Business doyen, Alan Kohler, probed the question yesterday:
…the Australian Huawei ban was tentative, a bit embarrassed, with Cabinet forced into it by the spooks in the Signals Directorate, but their hearts weren’t in it. And why would they be? China is our main trading partner, and we’re banning their national champion?
In stark contrast, the American action against Huawei earlier this month, is full on, both barrels, and unapologetic, and unlike Australia’s is aimed at US companies supplying Huawei, not the other way around.
