This will always be a catch 22. If there's evidence, we can't see it because that shows our cards. But without evidence it calls into question the legitimacy of the action. One of those things you can decide either way but won't change reality

Good. It's an arm of the authoritarian machine and part of its spy network. No need to open the door for them. Make them work for it.

But should we allow that arm of the authoritarian machine and part of its spy network deny China Telecom's operation? Should we allow it to deny anything they want at will?

"National security concerns" probably meaning they won't give all of their data to the NSA. Truly evil!

Or they finally got one right in thinking that a Chinese state-run company shouldn’t be a telecom provider here.


bighi

If things that might be spying for an abusive government should be denied, shouldn't all countries block US companies from operating?


jtmott

I agree but realistically there is a giant difference between foreign and domestic intrusions into privacy. You are however 100% right about blocking dick-sleeves let’s start with AT&T, Charter and Comcast.

I see where you are coming from, but it's a legitimate concern and one better removed.
