Chinese Telcos with ties to the Chinese government now aiming to roll out 5G in Australia

Website editor’s note:  The text below has been excerpted from the website of Don Maisch, PhD.  Dr. Maisch’s PhD is on standards for electromagnetic radiation in the telecommunications industry.  His site emfacts.com is a useful source of information relating to the science and politics of electromagnetic radiation and health issues.

As reported by the Financial Review, two Chinese telecommunications companies ZTE  and, Huawei, with ties to the Chinese government are now tendering to roll out Telstra’s 5G network in Australia, among other things. Considering that 5G is supposed to be the future communications hub will allow the  Internet of Things , and a future Australian autonomous vehicle network, etc., is it wise to risk giving the Chinese government a “back door” to controlling all this?  China’s aggressive moves in the South China Sea should be sufficient to ban these companies altogether from having any role in building Australia’s infrastructure.
