Tuesday, news of the continuing battle for China’s technology dominance around the globe took an interesting turn when overturned documents showed that a former Barack H. Obama administration official, Samir Jain, was now lobbying for China’s leading technology provider, Huawei.

“Cybersecurity & Privacy Partner, Jones Day | Fmr. Senior Director, Cybersecurity, National Security Council, White House,” according to Jain’s LinkedIn profile.

WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL? (MYSTERIOUS HACKS EVERYWHERE)

Australia Government was hacked and they attribute that to Huawei technology. Other countries government have shown concern.

Like I have to believe that there is more than 3 stories going on.

🔺All of Australia’s political parties just got hacked and Canada has no defences for that.

🔺UK basically siding with Canada in Huawei policy while Trump still seems to think Meng decision is a bargaining chip — Stephanie Carvin (@StephanieCarvin) February 23, 2019

US is taking the lead from Australia here talking about country/brand-agnostic approach for 5G security banning those from countries which do not have a Rule of Laws. 🇩🇪🇫🇷 are heading that way. Will 🇬🇧? @JohnHemmings2 https://t.co/oEJPGTQvzF — SCS_Disputes (@SCS_Disputes) April 9, 2019

WHITEHOUSE CYBER SECURITY AND JUSTICE DEPARTMENT FOR OBAMA

According to Jones Day:

“Mr. Jain comes to Jones Day after serving as White House Senior Director for Cybersecurity Policy at the National Security Council. In that role, he led a team responsible for threat and incident response, cyber operations, counter-advisory campaigns, international engagement, and issues concerning law enforcement access to information. Mr. Jain regularly worked with the National Security Advisor and Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Terrorism on cybersecurity matters.

“Samir is an exceptional lawyer and his experience and credentials related to his work with the White House and Justice Department are truly impressive,” said Dan McLoon, who leads Jones Day’s Cybersecurity, Privacy & Data Protection Practice. “Lawyers with his experience are rare. He will be a great addition to our growing, global cybersecurity practice.”

IS SOMEONE WATCHING US?

On Monday BBC Technology reported on Huawei, the 5G leaders:

“Huawei removed wi-fi transmitting cards from a Pakistan-based surveillance system’s CCTV cabinets after they were discovered by the project’s staff.

Punjab Safe City Authority (PSCA) told BBC Panorama it had told the firm to remove the modules in 2017 “due to [a] potential of misuse”.

The authority said that the Chinese firm had previously made mention of the cards in its bidding documents.

But a source involved in the project suggested the reference was obscure.

A spokesman for Huawei said there had been a “misunderstanding”. He added that the cards had been installed to provide diagnostic information, but said he was unable to discuss the matter further.”

CYBERWAR OVER 5G

China claims they are winning the new frontier for cyber dominance, which many watchers speculate will lead to Communist dominance in the United States, a place where Newt Gingrich says, “we will never recover from if we fall there”.

Supporters of President Donald J. Trump may see that letting Trump get in the game may turn the tide on who owns 5G technology.

UN WEIGHS IN

“I would encourage Huawei to be given equal opportunities to bid for business, and during the operational process, if you find anything wrong, then you can charge them and accuse them,” Houlin Zhao the head of the International Telecommunication Union said.

The Trump administration has discouraged Canada and Italy from allowing Huawei to lead 5G networks citing spying as the leading reason to not allow the company access.

Australia has blocked mobile providers from using Huawei and the UK in Brexit discussions have concerns over Huawei.

MUST BE TRUMP’S FAULT- ACCORDING TO COMMUNIST SYMPATHIZERS

"What should @Huawei ’s latest moves mean to us?"

Not only countries, but companies too are considerably affected by Trump’s paranoia or his bad acting. As a matter of fact, this exposure does yield some good results. (Please click) https://t.co/NK2pCJlnmf @HuaweiEnt pic.twitter.com/k5dYIzSaPF — emre alkin (@emrealkin1969) April 8, 2019

DEMOCRATS LOBBY FOR FOREIGN CONTROL OF 5G OVER AMERICAN CONTROL

Congress is pushing back aggressively against TrumpWorld's nebulous plan for a greater gov't role in the 5G wireless rollout, with both chambers today advancing bipartisan bills to kill an unpopular "nationalization" plan that refuses to die. https://t.co/Uvprb4qCAI — Brendan Bordelon (@BrendanBordelon) April 4, 2019
