I mean, I’m not sure what China expects the US to do with a company whose very existence and arguably their success in the market is due to corporate espionage. China can reframe and project all they want, but they will always have someone keeping tabs on the cookie jar and they only have themselves to blame.
The entire US is built on corporate espionage of British secrets.
Corporate espionage is literally the way countries progress when disadvantaged. That doesn’t mean that the less developed country can’t criticize the more developed country for corporate espionage.

Wasn’t the original comment also a massive whataboutism.
Not really, since it is also a legitimate explanation for why people are always trying to hack Huawei. Whataboutism is when the argument has nothing to do with explaining why it happens and is only used to distract from the issue at hand.
Buddy might want to look at the original comment. Is it only whataboutism if it’s against white people? Sounds racist to me idk

The US would never base their economy on stolen IP! Except until we stole enough to be #1: https://www.history.com/news/industrial-revolution-spies-europe
Long before the United States began accusing other countries of stealing ideas, the U.S. government encouraged intellectual piracy to catch up with England’s technological advances.
That not an argument to support China using stolen tech, though. Just because US did a bad thing, doesn’t make it ok for China to do so.
The argument is that they should expect to be hacked when using tech stolen from other countries. By pointing out US also steal technologies, you’re only arguing that the US should also expect to be hacked, an idea no one was arguing against. You’re basically arguing against a point that hasn’t been brought up, yet.
That’s like Vito Corleone complaining about bugs in his office.
Good. Fuck you CCP.
Love people who downvote and scurry away. So brave haha
China accuses U.S. of hacking, U.S. accuses China of hacking…
China hacks the United States. Fact
The United States hacks China. FactThank you for coming to my TED talk.
Wouldn’t surprise me
But when they do it to their customers it’s fine.
What’s the point if everyone just hack everyone anyway? Just give up and publish all user data you collect to the public
spoderman meme incoming
Good. France needs to get in on that action. We codevelopped Stuxnet so I know we have the capability.
Fuck you then.
Stuxnet fucking infected everyone in hopes that it would get to Iran.
That wasn’t ‘Woot! France co-hacked Iran!’ It was instead ‘Woot! France co-hacked everyone so that they could hack Iran.’
Seriously, from the bottom off my heart, fuck the countries that developed stuxnet.
