Japan won't join U.S. plan to exclude Chinese firms from telecom networks: report

Japan told the United States that Tokyo cannot join a framework which excludes a specific nation but will reconsider if there is any change to the current U.S. plan, according to the report.

How can Japan wish to join 5 eyes when it can't even understand strategic plans with global security implications?

It's not a framework to exckude a particular nation, it's a framework for reshaping national and global relations based on reciprocity.

Can Japanese companies operate as freely in China as Chinese companies operate in Japan?

Japan isn't interested in four or five eyes. All they want is war with China, at Japan and Asia's expense.

Xi has told everyone in China to prepare for war and you say it is the west who wants war? Your eyes are closed and all you hear is Chinese propaganda.

Read between the lines a little. Japan is being diplomatic. In the end they will follow all the "Clean Network" protocols because they make sense from a security stand point but won't call it that. And if the Americans are smart, they won't lean on Japan to openly say they are following the "Clean Network" protocols but will instead keep their lips zipped and look at what Japan does instead.

Glad to hear this! Japan should join the rising China, and decouple from the sinking US. China is the future.
