It would be normal for anybody running a high-profile, politically controversial operation in China to anticipate worst-case scenario, and to do everything possible to guard against them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think that there is a concern, a question mark, by people all around the world and governments all around the world, as to what China's intentions are.
Try to think for your own why the Russians and the Chinese do not like the idea that whoever takes aggressive steps to keep order within his sovereign borders should not accept others to intervene physically.
That's the reason some schools of thinking don't rule out a destruction of the Chinese military potential before the situation grows worse than it is today. It's bad enough now.
Chinese people need to be controlled; otherwise, they will do whatever they want.
I visited the Chinese side last year. The Chinese are in a constant state of military readiness. They have all their nuclear weapons in the area, presumably trained on targets across the border.
All enterprises and major players need to pay attention to the needs of the government of the country of which they are a part. At one level, it would be unconscionable for a company like Huawei not to be responsive to Chinese national-security needs.
Many Chinese companies are run like military camps with military discipline. We do not run a company that way. It does not help the creative process.
Only reform and opening up can develop China. We must not be afraid of any risks, and not be confused by any distractions.
The Chinese are good at repression and can be pretty ruthless about it.
The United States is afraid of China; it is not a military threat to anyone and is the least aggressive of all the major military powers.
