Huh?

GGP: Has anyone published the evidence of Huawei being an "arm of the PRC surveillance state"?

GP: My father used to work for molex, one of his biggest complaints were fixing the molds after they were sent to Chinese factories. They would try to deconstruct them and couldn’t put them back together
