A kick in the 5G is a good start.

"Now it's time to lasso the biggest Chinese domination tool -- 5G, the umbrella under which apps, investments, and soon governments could operate," wrote Blaise Fernandes. "It should be viewed in conjunction with China's four heavens: BRI, the ambitious Digital Silk Route plan, Made in China 2025 and Chinese Standards 2035." China seeks to control global 5G network through Huawei, whose founder Ren Zhengfei has been an engineer in the Peoples Liberation Army, but denies spying for the Chinese government. The US government has already ordered sanctions on Huawei which will make it difficult for countries using its equipment to share data with the US. Australia has banned the use of 5G equipment from Huawei and ZTE and the Mail Online reported that, "Huawei technology will be axed from Britain's 5G network after an intelligence report warned that the security risks surrounding the Chinese telecoms giant are too severe." The outcome of losing control of 5G could be, "Externally for China's global economic dominance and loss of bargaining power, while internally it could lead to internal strife and discontent, degrading the social contract of the 'better life' for ordinary Chinese." "When Chinese President XI Jinping first articulated the notion of the 'community of shared future of mankind', also translated as 'community of common destiny', at the UN in 2015, it appeared vague, Not many paid attention," wrote Syed Akbaruddin. Now, more and more of mankind are balking at the danger of sharing a future with an uncivilized barbaric people. "The current president of China, Xi Jinping continues to talk about Asian unity," wrote C Raja Mohan. But, "For Xi, Asian unity is about getting Beijing's neighbors to acquiesce in China's regional primacy." "Although China has every right to claim Asian primacy, others are not obliged to accept it." India has rejected China's invitation to join its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which maybe the reason for the cowardly ambush and murder of 20 India soldiers on Galwan Valley. "The US-China rivalry is shifting into new and unpredictable areas, engulfing everything from a popular video app to Hong Kong's status as a global financial hub," wrote Enda Curran. "Chinese state media said Saturday the double US aircraft carrier deployment to the South China Sea is 'at their pleasure'," and can be destroyed at any time by DF-21D and DF-26 'aircraft carrier killer missiles'. Following China's security law for Hong Kong, Canada suspended extradition treaty with the territory. Australia not only suspended extradition treaty with Hong Kong, but offered to extend visas for Hong Kong citizens for 5 years and invited financial companies to relocate to Australia. The world has turned the other cheek to China's lies, intellectual property theft and unprincipled trade practices. Now it's eye for an eye. Or, a kick in the 5G.
