Does 5G Technology Justify Selling One's National Security to China?

By Max Coutinho

Prime Minister Theresa May sacked Her Majesty’s Defence Minister, Gavin Williamson, because he allegedly leaked to the press that Her Majesty’s Government will allow the Chinese to build part of the UK’s 5G Internet system. Gavin Williamson says he is innocent, and he may very well be, but that’s not even the point: the point is whoever leaked the information paid a very patriotic service to the Kingdom – an internet system is a matter of National Security and allowing the Chinese in jeopardises the UK's Security, it’s that simple. China is presently the biggest threat to the West’s Security and Stability. 

The 5G Internet System

Apparently, there are only 5 companies in the whole world that offer 5G radio hardware and systems: Samsung, Ericsson, Nokia, Huawei and ZTE. So, why are world governments bent on surrendering their national security to China when they have Sweden, Finland and South Korea to supply them with the same system? And why is the South Korea Government using the Chinese 5G when it has Samsung to supply the nation with the same system? Apparently, Chinese money has a very strong scent. 

Secure 5G networks will absolutely be a vital link to America’s prosperity and national security in the 21st century. We cannot allow any other country to out-compete the United States in this powerful industry of the future.  – President Trump (source)

The President of the United States of America has ordered the necessary deregulation to free up more Spectrum and build the required infrastructure to put the US at the Top of 5G Nations. This is what we call government creative thinking - the kind that puts countries on top of the pyramid. 

By the end of this year, the United States will have 92 5G deployments in markets nationwide.  The next nearest country, South Korea, will have 48. (..) But we must not rest; the race is far from over. – President Trump 

We have to wonder what is making world leaders falling for the Red Dragon’s charms when everybody knows that China specialised itself in spying on other countries, on stealing their intellectual property and on recruiting people in those countries to serve as their spies. When one is up against a State like this, a State that controls everything, every company, every person within and without its borders; a State that doesn’t inspire confidence (e.g. when we go to China we can’t even take our own devices lest they are bugged or infected with malicious software or spyware); one must ponder deeply before allowing them into our communications system. 

Why Beijing Should Tone it down

China is an imperialistic State used to have the world silent when it misbehaves. The New Silk Road is nothing but a subtle form of extortion, a gate to infiltrate agents and a vehicle to expand its dominance – in a very politically correct fashion (i.e. they offer financial assistance to countries, they invest in their companies but then demand the control management of their Ports and the extraction of natural resources with little oversight – often endangering the health of the locals, like they do in Africa). 

China is the perfect business partner for rogue states – due to the Chinese “non-interference” policy (that is, do whichever atrocity to your people, we don’t care). Therefore, I don’t understand why any Western country would want to partner up with such a Government – should we infer that European Countries have gone rogue? Do they have anything to hide? 

Is this sudden interest in allowing the Chinese in related to the fact that a good portion of Europe has become one of the biggest Money Laundering Machines for Terror Organisations, like Hezbollah, and Rogue States, like Iran? 

These are very hard questions that need answers as soon as possible. But we cannot allow countries like the United Kingdom, Portugal, and others jeopardise the security of the People only because they may be hiding skeletons in the closet. 

China tells the US they need to prove their accusations - “Be careful with what you wish for, you may get it”, meaning that DS doesn’t believe Beijing is truly ready to have the US presenting evidence of their nefarious activities (and they go way beyond backdoors and malware). If that evidence would somehow surface, it would trigger a backlash so strong that would probably dictate the fall of the Red Dragon. 

Back to the UK

If it’s true that Theresa May did sell the UK’s National Security to China and then tried to conceal it from the People, then she and her entire Cabinet must lose their position. What on earth could possess a Political Leader to ignore the advice of its most powerful ally (the US), of its own Security Establishment and expose its National Communication System to Beijing’s espionage? If the PM, or someone in the Cabinet, is being blackmailed, then PM Theresa May has been compromised and she must definitely relinquish her seat. 

Regarding Gavin Williamson: if indeed he is innocent then “Who’s Afraid of Roger Rabbit?” we ask. Rumour has it that, as a former whip, he has knowledge of where all the bodies are buried; therefore, it is very silly to get rid of a person with such a profile. So, again, what possessed PM May? And since when does one hang people without due process? Something is afoot, Watson. 

Conclusion

China is somewhat a power because many moons ago the US allowed it when President Nixon brought Communist China to sit at the World Political Table. China grew as an economic powerhouse because the West took jobs from their citizens to transfer them to Chinese workers – i.e. Western Leaders took the bread from their citizen’s mouth to feed the Chinese. China is now an alleged 5G champion because it probably stole the idea from western nations with the sole intention to penetrate their territory via Trade Agreements. In simpler words, China depends more on the world then the other way around. 

If European countries’ coffers are too empty to invest in the development of their 5G systems, or if their legislators are too blind by ideology to deregulate to allow for the development of their 5G systems (like America is doing), then they should at least procure Samsung, Nokia and Ericsson for 5G supply. Leave China and its espionage out of our National Security.
