There is proof of a nation forcing its companies to give access so that it can spy on nationals not just at home but also abroad. The offending nation is the USA. And for those who believe this was 'legitimate' and to fight terrorism please note they were also caught spying on Angela Merkel to gain commercial advantage during TTIP discussions. And now the insinuations and slander orchestrated at government level to try to bring down a company that is beating them in the marketplace is further proof that the US government will do anything it can to give US companies an unfair advantage Suggesting we should not deal with the Chinese because we 'cannot trust them' is downright racist. I do not necessarily look for 'proof beyond reasonable doubt; but today NOTHING has been offered apart from rumours.

The best way of avoiding conflict is to have deep rooted commercial interactions such that there is too much to lose from falling out with your neighbours. It has worked in Europe with the EU. Trump seems intent on destroying the existing deeply interwoven supply chains involved in technology today. No US chips in Chinese products and vica versa. Seems like preparations for conflict.
