China, Huawei propose internet protocol with a built-in killswitch New IP sounds good in some ways, but might help authoritarian crackdowns March 30, 2020 https://www.engadget.com/2020-03-30-china-huawei-new-ip-proposal.html
It's open secret that China governments seriously considers disconnecting country from the wider Internet and create some sort of nation-state network instead.
And not only China, comrade Putin is slowly but steadily building his own national network too. It's strange...what do these communist (although China is as far away from real Communism as it's from real democracy) and ex-communist (ditto for Russia, capitalism was just a tool for them...) nations are afraid of? Their own citizens? Or that their "dreamland" is corrupted by western barbarians ? That the so called "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" is sullied somehow by giving their citizen free access to Internet? Anyway... I have to confess that I did give Huawei a very small benefit of doubt. But after this disgusting proposal of the so called "New IP" (worldview must be fundamentally screwed if you need kill-switch and ability to authorize humans at protocol-level) it's clear that it's nothing more than corporate mouthpiece for party. I will never buy Huawei, Vivo or Oppo phone.
