Well, now we have another international incident involving Chinese electronic manufacturer Huawei. Polish intelligence has arrested two employees of the company and have charged them with spying for China. This comes at a time when Canada has arrested the funder's daughter at the request of the US DOJ on charges she violated sanctions imposed by the US against Iran. And China retaliated by arresting 2 Canadians for unspecified charges. And, the Chinese reopened a case involving an Australian who was sentenced to 15 years for smuggling and the prosecution says the sentence was too light. Double jeopardy here?
All this amidst an intense trade war between the US and China, based on Chinese attempts and successes in stealing American trade secrets and proprietary property related most often to tech innovation and design. In Poland, Huawei has established a manufacturing footprint that is certain to expand as the goal is to establish a presence in eastern Europe to access that EU market for Chinese products so the country can outflank American tech companies across the continent. Needless to say, Huawei has not attempted to establish such facilities in Putin's Russyan area due to all of the Kremlin's business related shenanigans(ask Bill Browder). Perhaps the latest charges against Huawei will filter back to the US DOJ and convince any skeptics that Huawei does the bidding of the PLA and Beijing(conjoined) and is really the commercial face of Beijing's attempts and acknowledged efforts to become the number 1 source of worldwide economic activity in the next 5-10 years.
What now Mr. Trump?
Lake Tahoe, California's Alpine playground, is anchored on the west shore by Homewood/Tahoma, straddling two counties:Placer and El Dorado. The mayor of Tahoma posts information related to the area and items of interest to residents and visitors alike. Its goal is to be informative, humorous, and timely. Hope you enjoy the site.
