All those cheering UK policy banning #5G equipment from #Huawei, calm down.

Thread...
Policy: Buying new Huawei #5G equipment banned after 31 December 2020.

Implication: Nothing -- UK telecommunications firms are free to buy all #Huawei equipment they want, and more, over the next five months.
Policy: Existing ban on Huawei from most sensitive ‘core’ parts of 5G network remains.

Implication: Nothing -- no change from previous policy.
Policy: All #Huawei equipment to be removed from #5G networks by end of 2027.

Implication: Nothing -- by 2027, 5G will be history, 6G will be commercialised (Samsung plans commercial 6G by 2028, but others could pull the clock).
UK Digital Secretary Oliver Dowden: Following US sanctions against #Huawei and updated technical advice from our cyber experts, the government has decided it is necessary to ban Huawei from our #5G networks.

But if Huawei equipment is not secure today, why hold on it till 2027?
From what it looks from here, UK has granted a foreign policy statement to US, but gifted their telecom network security to China for the next seven years.

Still examining the policy. Will update. But for now, congratulations #Huawei!

Until China reforms, Made in China firms must be treated with as much caution and precaution as India is treating the Made in China pandemic

India will not be alone in rejecting #Huawei.
UK proposes a D10 club of democratic partners for #5G:
-- G7
-- Australia
-- South Korea
-- India

The primary issue around Clause 7.1 is that the right to property as a fundamental right was snatched away from Indians in 1978.

A short thread...
Between 1951 through 1976, seven amendments—1st (1951), 4th (1955), 17th (1964), 25th (1971), 39th (1975), 40th (1976), and 42nd (1976)—were brought in, all of which were struck down by the Supreme Court.
Finally, with the 44th Amendment (1978) and the repeal of Article 19(1)(f), the right to property was taken away.
With two exceptions:
1. Minorities to establish and administer educational institutions.
2. Persons holding land for personal cultivation within the ceiling limit.

Sorry @irsassociation @finmin @nsitharaman: these measures will be inadequate to derail the Indian economy.
Here are some ideas that may help.

Just 40% tax on the rich? It’s is too low. The rich are parasites, rogues, anti-national. You can do better.
The tax should be raised to 93.5% as Indira Gandhi had in her 1970 Budget.
And don’t forget the 15% surcharge that took the marginal rate of tax to 97.5%.

Why only 'tax' income of the rich? Stop their income, period.
Learn from Finance Minister Y.B. Chavan, who in his May 1971 Budget put a monthly salary ceiling of Rs 5,000 and Rs 1,000 as perquisites.
“…which go ill with norms of egalitarian society.”
