Another question is: How does the use of huawei in brazil affect the national security in usa [And offering Brazil 1 Billion in exchange]?
Yes, Huawei and China are a national security concern, but not because of backdoors, but because china is on the fast track to overrun usa in many domains, and if you are not anymore the dominant state anymore, not having on top of it the best technologies, having less working people, maybe losing also the dollar as the main currency of the exchange world wide...... yes under such circumstances you can profit and cash out not so well anymore. From an economic point of view, usa is behaving logically, but not by the rule, since they are part of WTO, and the laws of trade should be respected by all players. China is benefiting from the world trade, maybe the most, but because of merit, I suspect, since this is a free market, and we are not forced to buy from china. If you search youtube, you will find that some little and poor country in Africa, tried to forbid the import of chicken meat, because it was destroying their market with very cheap and bad quality chicken meat. And the big Western Countries, didn't allow it, and threatened them with the exclusion from WTO. The little countries have to obey the rules, and big ones, seems to have more choice when and how to play by the rules, and when not. I would have nothing against the USA, if they would have been honest in this fight
The video you posted, is very subjective, and biased [yes, if needed I can bring up arguments, but I suspect you noticed that too].
If you check history, you will notice that not long ago german was the lingua fraca in technology, science and math, till the first/second world war, when the germans started to kill and hunt the intelligent people just because of being Jewish. And usa attracted the most productive minds..... then came a second wave when they attracted russian scientists etc. Also today usa is working hard on attracting the best minds, but it doesn't work so well anymore..... and china/huawei is also investing a lot in attracting global talent.
My impression [without being deep thoughts on the subject] is that usa will lose this kind of war if they don't manage to make more states being against china. USA making so many efforts, indicates to me that the usa are not strong enough to fight alone against china.
I don't like to make such bad elaborated conclusion in public, but maybe you can also try to explain the previous question: How does the use of huawei in brazil affect the national security in usa.
Let your fantasy flight high.
