Here's what you need to know about President Trump’s brewing tech fight with China
Despite recent softer language from President Donald Trump in his fight with tech giant Huawei, officials guiding America’s 5G strategy lay out a simple reason the conflict isn’t going away: The U.S. is trying to safeguard the world from Chinese spies.
“If you want to trust that companies subject to Chinese jurisdiction won't comply with a request from the Chinese intelligence services, that's your choice,” Pai said. “But it's not a choice that I believe is a wise one when it comes to our national security here in the United States.” “You could imagine a situation in which 5G infrastructure that is near critical military or other important infrastructure could be monitored, could be managed or surveilled in a way that may be contrary to our national security,” he said. “And that is not a risk I am willing to take — and I don't think many people would be willing to take in this country.”
Pai, who was appointed to the FCC by President Barack Obama and elevated to chairman by Trump, said he favors a framework to review security implications of internet firms using particular equipment. “I've consistently said that we don't want to single out any particular company or country. We simply want to have a framework for evaluating risk at the front end,” he said.
