People’s Republic of China & Operation Middle Kingdom…oh yes, Huawei and the colonization of Africa & India….

Good day my curious friends…much in the cyber news to amuse and entrain, but never alarm you…

Pay particular attention the articles below related to Huawei and their colonization of India via BSNL and Ethiopia via massive telco rollouts. People’s Republic of China & Operation Middle Kingdom…oh yes, Huawei and the colonization of Africa & India….always remember that a significant amount of cyber threat news and alerts will be released on Friday, saturdays and Sundays…when no one is paying attention…

Enjoy –
