Writing is indeed therapeutic. It allows my thoughts to “go freely”; all the while helps me to gain insight into things in much better manner.

That is why a spate of posts in recent days. Rest assured I am neck deep in studies; hardly any time to explore anything.

I wrote a write up on Desi critics on the same issue; basically a platform for writing on something which is not related here to the main “context” of the blog.

The full write up is here.

This should have been done earlier! Huawei has set up a complete infrastructure with loads of Chinese employees; I am sure most of them as “spies”. The ownership structure is very opaque and it is plausible that it is being funded by the Chinese Government in a big way.

Any potential loss of revenue is filled up by more than willing government which makes these companies very aggressive on price front. It is said that their prices are about 20% lower than the competing companies from Europe.

I have always maintained that the so called telecom revolution is a BIG major missed opportunity to shore up Indian manufacturing. Except maybe for heavy manufacturing, we have nothing else to speak of. Much of the technology is “imported” while the so called “software superpower” is basically a euphemism for petty sweat shops; likes of ironically China and Malaysia where the downtrodden are paid a pittance by the hour. We had vast swathes of Chinese mobile phones coming in without the mandatory IMEI numbers; a huge security risk. It was all allowed by these bastards to increase their customers knowing fully well the potential security implications.

If that is not all, China has been mounting a covert and overt cyber warfare. First it was well publicized attack on Google which whined and scampered; then media went into overdrive when it was revealed that “sensitive” documents and files were “hacked“.

NY Times carried out a detailed report on this issue.

If we are “serious” about securing our frontiers, we need to “close our backdoors”. Simple. Chinese must be booted out.
