Washington Asks Allies to Drop Huawei
The U.S. government has initiated an extraordinary outreach campaign to foreign allies, trying to persuade wireless and internet providers in these countries to avoid telecommunications equipment from China's Huawei Technologies Co., according to people familiar with the situation.
American officials have briefed their government counterparts and telecom executives in friendly countries where Huawei equipment is already in wide use, including Germany, Italy and Japan, about what they see as cybersecurity risks, these people said. The U.S. is also considering increasing financial aid for telecommunications development in countries that shun Chinese-made equipment, some of these people say.

Like it or not, China is a lot more Autocratic, please see the new "Social Rating System" for examples of the government abusing their power. Yes, I'm sure we have some issues, but please stop trying to paint the USA and China with the same paintbrush. I would gladly, joyously live in Russia, if my only other option was China. Not to say that Russia is all bad, but I'm an American and I doubt that would do me any favors in Russia.
