model in the UK, despite the awful consequences we see rolling across the US, we are following them, instead of learning the lesson we should have learned from China.

Finally, we can see laid bare, the limitations of profit driven everything at all costs.

It has been tried against another system, and has been found to measure up short.
