China has banned google, facebook, twitter, youtube. You may think it has something to do with censorship, Chinese gov't simply doesn't criticisms of its regime but how does banning facebook have anything to do with that? How does banning google map, google services/products like drive, gmail ect, have anything to do with that? It is nothing more than economic protectionism.

@wasab Google and Facebook are only blocked in some parts of China. In those areas, they have a different Facebook monitored by the government making sure they arn't saying anything bad about the country.

My question is if that is the case, why ban them except economic protectionism? China has been banning US companies for years. But USA has only recently began banning Chinese companies, starting with ZTE.

It is a fact that Huawei has many top execs who are active members of the Peoples Liberation Army.  If they are ordered by the CCP to spy on customers then they will.  If not the CCP will disappear them and their families and there isn't a power on earth with the will or motivation to take them on.  

Furthermore, that is a regime that has proven to STILL be SO EVIL to it's people.  The Uighur's of Xinjiang are undergoing something akin to the holocaust right now... and we are talking about buying phones from the people behind it?  I have no ill will towards the Chinese people as a whole.  With over a billion people there is no way any rational person can.  However, what is being done in their name is so awful....

Given that how can there be any doubt that Huawei wouldn't be co-opted to do a bit of spying.

I want Huawei to be banned on the reason that they make abhorrent android liveries.

Exactly can't get ANY outside internet in China anymore without a VPN. Plus if you are a Chinese national and use a VPN you might just get a knock on your door.

I'd much rather give my info to Google than to Huawei. Their phones aren't anything special either. Huawei bloats their phones with useless applications and ugly UI. I had the Honor 8 until I bought Nokia's 6.1 with Android One and was actually SURPRISED to see how the stock android looked so much better.

Anyways, I think the ban is a good thing, it'll hurt them for sure.
