Huawei: New Pressure From UK

      Well, it took awhile, but the UK has come on board to put more pressure on China by acknowledging that Huawei is beholden directly to the Communist regime in Beijing.  The UK government decided that they could not use Huawei technology in their 5G rollout throughout the kingdom.   Hmmmmm.  While they offered the usual reasons for the decision, it came down to following the lead of the USA as it ups the ante on confronting the "new" international transgressions  from Beijing.   While Huawei executives claim they will not employ spyware in their technology,  most intelligence community members agree that this is a farfetched claim.  What Beijing wants, Beijing gets.
       Recently, the White House issued a new policy about foreign students enrolled on American campuses.   These students, numbering over a million, would have their visas cancelled if they did not take any on campus classes in the physical setting.   This comes as some schools announced they would only have online classes.   Harvard and M.I.T. immediately, filed lawsuits to negate the order.   Others files Amicus briefs.   This the White House recognized as too much of an obstacle, and cancelled the order yesterday.   Chinese students make up the largest number of foreign students on American campuses.  It's all about the money; and foreign students pay big money for the privilege of attending American universities.
       So, as Hong Kong continues to deal with the latest National Security Law put in place by Beijing,  the world watches, and waits.
