The US wants to kill part of an 8,000 mile-long undersea cable linking Hong Kong with LA over China spying fears

 

The US government seems poised to stunt a multimillion undersea cable project by Google and Facebook.

 

The cable is part of the Pacific Light Cable Network and was announced in 2016. Google said at the time the cable would be 8,000 miles long and span the Pacific Ocean, linking Los Angeles with Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the Philippines. It is designed to manage 120 terabytes of data per second, or 80 million HD videoconference calls between LA and Hong Kong, according to Google's statements in 2016.

 

A Depart of Justice committee called Team Telecom has now recommended to the FCC that the part of the cable connecting Hong Kong be rejected on security grounds.

 

The committee said it fears a cable to Hong Kong could be vulnerable to being tapped by the Chinese government, and is particularly concerned by the fact a large investor in the cable was a Hong Kong-based company called Dr. Peng Ltd which it says is the "fourth largest provider of telecommunications services in the PRC [People's Republic of China]."

 

More broadly it says the cable could help China make Hong Kong a pan-Asian Pacific telecommunications hub, meaning US data would be more likely to pass through Chinese infrastructure even if China wasn't its final destination.

 

The US government's fears were heightened is due to "the PRC government's recent actions to remove Hong Kong's autonomy and allow for the possibility that PRC intelligence and security services will operate openly in Hong Kong."

 

In May China introduced sweeping new legislation for Hong Kong, cracking down on dissent and taking away many of the region's semi-autonomous powers, sparking widespread protests.

 

Team Telecom said the portions connecting the US with Taiwan and the Philippines should be allowed to function.

This is a man, a guilty man, who is pissed off that their dirty little secrets will not be swept under the rug any more like he was promised.

Like has been done in the past. Where the guilty get to hold on to their public portrayal of some saint, that met an untimely demise. Where idiots weep for their loss and put them up on a pedestal.

Thought they'd get the No Name send off.

Half-brother of man found hanged involved in shootout

 

The half-brother of a man found hanged from a tree in Southern California was involved in a gunfight with authorities Wednesday in the Mojave Desert, law enforcement sources told NBC News and NBC Los Angeles.

 

One person died and another was injured in the shooting in the high-desert community of Rosamond, about 56 miles northeast of Los Angeles, sources said.

 

A man believed to have been in the gunfight with a specialized team from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is the half-brother of Robert Fuller, 24, found hanged June 10 near Palmdale City Hall, law enforcement and family sources said.

 

โ€œThis afternoon I had to notify the sisters of Robert Fuller that their half-brother" was killed in the shooting, said Jamon R. Hicks, a lawyer for Fuller's family, in a statement Wednesday night.

 

Authorities have not confirmed the identity of the person involved in the firefight. But the same individual was named in a criminal complaint filed Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court that alleges assault with a deadly weapon, false imprisonment, domestic violence and criminal threats.

 

The suspect was wanted for holding a woman against her will in an attempt to get information about Fuller's death, sources said.

 

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department officials initially said Fuller's death appeared to be a suicide. Amid protests over the death of George Floyd, family members and activists have staged demonstrations outside Palmdale City Hall to demand a second opinion.

 

Hicks said on Tuesday that the family was calling for an independent investigation and autopsy.

 

"The Sheriffโ€™s Department immediately declared his death a suicide without completing a full and thorough investigation," Hicks said in a statement.

 

Following Fuller's death, authorities in Victorville, about 53 miles east of Palmdale, reported that a man named Malcolm Harsch was found dead May 31 after he was "cut down" from a tree by people near a homeless encampment, according to a police statement.

 

"Although there remains no sign of foul play, the forensic pathologist is waiting for toxicology results before assigning the cause and manner of death," Victorville police said Monday.

 

The FBI, the U.S. attorney's office for Central California and the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division were reviewing the investigations into the two deaths, the FBI said.
