With news today of Sweden’s ban on #Huawei #5G, we are updating the status map we’ve kept going for over two years.

Sweden goes full ban blue. Image
For those that might be wondering why the UK is still shown as red, the ban is not yet in place in the UK as the telecom bill hasn’t yet been presented to parliament, needs to go through second reading, committee stage, 3rd reading, Lords, then to Royal Assent.
I also remain on guard as I suspect that if U.S. sanctions banning component supplies to Huawei were to change for any reason, I think that’ll be taken as a cue by the carriers, backed by a parallel policy from Beijing, to try to reverse that almost but not quite yet a ban, ban.
Recent comments from the CEO of Deutsche Telekom (who are the leading champion of Huawei 5G in Europe) have me understanding that some of the carriers are at least trying to wait this out. Also, Deutsche Telekom’s Huawei support in Europe has done T-Mo zero harm in the U.S.

1. I am very satisfied with the apology received from RTE before the High Court today, together with the substantial financial settlement reached.
2. It's regrettable that I had to initiate these defamation proceedings arising from RTE’s Prime Time broadcast on 27th Nov 08 in order to vindicate my reputation & had to prosecute the claim to this stage before reaching settlement.
3. However, I'm delighted with the result & today’s formal apology from @rte

Just watched a hilarious @CNN report claiming that the White House wants to "fast track a contract for Rivada without a competitive process" (a lie). and that it would be "the biggest hand off of economic power to a single entity in history"🤣. Who owns @CNN? That's right, AT&T.
I was wondering when AT&T would roll out @CNN to spin their spin and it didn't take long. It's amazing. You hear the guy say "without a competitive process" with a straight face. I see that they were given this exact quote in writing:
"If we were offered a no bid contract we would turn it down..."

Was it referenced in the 'News' piece? No, of course it wasn't.

@CNN, an AT&T company.

I've long warned that #Huawei #5G was the tip of the spear of the China's Communist Party's strategy to extend its global power & reach. Nice of their propaganda sheet to make it official:
"Kicking out Huawei equipment from British networks will considerably increase the financial burdens for service providers, delay 5G rollout in the country, hurt relations with China, darken the UK's post-Brexit economic prospects, and erode confidence in...
...the UK's long-standing reputation as a market economy.

British telecom operators from EE to Three have aired concerns about the high cost of replacing Huawei. They are foremost victims of politicization."

Something that needs to be said regarding China and who got what wrong etc. What I’ll call ‘the Kissinger school’ on the PRC had a point, which was engagement would bring openness, a middle class would end the CPC tyranny etc. I can’t fault them for trying & it was worth a shot.
I never subscribed to it because my experiences formed me to know that Communism in any form, is unredeemable badness. It elevates and rewards the worst traits in humanity. Genuinely good people do not make it up the ranks in remotely sufficient numbers, & that’s being generous.
What we can’t fall back into is any sense of complacency re the Communist Party of China. We need commitment in the West to do what we can to bring about an end of their reign of terror. We have to cut ourselves off from the sugar high of their cash, their stuff & their influence

1. A new development over the last 24 hours in Communist China.

Regarding shipments of PPE, they have now further restricted what gets to leave, ostensibly to prevent substandard PPE leaving. In recent days I’ve tweeted about how scarcity of freight space was being manipulated.
2. The new restrictions placed yesterday require special certification from the manufacturer, in short, new traceability rules. That link the products right to the machine & production line. Effectively this means only PPE manufactured in China can now be exported.
3. There’s a lot of the world’s stock of top quality PPE in warehouses in China, stuff that was bought up & shipped to China before the world fully understood the risk. This stock is ‘the best stuff’. Some of it has been purchased by donors & others to bring back to the West.

Just so everyone knows. You are going to see a cross section of European Prime Ministers and Foreign Ministers thank Communist China for ‘helping’ (selling us stuff). Ireland’s Taoiseach has just issued such a statement.
I don’t know at all if this was the case for the Taoiseach’s statement, but I do know that in at least some other cases they were a condition of being able to buy and airfreight PPE from Communist China.

Gritted teeth.
I’m not saying this to criticise various European leaders, if they have to kowtow this month and next in order to get in vital medical supplies, I fully get it. I’m saying this now because I know it to be true & I want you all to know this is what Communist China is making us do.
