I see this 'Chinese people are to indoctrinated to be innovate' nonsense bandied on quite often. Huawei's technology is simply superior to American or any else's, and they developed that themselves. Yes of course they have no regard for imaginary property, the resolution to that is trivial: have no regard for theirs. This way humanity is propelled forward as the species benefits from all innovation.

"The move is fuelling claims that consumers will pay a higher cost for the 5G services if Australian companies are forced to turn away Chinese equipment suppliers such as Huawei, given estimates the company is a step ahead of its US and European rivals on price and performance.

Fairfax Media can reveal that US President Donald Trump raised the US concerns about Huawei directly with Mr Turnbull and other officials, but those aware of the talks said this did not mean Australia had decided to ban the company.

The Turnbull government’s message to the US was that the Trump administration must do more to prevent Chinese companies leapfrogging their American competitors and offering cheaper and better technology."
