On today's show we are joined by a computer security researcher and friend of the show to discuss the latest controversy surrounding the Chinese telecommunications juggernaut Huawei. We chat about the recent trade war and ban on its technology being used in the American government, the detainment of one of its executives at the Vancouver International Airport some months ago and whether or not the paranoia surrounding the company is more about preserving the existing economic model and Western imperialist domination rather than a real security threat.
