Part of me wouldn't be surprised if the chinese government was using some "functionality" in their equipment to spy but I also wouldn't be surprised if the US and UK wanted it removed because it prevented them from spying!

I'm not surprised MI6 wants rid of the Huawei equipment. It probably prevents MI6/CIA from installing back-door hacks into its equipment.
And curiously there's a widespread data service outage on mobile networks today....
It is - when you reject a regulated system used for the protection of this country and its law abiding citizens for one that is unregulated and dedicated to industrial and military espionage against this country, affecting the economy and indirectly your security, safety and wealth.

I feel exactly the same. What Snowden revealed was eye-opening. It was our own government! Yet nobody seems to care. Since then things only got worse as commercial companies (Facebook etc.) sell our sensitive private data to whoever can pay for --- all for $$$ for the rich.
Not to mention western telecoms enjoy the status quo / monopoly whilst having waaay too much influence in the government's legislation through lobbying (bribes). My Huawei mate 10 pro is probably the best £300 I've spend in a long while. Just a short burst & middle finger to big western conglomerates and good stuff for customers...not for long though. American telecoms already banned Huawei phones using the "classic" fear strategy (just like when corporate pigs went for oil after 9/11 excuse)
it took them 4 years to remove spying equipment? and to all these ...people saying its better when another country is spying on them is better, how dumb can you be? is like saying youd prefer taking a beating from someone else than your mother...

anyone been keeping tabs on what it's like for people in China?

Social benefits linked to citizenship score by 2020, using data garnered from state surveillance of social media etc. A poor rating = removal of travel permits, the type of job you can apply for etc etc. They even look at what you buy!
To have this system and openly implement it requires a serious data gathering and mining capability. Don't be naive. They ARE doing this. And what makes you think that won't apply to people outside the country?

Let me see.....America, Canada, Australia etc, are Democracies whereas China is communist ? The Chinese harvests body parts from minorities who don't tow the Communist line. China steals intellectual property, conducts industrial espionage, tries to buy all the precious minerals only to have a monopoly on their value, takes advantage of pacific nations by giving them loans they can't repay, illegally stealing Spratley islands off Philippines and declaring international trade route as Chinese territory. Takes full advantage of free trade agreement by breaking all the laws, Charges 40% tariff on all U.S cars etc. All I can say is, better late then never. Mind you the mainstream media will be backing China that's for sure.
Interesting that Snowden gets called the traitor (I'm presuming "etrayinh" was meant to say "betraying") with no acknowledgement of the US betraying their own citizens. We all know Russia and China aren't exactly trustworthy, but it seems like they have somewhat successfully managed to deflect a fair amount of wrongdoing despite openly wanting to completely break encryption despite all of the compromises they get. I Have to agree that I have little faith in the UK or US. When you can't trust your own country, who can you trust?

Employers already check social media in western countries.
You mean like advertising companies do in western countries?
Why would another country's government be particularly bothered about individuals in another country? And why would those individuals be bothered whether that foreign government is bothered? It's not much different from the numerous companies who already farm that sort of information in western countries. While I agree about it being incredibly sinister, how much effect would it really have on non-citizens? Said companies likely have more ability to act on such information than a foreign government.
They're hardly traits unique to China now, are they? Lets see how many non-Chinese countries exploit other countries for wealth or resources, charge tariffs where it suits them, conduct industrial espionage, etc.
Wasn't there a story about how the NSA played a part in US espionage on Airbus, on behalf of Boeing?
Again I'm not saying these things aren't legally or morally questionable, but I find the whole 'China is evil and the source of all our problems' witch hunt a bit tiresome, if not hypocritical...
Did you read the links I posted? They put it far better than I can be fit in a forum length summary
