"Would she have welcomed the Belt and Road Initiative without demanding absolute transparency and the highest standards? Would she allow China to control the internet of the future?"

"I know it’s a sensitive topic, but we have to talk about sensitive things, as friends."

"As a matter of Chinese law, the Chinese government can rightfully demand access to data flowing through Huawei and ZTE systems. Why would anyone grant such power to a regime that has already grossly violated cyberspace?"

"We know 5G is a sovereign decision – but it must be made with the
broader strategic context in mind," says @SecPompeo in London speech.

"We can’t make progress on a new (trade) agreement until Brexit gets resolved. God speech and good luck" says @SecPompeo.
