China is loaded…money spent on this project..iron curtain in technology and a National Security/ Military to us!!!

For China to have control of the 5G technology is a National Security Issue…auto piloted drones, etc.

United States national security officials considered building a secure 5G network to guard against China, a cybersecurity and economic threat, according to a memo and Powerpoint slides leaked to the media. The nationalized 5G plan did not enthuse the U.S. wireless industry. The Federal Communications Commission leadership also opposed the idea of a government-controlled network.

On Jan. 31, ZTE Corp, a leading Chinese telecommunications equipment maker, announced plans to raise 13 billion yuan ($2.1 billion) for 5G development. ZTE also plans to invest 42.9 billion yuan over three years in 5G technology as it pushes to be among the first companies to build a 5G network by 2020.

China’s response to America’s 5G push underscores the worries expressed in the leaked documents. The documents described China as “the dominant malicious actor in the Information Domain,” and presented the nationalized 5G plan as a “moonshot” to helping America win the information “arms race” against China. China, the documents notes, is carrying out a “21st Century Manhattan Project” with manufacturing and economic plans aimed at gaining market dominance in artificial intelligence, robotics, and other spheres. China is also building up a “strategic reserve” of data. If the U.S. government builds a 5G network, it can ensure network security in America, and even help “inoculate” developing countries against “Chinese neo-colonial behavior,” according to the documents

The U.S. 5G documents also do not overstate the China threat. People’s Liberation Army (PLA) cyber units have successfully hacked U.S. businesses, government networks, and infrastructure companies in recent years, a phenomenon observed by the U.S. government and private security companies. A U.S. Congressional report noted that telecommunications equipment by Chinese makers Huawei and ZTE could be used for “spying and other malicious purposes.”

Meanwhile, the Federal Bureau of Investigation considers China’s state-sponsored economic espionage the “most predominant threat” facing the U.S., and notes that Chinese hacking costs the American economy hundreds of billions each year. The U.S. is not the only country targeted by the CCP. In January, the African Union (AU) accused China of hacking its headquarters and downloading classified data every night for the past five years. The AU building was constructed by the Chinese and presented as a “gift” to improve Sino-African relations. If China wins the global 5G race, it will have enormous leverage to intensify its cyber espionage and subversion plans to disastrous consequences for the U.S. and the world.

Unrivaled China technological dominance could lead to severe outcomes. Pentagon consultant Michael Pillsbury wrote in The Hundred-Year Marathon that the PLA would trump U.S. forces in war games scenarios where it used unconventional warfare methods and technology. In the novel Ghost Fleet, authors P.W. Singer and August Cole hypothesize a future war where a Chinese military outfitted with next-generation fighter drones, and hacker militias defeat a U.S. military force whose high-tech equipment containing Chinese electronics malfunctions in battle. Chinese control of American satellites also makes U.S. military maneuvers difficult in the story. Fiction and wargaming paint a cautionary “what if” scenario for when an “Americanized” PLA utilizing asymmetrical hybrid warfare tactics, advanced AI, Big Data, and 5G networks decides to flex its muscles. And technological advances may very well embolden the CCP to consider the military option to further its expansionism.

China is “Loaded” money spent on this project

China's 5G Technology is a National Security / Military/ threat or issue for us….remote controlled drones, etc.

The U.S., China And Others Race To Develop 5G Mobile Networks—April/2018

Qualcomm company's challenges prompted a “hostile takeover attempt” by Broadcom (Singapore based company )earlier this year for $121 billion. Broadcom’s move, however, raised immediate concerns in Washington regarding the implications for U.S. national security and technological leadership following suggestions that it would cease funding for Qualcomm’s 5G research and development, thereby allowing a Chinese competitor like Huawei to potentially emerge and supplant Qualcomm as an industry leader.

Companies Huawei and ZTE are also China Based.

5G as China – an ambition that has stoked more than a few fears in Washington. On a wider scale, 5G networks will hold together many of the technological innovations that will define the world in the decade to come, including the internet of things, outdoor autonomous robots for agriculture and industry, the smart utility grid, and autonomous vehicles and drones. And with the significance of 5G far outweighing that of any of its predecessors, nation-states are taking notice as they race to roll out their own networks to establish a first-mover advantage.

Wariness in Washington

Huawei has provoked particular concern in Washington due to its leadership in 5G trials and its status as a leading radio access network vendor. Since 2012, U.S. politicians have expressed worries about using ZTE and Huawei equipment on U.S. networks out of concerns about the potential security risk. As a result, a de facto ban on Huawei and ZTE’s equipment in the United States could become more permanent in the country amid growing U.S. nationalism that seeks to close the door to Chinese technology – even though the two companies have inked global partnerships and business deals in Canada, Japan and Europe for 5G. The White House has even reportedly considered nationalizing the United States' 5G network and is also considering invoking emergency powers to restrict further Chinese investment in such sensitive sectors.

But Huawei and ZTE are not Washington’s sole concern. While U.S. firms like Intel and Qualcomm are critical players in the 5G system overall, the United States does not have a major domestic manufacturer of 5G radio access network hardware. Accordingly, the United States is voluntarily walling itself off on 5G by eschewing Huawei and ZTE, since there are only three other companies, Samsung, Nokia and Ericsson, that are currently exploring end-to-end solutions for 5G.
