Could they not re-brand HUAYIU? Plenty of free advertising at lower league games whenever a substitution happens.

how can you leave politics out when its a political decision. they've been used and deployed upto now on commercial and technical merit.

Difficult to say if you are not allowed to mention politics ?
It is a global political issue though, Huawei are the major Chinese electronics firm who obviously do as their government bids and are intense rivals to US electronics companies. We ( the UK ) are just a pawn in a far bigger game and have been told/warned by Trump to decouple from Huawei and buy American or develop our own tech or incur the wrath of the Orange Baby. We need cheap Chinese imports for a gigantic amount of our businesses and Johnson needs a favourable deal with the US to claim some kind of victory over Brexit when we hit the reality of our mistake in leaving.
Ironically enough, I don't trust US tech companies any more than Chinese ones as they will both do the bidding of their political masters over the rights of UK government and citizens. Even our supposedly independent nuclear weapons are ultimately controlled by the US , if we were to fire one and the US did not want us to there are failsafe's in place to prevent it reaching its target.

Seems like an ideal opportunity to invest in some domestic manufacturing for a change.

CPC are building anything. Vodaphone, 3, O2, EE and others are building the network. they want to use Huawei because they are cheaper and better spec than competitor branded devices. if say Ericsson, Qualcomm or others provide as cheap/good, they'll use them.

Really? Need to have a bit of proof of this.

Not sure about the failsafe but all launch systems for the UK nuclear arsenal are owned by the US and only loaned out to the UK.Even our supposedly independent nuclear weapons are ultimately controlled by the US , if we were to fire one and the US did not want us to there are failsafe's in place to prevent it reaching its target.

dont think thats correct either. the missiles themselves are leased, in a continuous cycle of transport/deployed/transport/refurbishment. its operationally independent from US once deployed.

Yep,so where is the UK on this ?
The US spies on its own people more than other countries. So yea I dont trust them either but there is something very sinister about how China uses its technology to control its people.
Also the US control of our weapons is fake news https://www.forces.net/long-reads/lima-charlie-who-really-controls-uks-nuclear-deterrent

There was a test firing of an unarmed UK Trident missile a few years ago. A problem occurred a few seconds in to the launch and the missile " was" self destructed, by a signal from the good ol USA before we could do it.

Could rebrand as "Howay" and merge with Sports Direct?
That is a shocking revelation, can you provide a link to support that please?
