Haha, as it turns out, someone should have warned China about Australia. Remember ASIO head David Irvine's security assessment of Huawei in 2012 that resulted in the federal government banning the Chinese telecommunications giant from participating in our NBN?
Haha, it turns out from documents just leaked by Edward Snowden that during this same period, Australia's electronic espionage agency, the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) was actively exploiting weaknesses in the UC mobile browser used by hundreds of millions worldwide (and mainly in China) and hacking into their smartphones through data links to the Google and Samsung app stores. Haha, here we are, banning Huawei from the NBN because of security, whilst at exactly this same time our Government ASD is hacking into billions of Chinese smartphones. Oops! Hahaha!
